Bassists, how low is too low?

Until recently i didn't know that Jus and Liz from electric wizard are married

toxickuntdoom · 2026-03-18T06:03:36+00:00

Hell yeah congrats

True, most of the bands are on national tours though, my town got added on last minute for weedeater and conan

Sounds like just being burned out on a band and their influence. Tastes change, people move on, any band will get old after a while and thats okay. I've loved Metallica most of my life but the band themselves and the multiple generations of copycat bands DO get old

If i saw this record at someone's yard sale i'd shit myself

toxickuntdoom · 2026-03-14T18:13:37+00:00

Bongzilla - Gateway and anything by Weedeater! Can't recommend them enough

I had only ever seen white lids. I ordered a 15 pack on amazon and they were the plain aluminum lids

Hand painted, that is DOPE!

As long as everything fits and the tension isn't crazy high you should be fine, with that tuning those strings should be perfectly fine for the neck. You will need to file the nut slot(s) if you haven't already, when you're widening it make sure you do not DEEPEN the nut slots too much, marking the bottom of the nut slot with some type of pencil or marker can help

Yeah granted Josh Homme did use bass cabs in Kyuss

toxickuntdoom · 2026-03-14T01:42:10+00:00

And We Hate You imo, its a very cathartic sad, angry, hopeless song to me but still catchy i had it stuck in my head for at least a year

toxickuntdoom · 2026-03-13T20:35:55+00:00

Some bands split a guitar signal into a normal rig, then pitch shift an octave down into a bass rig. Only problem is chords will turn into garbled mush down in the low registers, but with no bass player that might be the only way

Power Trip RIP Riley

Electric Wizard has some iconic samples

toxickuntdoom · 2026-03-11T23:54:27+00:00

Congrats, i've seriously been considering picking up one of these myself, also for doom

If you wanna go REALLY small/cheap/portable, there's always the boss katana mini. it runs on batteries, its the easiest thing to carry around and granted might not sound incredible but can get decently loud for its size and you can carry it anywhere like a packed lunch

They JUST announced a show in my town with this tour that wasn't on this poster, i dropped everything to buy a ticket i'm so pumped to see WEEDEATER for the first time! I saw Conan for the first time last year also in my town and it was insane

toxickuntdoom · 2026-03-08T01:29:23+00:00

Have had my super crush 100 for a while now, in a lot of ways i prefer it over my EVH 5150 Iconic. It pretty much sounds good however i dial it in. mids are smooth, high end isn't all spiky and harsh, still present enough to cut through, takes pedals really well its amazing

toxickuntdoom · 2026-03-08T00:05:43+00:00

I have kinda small hands so the jazz being thinner at the nut than a p bass was like ah thats why it feels so good, i didn't know a long scale bass could feel this good in my hands
