Oh and BigChief, this thread is by no means Doom only, its more a conglomerate of all heavy and slow music. Whether it be doom, stoner, sludge, alt country, ambient / soundscape, etc, etc If its slow and heavy (sometimes fast n heavy) you'll find find kindred spirit lovers of the same music here!
Yeah, it arrived an hour ago!
It's light, resonant, and is in solid condition. Sonically, the bridge single-coil is tight, balanced and loves dirt. The neck humbucker is a little dull and flat in comparison. It's not a bad pickup by any stretch, but it's not what I expected. I was anticipating a bright, airy type of sound. But this is dark and dull. I might mess around with the height a little before considering swapping it out. The fretboard is in good condition, despite one nasty ding. The finish is quite clammy and not smooth like my Ibanez Artist. I'll be taking it to my tech to restring it with 12's and drop it down to C, perfect the intonation and fret spacing, and see what he can do about smoothing out the fretboard. The back of the neck is satin, and the shape is comfortable, however. As far as the radius, it's fine. It's ideal for chords, just as people have been saying, but even for bending and leads I think I can become accustomed to it. There is some fretting out with big bends, though on the higher frets. That'll have to be sorted out.

http://desbot.bandcamp.com/The bassist from Jakob did a solo drone/doom/ambient thing before going in to do the new Jakob album. Listen with a good sub, it shakes the fuck out of my walls!
Will have a listen now.
Fuckin' dark.
