My brother had one, and I've only recently learned as I went on to look for my first valve amp. Why did he had to sell it? They were 1/10 the price they are now when he had it, why? I'm so mad and jealous
@sekritdokumint9326 Yeah..... I bought the head and 8x10 cabinet from a guy for like $350 in the mid 90's. It's definitely one of my biggest gear regrets to get rid of it.
Is the orange stack in the middle a guitar rig I’m guessing? Did look at the head for any numbers or layout. Anyway great call on the SOUND CITY AMPS. The 120’s are and it’s nice seeing people who appreciate how loud and hard the older equipment is!!! And of course you can’t go wrong with the ol trust Ampeg 8x10 cabs. They can handle pretty much any head. Once I had a long weekend drive in my car to a gig. I asked them if they had a back line for bass and they said we have two ampeg8x10’s and an old Sunn 4x15. So perfect just had to take my heads, bass, pedal board!! So I end up running two 72 acoustic370 heads, one on each 8x10 and then used my Sunn concert slave with another acoustic370 running into the Sunn 4x15. Playing in three piece “hard rock” and stoner bands for a lack of better terms most of my years even growing up in the hardcore punk scene playing Dbeat it was always three musicians sometimes a singer sometimes one of us. So I’ve ever only knew LOUD!!! I play with a minimum 2 stacks completely dimmed. And usually a third can with a slave and reg head through some arrangements of 15&18 inch speakers except on the everything’s at 0 except bass and volume knobs which are dimed!! And we run everything panned so it looks like it’s sounds hahaha. Guitarist usually two Marshall full stacks with a plexi on one and a JCM800 on the other so looking at the stage from left to right it goes 8x10, 4x15, 4x12 with a bluesbreaker as the head which is more for me nd drummer to get stage sound, then in the middle DRUMS then 8x10, Marshall full stack with plexi, finally Marshall full stack with JCM800. Basically the PA is just for micing drums and to excentuate the left right pan usually not super loud coming through that just depends on size of the venue. Growing up in hardcore we also learned to get crazy tight not using any monitors so super loud stage sound is the order of the day! It is a very honed in sound but can be very depressive to the point it feels like a pressure on your torso pressing on you guys and lungs! But I’ll always do the loud thing, hell even my trad country band is loud, all clean but we all use Fender Twins and the pedal steel all three use them and the upright goes through ampeg 8x10. Drums are kick, snare, ride/crash cymbal, hi-hats, sometimes a floor tom if we are doing more of that suped up backersfiels/rockabilly sets. But mostly pumpn on the snare a la Cocaine blues. Boy I digressed quite a bit here. But that’s how inspiring a RIC instrument is!! Actually did I even mention I play a RIC4001 autumn glory for the heavy band and for country I play another 4001 maple glo with flat wounds, and an old 1941 Kay 3/4 upright all custom made fit strings by a local instrument maker. Honestly that word alone doesn’t do him justice. When it’s comes to any music with bass, guitar, drums, banjos, mandolins, and fiddles he's genius. Then in come in tube amplification and circuit and soldering. He’s from another planet!!! But he always makes my upright strings and strings for my old Tyme banjo which also use gut(not on everyone just a couple of the many). So if anyone is still reading this and can relate in anyway just DM me or reply to comment!
Walking past the closed door I would have been "Damn! Recording? Nope. What is that? Who his that?" then open the door just enough to poke my head inside and then "Damn, dude. Nice!"
Not being funny but was that bass wah bought 2nd hand? I had one like that I sold about 15ish years ago that the battery lid broke on and I black leccy taped it closed, I also wrote V+T above the volume and tone controls in permenant pen with a marker.... :D
Robert M well, i prefer flats, and the difference between the two is a lot. I know ( generally ) that flats also have more tension, and i don’t like using heavy strings.
I believe this particular OHM stick is part of an old washing line!! Here’s Doug comment Glissando bar...idea copied from Daevid Allen and Steve Hillage from Gong, back in the early 1970s...used with echo, and a slowly phased wah, it produces a cello bow sort of effect....yup, it was part of a "whirlygig" washing line strut... Acid Mothers Temple's guitarist uses a Japanese ceremonial dagger, Dave Brock uses various pieces of metal for the same effect.....✌👽😁
@@CyberneticWitchCult Thanks for sharing. I never would have guessed that one! Innovation and creation are a great match. Your ric takes well to your effects. My ric is a baby compared to your '80 model. Your sound from using the ohm stick is haunting. I love beautiful noise. Spot on.
"The Halfords tin ah-heh (nervous laugh) 😅 is where i keep my (weed, fek no cant say that) fsttt (oh fek hope the weird noise stopping the start of that W and twisting it into klingon didn't give me away - come on weed brain make up a convincing lie...) ssspare plectrums (YES! 🎉) - not that I use plectrums (fekkkkkkkkkk, they know 😰)".
I want to be this man when I'm old.
I am this old and he's inspirational :O
We know what's really in the tin Doug .
joints and plectrums, i asked him at a show
Robert M you could hear him border on saying spliff and I love that
@@riffwizardsupreme the sssss plectrums
@Chance Henrik Lmao you're a fake account
Cookies 🍪 🍪, the man is a monster on bass!
this video makes me want a rick even more now
I had one of those old Sound City amps back in the middle 90's and traded it off. I'm totally kicking myself for it.
We all had that one piece of gear we traded lol
My brother had one, and I've only recently learned as I went on to look for my first valve amp. Why did he had to sell it? They were 1/10 the price they are now when he had it, why? I'm so mad and jealous

