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

That can all be achieved in one pedal with a few footswitches.

I suppose, but I have no idea how to do that.

 

[bassboysam]

sonny was talking about a dual fuzz pedal in the bluebeard thead a while back. That would take care of 2.

Yeah I was thinking about that.

Look at the edit to my initial post. I could draw it out for you or we could plan a new muff build. It sounds like an interesting project.

Just get a Line6

Picked up the Guild today. No time for pictures! Details later.

 

[ampegfuzz]

I almost got a guild for a real good price in the classifieds beebass wanted it too I believe. We were both too late.

 

[demon666]

I always wanted one of those Guilds that looks like an EB-3. Especially the one with the carved oak leaves

all this talk of basses makes me miss my spector

There's a carved one on eBay. They look incredible.

Congrats! Post it on up in the Guild Club thread too!

I've decided to pick up Mandolin, not very DOOM but cool non the less,I recently acquired an old 50's Kay Mandolin for free. I wish it was electric, because I'd plug her in and see how she screams with walls of fuzz, but when it's free, take what you can get.

I would like to get either one of the EB-3 style Guilds or a Guild B-302 eventually. They are really cool looking basses. Also, the bassist for Laudanum was using a B-401 when I saw them, and sounded amazing.

Yep that's the one I've been eyeing

 

[mc_muench]

Those EB-3 looking Guilds are called Jetstar's. I'd want a Mahagony B-302 with a fretless rosewood fretboard.

 

[mc_muench]

I just figured out how to play Silver leaf by Asteroid on mandolin!

 

[bassboysam]

That can all be achieved in one pedal with a few footswitches.

One foot switch for selecting between gain and tone settings (like a channel selector) then a switch for tone bypass. Plus the standard on/off switch.

interesting, so you would set up those switches to select predetermined circuit with capacitors and resistors to set the gain and tone to a fixed amount instead of a pot?

More like two sets of volume and tone controls and a footswitch to select between them.

 

[bassboysam]

Oh, even better, would each channel have an independent distortion/fuzz control too? I would imagine they would need to.

Maybe I'll hire you for a little project

 

[Korladis]

That is not ok. One must have an unnecessarily firm opinion and spitefully look down upon anyone who doesn't share it.

I think quite a few active basses sound good. I like Stingrays and Bongos as far as sound goes. Same with Warwicks, Spectors, and this Schecter Scorpion I played once.

But I'm too dumb for active basses. If I'm too stupid to check batteries in my pedals, getting a bass that needs batteries would be a bad idea. I know myself, you see.

Also, I like the way my passive basses sound better even than any active bass I've played. Not because they are passive, as I like their sound better than any other passives I've played, too.

Sorry, I meant sustain and tone controls. Volume would effect both channels. So far this is just a thought experiment. I'd have to spend a little time working out the feasibility.
