The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[CaptainBoxman]

Been away for a few years - I started experiencing what I think was carpal tunnel and it made it impossible to play without serious pain. Sold off all my shit, except the guitars I built for sentimental value, and all but gave up. I sold all my shit a year ago, and I would say I stopped playing around 2/2.5 years ago.

2 weeks ago, I randomly decided to pick up the bass guitar I got for my 13th birthday and it fucking turns out I can play bass with no pain at all. AT ALL. Naturally I shit myself with excitement and bought a new bass straight away and basically haven't put it down since. I still have some chops, but to be honest I'm more suited to bass anyway.

Long update shortened to a point - I need a bass amp and though I've owned every variety of doom guitar amp (GT120, AOR, OTR120, Concert Lead, and a shit load of others), I have fuck all knowledge of doom bass amps

I'm looking for something cheap, ideally I don't want to spend more than £1000 on amp and cab in total so no custom built Verellen or anything like that...

Any suggestions you fine dudes can give would be appreciated

Congrats, dude! That's excellent to hear. You want something gig-worthy or just for putzin' around at the house?

Also, hi everyone. I never have time to log on here anymore. Hope to see y'all on the road and shit!

Something that can do a bit of both. I've got to remain semi-sensible with price. I probably can't justify a £1000 tube head right now especially since I'm not in a band, but I do need something that can provide volume and lows without being a pile of digital trash

Volume and lows without breaking the bank but not being digital shit? Buckle up, son.

Sunn 1200
Ampeg SVT
Traynor YBA-200-2 (DO NOT get the 200. The 200-2 removes the auto bias that led to a myriad of problems)
Anything Orange

Older, heavy as fuck Trace Elliott amps

Hey doods,

Recorded a new album and its finally ready to come out. This is the first time in a while that I've been the only guitarist. It was fun getting to blend amps and all that stuff in the studio. I used a 2nd gen Model T and a Matamp GT120 both being pushed by a Pharaoh and Witchburner for this track. Some Dunwich Gravity Well is in there, too. Check it out and let me know what yall think.

I like it a lot. The guitars sound great. Great job on the recording. I really like the sort of lullaby ending.

Thanks man. I've always been a sucker for creepy music box type things. When we were writing it we liked it but were all worried that it'd come across as some shitty numetal type thing. We said fuck it and left it in there and looking back I'm glad we did. It gives a pretty nice transition to the 2nd track which is a part 2 to this song.

EU Doom Room bros, we coming'.

[Iommic Pope]

Hey guys, I’ve been busy as lately. Barely had an online presence.

Spamming to let you guys know I have a fuzz throne up in the BST.
There’s a doom room discount if you get at me.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

We got them done through EasyDisc, a small run of 100 which ran a little over $2 a disc. They made the design process bearable, considering I've never done a digipak layout before. They don't distribute your music like CDbaby does, but I believe they're more affordable if you don't need the extra stuff.

Really dig easydisc. did 2 different digipak runs for some releases earlier this year. very pleased with the results. Most of my previous stuff was through kunaki.

ILD used to be such a vibrant forum, where the fuck did everybody go?

Traded their doom vests for OP-1s and are making soundcloud rap.

Not dungeon synth?

I was actually messing with this thing while wearing a denim vest today
Circuit won't quit the band, Circuit doesn't have an opiate problem or a new baby, Circuit shows up to practice, Circuit never needs new tubes
Circuit is my real friend
Will report back after I plug it into a full stack

I would never give into the OP1 hype...actually, I went with moog subphatty instead and working on electrodronedoomscape

Synths rule
Dungeon synth rule
Op-1 doesn’t do it for me though.

OP1 hot takes:
works great by itself
not super intuitive
not plug and play
not work $1k