Such a cool rig! Great tones and hella inspiring. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow honestly one of the best bass tones I have ever heard
The action on your Ric when seen from the top looks PERFECT. So low. 💥
The whale stick!
This was cool to see dudes.
Sick tone dude, god damn. Also man, the pentatonic lines r so awesome. Awesome bluesy doom lines. I hear geezer butler
Great to see a bit of behind the scenes! Looking forward to the next couple vids, and still hyped for the album!
puppy
Doug got me messing with a pencil or triangle stick with fuzz and a flange. Cool stuff!
That is cool af! Love the whale stick. Cool dude, great setup, beautiful bass. Thanks for sharing
ricks in drop c are heavenly sounding

Those sound city’s are 🔥🔥🔥
Damn, that was so thick. tyvm.
mystic tone
Eu ja assisti esse vídeo várias vezes...
Esse ano eu ainda não tinha, pois cá estou !
É certo que eu voltarei, 👉🏻👍🏻
Eu disse que voltava pra assistir, pois bem 😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
Damn,that wail stick,never heard a bass sound like that,great set up!😍
AND A Grateful Dead sticker! We are not worthy!
He seems like such a nice old dude. I wanna smoke a bowl with him so bad.
He’s a legend, brought a thunderbird off him haha
That tone! 🤙🏼
Nice setup Doug!
I'm surprised at how thick and booming that bottom end is despite having the bass rolled off just slightly.
Well I found a cool new band from this. Thanks 👍🏻
Good vibes
i love the wah
Great stuff
nice

Possibly!
Hey can I come over and hangout with u guys
Excellent!
What does he use at 5:35?
Whale stick, couple of delays delay
@@CyberneticWitchCult Thanks, for the quick response.
@@mna6890 apparently it’s an old close hanger stick, used as a violin style bow
can anyone recommend some flatwound strings for C# Standard?
Robert M well, i prefer flats, and the difference between the two is a lot. I know ( generally ) that flats also have more tension, and i don’t like using heavy strings.
Rotosound 77 105s. I use them for c standard.
Steve Harris Rotorsound. They go up to 110. The tension is so high that when you’re in C standard it feels like you’re in E on normal strings.
I do it on some intros, ........ uh the intro to ........ oh never mind
Was the red pedal to the left of the Wah, a phaser?
pog (octave generator)
💥💪💥
where to get the wail stick?
It’s from an old curtain line actually!
What is the stick called? Ohm stick? Who makes or made it?
I believe this particular OHM stick is part of an old washing line!!
Here’s Doug comment

The Russians hacked dude's pedalboard.
Sounds like it isn't plugged in.
until he hits a pedal
Why does a bass player need pedals???
To sound precisely like the god that plays it intends?
this guy's voice doesn't match hahaha. i was expecting a rough smokers voice
