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

Toast- I'm guessing you and/or your neighbors have already talked to him. here are my ideas...

-Deflate the street side tires on all the cars (except the toyota). It is not property damage since nothing is destroyed. Repeat as necessary. If caught, the worst charge you'd get would be mischief, but it'd be worth it.

-Contact homeland security about suspicious vehicles.

-Wait outside and IMMEDIATELY park in his spot as soon as he moves the toyota, then smile and wave.

-Anonymous call to police about muffled voices coming from the vans.
 
Ooooh, bad karma invite, there. Quick, go do something nice for someone.

Yeah wishing death on him probably wasnt the classiest move, but I'll leave my post there for posterity's sake.

All your ideas would work in theory, however to do his little juggle, he pulls his driving vehicle out, leaves it in the street, then spaces out his other vehicles, then drives away. Repeat in reverse when he comes home. Right now looking out my window I see 4 vehicles taking up 6 parking spots.
 
My Monolith Magma 1.0 went "Poof" today....


I had been playing it pretty hard for the last few days when today it just decided to go "pop" and that was all she wrote. Channel switcher lights still work but the power light is burned out and there is zero output.

Thankfully, it did not take my power amp with it. My question is simple has Wade disappeared for good? Does he answer the phone? I meant to ship it out to him a few weeks ago but he along with a few other magma owners said not to worry about it because if I hadn't experienced problems with it from the get go it should be fine. Not the case here.

I know the facebook page is gone, and he hasn't answered an email from me in weeks. Has anyone had any luck getting in touch with him?

Bassboysam, dats sexy...

I thought the graphic fuzz was just a fuzz with a graphic eq at the end?

What you want is this:

This is exactly what I was talking about. Great, where are my tums?


Also, one need look no further for skillful bass work in a "doomy" context than The Man himself:

Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath-Doing his thing - YouTube

Still my number one influence. You can bust out the skills, just gotta keep it "tasty".

+1000


So the reason I've been vacant today...

The Colossus came, its awesome. I'm keeping the original Big Muff on there for crazy fuzz, and I like BIG pedals. It will eventually be replaced by a Bluebeard. FUZZROCIOUS Dark Driving will make it's way onto the board sometime in summer.

I bought it in late September early October. I was a member of the original group buy. I guess I can call my card provider (Chase) and see if the'll credit the account back to my card.
 
Interesting. My Magma never went "poof" but it definitely killed my PA before I shipped it back to Wade. I kept this video private for obvious reasons before, but now it doesn't seem like it matters. Here is my Magma killing my IPR lol.

By the way you will have zero luck with Wade. Listen to Sam.

"Awe man, Thats not good" LOL Sorry it was funny, i know the situation is not. But just your laid back response was worth a chuckle.
