Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part Ten - What is this thread about again?

Lazarus.Bird said:
Ugh I'm having a gas dilemma. I've never walked into a store, played a bass and said I really need to own that until today. I still have the second half of my dually to pay for and I just bought that svt-7 so it is hard justifying buying a bass right now too. It would also be the most money I've ever spent on a bass.

I may try to sell my '77 Artist. It's a great collectible and eye candy but I don't enjoy playing it that much. I'm not sure if there would even be interest...

At least it's not an ibanez ;) I've played some old guilds (b-301 and the SG looking one) always thought they were cool but never pulled the trigger.
 
Laz, I'm going to be the enabler here, GET IT! GIVE TO THE GAS!!! I did, I went in to my shop thinking I was going to walk out with money and got a bass instead. I'm glad I did, I LOVE HAVING A WARWICK AGAIN! There I said it, I'll shout it to the world.

So how's this highdea for a fuzz pedal...a single fuzz circuit for each band of an EQ pedal. You can dial in fuzz only the highs or only on the lows, or anywhere you fancy.

Such a thing exist?

Fairfield Circuitry Fuzz can kind of do that. It eliminated the Supercollider from my board. It has a very unique sound though it's not your typical vintage fuzz clone.
 
Playing catch up again.
Don't get me wrong guys,I'm not ragging on your gun laws or calling you backwards rednecks,etc,it just wasn't something I would expect to see in a musicians forum,given that talk like that is pretty un-common here.Shooting stuff and blowing **** up is still a hell load of fun though.
As for why assault rifles and alcohol don't mix-you don't trust someone with the deadly force of a car after they've been drinking,so why trust them with the deadly force of a gun? food for thought
Either way,lets leave the gun law discussion in the armoury and get back to the mondo.
Flowing on from MC talking about getting his scratch plate painted,I've got a little something to share with you.For once it's actually not a band,but an artist called Arik Roper. He's done artwork for tons of doom bands,Sleep,High On Fire,Earth,Black Cobra,the list goes on.I'm sure many of you have encountered him before,but if you haven't looked at his other work,I strongly advise it

I was being humorous there, as a gun owner and enthusiast, I would NEVER do such a thing, nor do I condone it.

To add actual music content, not doom at all, but I am really digging the last 2 Dinosaur Jr. CDs.

EHX GRAPHIC FUZZ and wounded paw black sheep. The black sheep is a OD but might have enough drive for what you need.

EDIT: Looks like in the time it took me to come back and post, 2 people beat me too it.
 
The cat I played with last night had this sweet Digitech Expression Factory wah pedal. It had a killer organ type setting and he ran a Boss bass OD into it. Sounded dead on like an organ. Very cool. I played his 8 string Ric the whole time through the Centurian. So, with 2 bass players it sounded like an organ and a high gain down tuned guitar. The Ric was a lot of fun to play. That thing will definitely build finger strength though, could prolly use a good set up.
