You know, I'd have assumed he would be getting this right......... I will have to double check that he does. that's a pretty solid theory.

screw you guys and the 15 talk, look what youve done to me!

Dude, I was measuring up cab dimensions yesterday as well, looks like you've opted for the exact same thing I was going to do. Is that a delta 10"? Cause I was gonna squeeze one in with a 1518 or big Ben into a 30x16x24, ported.

Also, there was to much shit in the past 2000 pages, so I'm just gonna say it sucks when you're listening to om, you wait 11 fucking minutes for the song to break...and then the cd scratches.
At least windhand won't fail me.

I ended up getting the 75' OR120 a couple of days ago.
The 72' pix only was very iffy to me because the output tranny was swapped out...

I'm VERY satisfied with this head though,
EQ is super responsive, lots of lowend,
Really loud. Stoked.
I still want to get a 70's SVT for the live rig though.

This makes me happy in pants!

Sounds solid to me. What's the common denominator here? the operator? Something he is doing with the gear is causing it. I doubt it's the signal into the amps but if the cabs are good ( and I would go so far as to open them and check the wiring, find a way to measure the signal in?

I'm thinking a retube is in order for the C400. I'd like to do it right even if I have to save a bit. Van will take precedence but the Chinese turd tubes gotta go. don't get me wrong, it sounds amazing but everything I've read says it really comes alive with better tubes.
I'd love to hear recommendations

Am I just talking out of my ass here or what, Nick?

questions about stereo setup aby boxes.

Hey Necro, I haven't tapped back in on your future of music thread as I don't want to be arguing with someone that says they'd rather listen to dubstep than another stoner band. A lot of valid points were made after that, and I'm tempted to weigh back in, as I hadn't really gotten beyond trying to justify why people get nostalgic about genres, but it would seem the intellectual climate took a turn for the worse when that comment was dropped. So, apologies.

Also, what would you guys say a fair price for a boss xt-2 xtortion would be? I'm gonna put one up for sale along with my mantra, couldn't be arsed with the bay. $130 shipped to the US for those interested in the mantra. Anywhere else contact me. I won't put them up until I can feel a price out on the xt-2, not really sure where to go in on that.

Yeah after you left someone started an argument about muse being the next Pink Floyd. I was surprised the argument took up nearly a whole page accounting for like 1/3 of the thread. but It did come to an interesting point; We are living in an age without a Megamythic band. The throne is empty, who are the likely candidates to claim it?

(Shameless plug) I urge all of you to go check it out, don't be afraid to speak your opinion my brothers.

Moved into a climate controlled storage space for practice yesterday. Finally have a steady place where we can have practice. Feels good.

Necro: Yeah dude, I can't get behind Muse fans.

Conky: I miss the permanent room my band used to have.

Also, it would seem the XT-2 sits somewheres around $90-100.

EDIT: They're now up for sale. I won't plug it though...

My old band practiced here before but when we lost our drummer we let it go. Took 3 months for another unit to come up where we could get in. We're in a 10 x 10 right now but as soon as a bigger one opens up the lady who runs it is gonna let us take it over.

Also, we were short a guitarist yesterday so the drummer, bassist, and I worked on an ending to one of our songs. I've always wanted to have something with two drummers or at least some extra percussion (marching band influences) and we worked this part out:

Honestly , I like it but everyone who has come over while we were rehearsing and saw the extra set of rack toms immediately made a Slipknot reference. It is almost to the point where I don't even wanna do it anymore because of it. What do you guys say?

Clifton that shit is hot!!!! And fawk Sliptwat, Neurosis was doing it ten years prior (and Oingo Boingo 20 years prior!) and a thousand times better! You should extend it out into a 15 minute Cleanse style jam

I saw tool play once with meshuggah opening and they rolled out a set of extra rack toms and the meshuggah drummer came out and did some crazy extra percussion on one song.

I saw Death Cab play and the singer played on the tiniest little toy-looking drum set for a song for extra drums.

always sounded awesome. As long as you aren;t wearing a jumpsuit and clown mask, bring it on.

+1 on the Neurosisification of that jam. That sounded radsticks, I could listen to that for ages. If you got your other guitarist back, I'd be forcing him at gunpoint to make ambient delay noises while you guys nail that bass riff and massive tommery to everyone's foreheads.
That was a million miles form Slipknot. Fuck them in them in the mouth. People is stoopid.

What I'm tryin to say is, that was cool.

Thanks for the kick in my pants and reminder to just ignore people's stupid comments like that and just do what I wanna do. We are definitely not gonna use it in every song (I'm already feeling tied down with doing the majority of vocals) but we are going to do a jam in the near future for sure. I'm already working on parts for it. The other guitarist came to help set up the space but had to get back home to watch his daughter so his wife could sleep after a coming home from her night shift job. He does a delay + verb'd out lead over that section. Sounds awesome. As soon as we get everything down tight we are gonna record it for the comp.

Conky that shit was rad!
