The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[ryan summit]

get them crowns
i never did cause i ran out of $$$
they didnt tell me itd be another $1200 to finish
a huge chunk of what real tooth is left fell out recently
i just hope when t have the loot they can still grind and crown it
i have a silver one behind it
barely visible unless im like really fallin over laughing
this one is in perfect pimp-smile position
like used mattress salesman blangblang
but right now it looks like an old sponge im sure
the rub is that the $1200 i already spent was a waste
if it cant be saved when i get the next 12
but am i gonna take my own advice
fuck no
dentalroom problems

[odontophobia]

dental room problems are some of my biggest fears.

i have never been afraid of the doom room until now.

[Ancient Astronaught]

Yeah, my wife and I are learning allll abotu maternity and paternity leave now

Or lack there of?

I got one week off (5 working days) when my daughter was born.

dental room problems are some of my biggest fears.

i have never been afraid of the doom room until now.

Would u say you suffer from orthodontophobia?

Sooooooo there is this double cut Les Paul Special with p90s on my local craigslist for a pretty decent price. The want is high, but the funds are low. I need you guys to tell me that it would sound pretty much like my SG classic and cure my wants.

Or tell me about how different and rad it will sound. Either way works.

Dude, get that shit. Get that shit now. What color? I need pics or a link or something. DC LP's are becoming some of my favorite guitars out there. Especially the jr's with single p90's.

It's flat black with dos p90s. I'd probably snatch the neck p90 out and put a red tort guard on it. That's if I had the money. Which I don't. But I can still think about it and masturbate if I want.

i would try to find out if it's a special or a faded model or one of the others. i know the faded models, and possibly the specials or some of the specials, had bodies made of a four piece pancake design. practically a piece of plywood at that point. really not a great guitar and not worth spending money on, especially if it's a time when it would be a big purchase for you and you already have a cool guitar. some of those other double cuts are a single piece body and are pretty good guitars. as for the sg comparison, i've not played any of them much, but i would say that since it's a mahogany body slab with no arched top piece on it, and a fairly thin body at that, it's probably not going to be all that different from an sg, being as an sg is a fairly thin mahogany body with no top. they look a little different but the makeup of the guitar is really similar in terms of materials. and if it's a pancake body, then your sg is going to be a better starting point. the thing that really makes a regular les paul different is the thick body and the heavy arched cap piece give it a lot more mass. that huge chunk of wood just has different resonant properties. and there's the various neck profiles to consider. that one is more likely to have a thin neck rather than an sg baseball bat. so there's that.

i really like the double cut lp's with the arched top on them. more like a traditional lp but just double cut. pretty much what my ibanez artist is. i'm a sucker for that design. i know spaceflunky used to have a double cut black lp studio of that style and it looked awesome. i'd love to find one of those for a good price. not easy to come by though.

[misterstomach]

also, conky, i finally got to check out that deadhand link for the new recording. it sounds so good. that's a really good home recording job. and the songs are fucking great. a sensible progression from the last recording, but fucking awesome regardless. good job. and the packaging looks killer. maybe even better than the last one, which i loved. i really appreciate the work y'all put into your packaging.

Pretty insane set last night. Riffs basically sounded like amps exploding with the drums being the only indicator of song changes Dude was using a whammy on all his stuff so everything had that squeezed, down pitched chaos too it.

[live-i-evil]

That's an awesome pic Dan and Nick - you can see the sexy joy all over your faces.

Dudes. Nails fucking RULED Saturday. Holy shit. I also drank way too much whiskey and had to sleep in the van for a while. Awesome. To anyone who came out this weekend in Denver, cheers!

Fuck dude, I was there! The bass player of Nails, John, is in another band called Fell to Low that I'm touring with at the moment. I didn't see that you were playing that show until we were already headed outta Denver toward Laramie for the next FTL show. Had I know you were there we could have really gone to town on the beers instead of just whiskey! Also, I wonder if you know a guy named Edward that books in Laramie? He's gonna be going on tour with Of Feather and Bone and I'm pretty sure I saw you post in here before that you either knew those dudes or played a gig with them. Anyway, he put the show on in Laramie and put us up after and his apartment is just filled with LOUD amps that the Doom Room would surely appreciate. A Mitchell 100 watt, V4B, VT22, 2 JMPs, Sunn Concert Lead + Beta Lead + 1200s looking thing, Model T, Acoustic 370, Yamaha t100 and maybe 4 4x12s and 2 6x12s plus the weird giant ampeg 4x12+1x15 cab. I had the biggest shit eating grin walking into there.

