Sunn rigs of doom

[chev]

woaw, sorry to here that for your drummer!

but the rig looks nice! yeah I've always been tick by hollow body guitar...my friend luthier build some nice ones since he knows how to sculpt arch-top now...soon or later I'll get one made to my taste...but it's going to be nothing less than 3K$! he still has a few old relic he's selling that comes from all over the ebay...they're cheap like 300-500$ range, I should pick one and try...I'm just tempted even more now...haha! I guess you get more sustain and crazy overtones...?

if you ever get some clips it would be awesome...!

hey updated pic...nothing much different except...

new Sennheiser e906, Meathead clone (dark & standard mod), Sonic Titan clone and a LS-2 to switch between the two in one click!

New family pic. Finally got to play the Sheraton at practice last night with the full band (we are auditioning new drummers after ours passed away last month). Sounds just mean, nasty, and evil through the Enforcer. Semi-hollow and Sunn = DOOM! I ran the rigs in tandem also for a bit, nice!

I read about your drummer a few weeks back. Terrible news. My condolences.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments about our drummer - man that one hit us really hard. He was only 27 years old, we just found out he died from heart failure and had an enlarged heart. He lived a clean life but was a pretty big guy. He had only been with us for almost 4 months but that level of talent and the kind of pro he was really had an impact on us. He was just plain good, one of the best drummers I've ever played with in my 25 year music career. And to top it off, funny as hell and just a great person. He was a huge Clutch fan and watching some live Clutch, I really see where is style and influence came from. He brought a level of tightness to the band that we had yet to experience. I don't think you replace that, huge shoes to fill. You just find someone who can work with you and fits in well -- and we have. Our new drummer is great also, totally different style, but can play and has a ton of soul and drive!

By the way, I got to see Eyehategod the other night - just damn!

[chev]

yeah I can imagine it's a big change, drummer inspires break downs and is a big part of the sludgeness of a riff...

me I just found a bassist who's willing to play stricly sludge! he loves Eyehategod! wow!

we did our 1st try out yesterday and I let him use my Sonaro bass rig with my Catalinbread SFT...! sounds awesome! he's going to put bigger strings and tune in drop A over the holidays...!

I also found a new drummer willing to sludge, still need to set a try out but it should work out.

so I'll get a new sludge band running soon...! in parallel with my black drone doom band...

He'll be a lucky bassplayer.... 
Great news.. waiting for your updates!

the project is still going good.

here's the pics of the actual doom bass rig I've manage to buy & setup for my lucky bassist...I can finally get to play bass sometimes, I love it.

sounds like: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10336089



the bass is a custom recycled Fender Mexicain P-bass...looks cool with «the Punisher» theme.

hey no more Sunn rig pics?

here's my latest family picture, the place is too small so I can't get everyone completely in the picture...

Guitar rig Model T+Solarus, Bass Rig Solarus+Sonaro

the new Emi CB158 I've ordered wouldn't fit in the 1x15 because of studs being too short so I've put them in the 215s for now and use the 2 1x15 with the Big Ben for the T.

I just picked up a beta 610 a couple weeks ago.

This one isn't mine, but it looks identical to the cab.

Here's a new picture of the goods. It was bright that day, so the picture came out kind of hazy.

Sunn 2000s+2xSunn 2000s cabinets (JBL K140s). Top is currently awaiting speakers (just picked it up today), bottom is home built to vintage spec.

120w+4x15s will be decidedly devastating. Let alone with a Bassman 300 in place of the 2000s.

Yep, devastating to a lot of things, such as; your back, door frames, storage space, whatever vehicle you tote them with, sound engineers at venues when you roll them up on stage, etc... 

It will indeed sound pretty awesome though, now you are "whole". Good score!

update! beta bass master line out into the coliseum slave...still to many options to try...

My drummer just got his Ludwig re-issue Bonham kit, so we jammed a bit, and then got picture-happy.

My pair of 612S cabs and their Model Ts are on the right, with my Concert Lead and Space Echo hanging around atop them. The 412S is the sad looking one without a grille. I think I need a matching Concert lead and 412S, though.
