What's Coming and Going X: Pedalphiles Unite!

Not open for further replies.
In: introspection, outrospection, and an evaluation of what is really important to me

out: the mildly successful band I started 3 years ago, I named, and gave 100% of attention to- they've decided to continue "in a new direction" with a new bass player
 
W, time to assuage some of that angst the old fashioned way.

No, no Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby ice cream. No, not crack off of a Bangkok whore's naval.

You need a new bass and/or a few pedals. Maybe something completely different, like a Kala U-Bass.
 
I'm already working on meeting new people to play with, but as personal history has proven this is can be the most arduous part of process. I'm not going to give up-

thanks guys, I'm not sure I have anywhere else to talk abut this.
 
awwwwwwwwwwww........ i LIKE my drumer.

'course.... i took him from my last band. i don't talk poo about people in public so....... that's..... as much as i'll say about that.

but i usually like drummers a lot.
 
Sorry to hear that Wolfman.
Sucks they had to be so short sighted; tossing someone out of the boat to add buoyancy instead of plugging the leaks that are actually sinking them...

I have to agree with caeman too, Chubby Hubby is like ambrosia or something... :)
 
What kind of guitar is this going in?

Schecter Devil Spine: 3 piece mahogany set neck w/ebony fretboard, mahogany body, bridge pickup only - EMG 81, volume knob only, Grover tuners, Kerly Kues Nickel Jazz Heavy strings... its a screamer! Got it new for $350 from MF last year, one of their last available since Schecter doesn't make these anymore.

You can't see it in the photo but the graphics are sparkly silver (like a speed boat), and kinda glow under stage lights. heh, metal..:bassist:

I got this for my lady friend to make noise with in our space/metal project (bass, guitar, drums...warp speed rhythm, space madness, hot green alien babe screaming insanities, etc...). She finds the EMG 81 too shrill for her taste (go figure, EMG 81, shrill?). A single bridge pickup for metal is a bit ear piercingly brutal (which is cool in small doses). The Crunch Lab bridge pickup is supposed to round off the highs a bunch, tame the mids to be less twangy, and boost the lows a bit... I guess. This is an experiment in progress, so we'll see.

I may route a neck pickup in there some day, to give her more flexibility. For now, she just wants to make interesting noises with the thing. Her current gas is a Ringworm w/Copilot Broadcast.

Thanks to this forum, she understands what GAS is all about, and is totally infected, heh heh heh!