Also, I know some Canadian doom roomers in here had mentioned going to some or one of the Alberta or BC shows - if you do come out I'll be the tall dude with Fell to Low wearing a beanie that has a moustache. You can shoot me a PM here but I may not get it since I'm WiFi dependent up here but if you see me, my name's Brett, let's hang!

[Nostradoomus]

I'll see you at the Vancouver show man, my buddy's band Write Off is opening. He runs a full Orange rig, 2 Rockerverbs/4x12s. Should rule pretty hard but it's a small venue and the sound guy is a loudness curmudgeon apparently.

[Iommic Pope]

Dude, straight up get that DCLP.

[t-rey]

I've got a soft spot for double cutaway P90 Gibsons.... was what my Obstructures was modeled after

Yep. I think my wife is only getting 8 weeks, and she said that she didn't want me to take all of December off, so I'm only going to have 2 weeks for the baby around the end of November/beginning of December, and then taking off the whole last week of December into January. But then that's it. So theoretically my wife will have to go back to work at the earliest mid January, at the latest the start of February. I think her pay goes down to 60%, mine is all PTO based apparently.

I love the shape of them. One way or the other I'll probably end up with a doublecut LP at some point.

Yeah, the FMLA laws differ from state to state - my wife had to burn her PTO (which wasn't much) so we had to save like several thousand dollars before the kiddo arrived so she could stay home the full 12 weeks. I was hoping to stay home for two weeks since going much longer than that without any income at all wouldn't be a good thing for my household. I get really shitty about it since some of our really good friends moved to Australia - they had a kid and their FMLA is one year (unpaid) but the government gives you like 18 weeks of your salary to be home with the kid. Of course, literally everything in Australia is poisonous and/or trying to kill you at all times, so it might not be that fair of a deal...

But mostly it's because my wife would love to be a stay at home mom and since therapists (and most other people who don't legally steal money for a living) are horribly underpaid, I can't provide that for her and it fucking bums me out. Big time.

I haven't, but if I ever get gainful employment again, I plan to find/build a white p90 SG

Sounds like a very solid plan.

i would try to find out if it's a special or a faded model or one of the others. i know the faded models, and possibly the specials or some of the specials, had bodies made of a four piece pancake design. practically a piece of plywood at that point. really not a great guitar and not worth spending money on, especially if it's a time when it would be a big purchase for you and you already have a cool guitar. some of those other double cuts are a single piece body and are pretty good guitars. as for the sg comparison, i've not played any of them much, but i would say that since it's a mahogany body slab with no arched top piece on it, and a fairly thin body at that, it's probably not going to be all that different from an sg, being as an sg is a fairly thin mahogany body with no top. they look a little different but the makeup of the guitar is really similar in terms of materials. and if it's a pancake body, then your sg is going to be a better starting point. the thing that really makes a regular les paul different is the thick body and the heavy arched cap piece give it a lot more mass. that huge chunk of wood just has different resonant properties. and there's the various neck profiles to consider. that one is more likely to have a thin neck rather than an sg baseball bat. so there's that.

i really like the double cut lp's with the arched top on them. more like a traditional lp but just double cut. pretty much what my ibanez artist is. i'm a sucker for that design. i know spaceflunky used to have a double cut black lp studio of that style and it looked awesome. i'd love to find one of those for a good price. not easy to come by though.

It's a special, I believe. Thanks for all that info - I had no idea they were doing shit like that. I would love to have a doublecut like spaceflunky has. Sometimes I troll ebay for them. They even made green ones, which makes my man parts tingly. I regret selling my Epi LP, even though it kinda sucked.

Careful with those tingly man-parts -- that could lead to baby making. Any more baby making and you might not have the cheddar for that Double Cut.

Well...I don't have the cheese (or steeze) for the doublecut, so I might as well get something out of the tingling in mah balls

Oh wow, that's crazy duder. I know if and when my PTO would end that I'd be unpaid after that as well. But I've been hoarding it since I found out she was pregnant and not taking any time off so I can save it for when the baby is here haha

And yeah, OZ seems like a double edged sword with that. Would love to have a year off with the new baby though, I think that would be awesome.

The other interesting perk about Australia is a relic from the colonial days called 'long service leave.' After it was no longer a nation of prisoners, educated folks from England were encouraged to go there and work for pretty good pay, since it meant that they were going to be away from their homes and families for a long ass time given the time it took to sail a ship there. Once they had worked for ten years, they were given SIX MOTHERFUCKING PAID MONTHS OFF to return to England (or wherever) and visit their family and then come back. That shit still exists today, and if you don't take it at ten years it continues to build. Some people wait until like 15-20 years and take like a whole year off and travel the world while still getting their normal salary. Of course, I probably have some of that wrong, but I will just rely on Pope to correct me.

[skullservant]

That is AWESOME.
