Well, I was playing outside because my grandma was getting mad I was practicing inside, so I hauled my amp and bass outside.
Now, it's not impressive, but I have a 200W WorkingMan SWR 15 Combo, and this sucker can get loud, but anyway.
I was playing at the only plug-in outside of the house, facing the neighbors' house. I didn't have it up loud at all, then suddenly, I hear
"TURN THAT DAMN THING DOWN! IT SOUNDS LIKE #@@$!"
coming from my neighbors' house.
I laughed. They usually have a stereo outside that rattles my house, and it's so annoying. I just turned around, and turned the Gain and Master Volume up to 10 (okay, maybe not), and turned the Bass knob up, too, for added effect.
I then started jamming some random runs. Needless to say, they were pissed. It was funny, though, looking over there and seeing them yelling, not being able to hear them. I stopped shortly afterward, though, because I figured that they'd had enough.
Oh well. They shouldn't play *shudder* rap music on a loud car system.
Any similar stories?
EDIT: They were teenagers, they do it all the time. Please don't flame anymore.

| | | | You mean blowing my amp?
Okay, maybe I didn't turn it up that much... I like exaggerating. It has a limiter anyway.

| | | | You guys don't understand, it was nice to get revenge for once. I mean, every damn day the punks are playing on some stereo system that literally shakes my WHOLE HOUSE. My grandma (whom I live with), doesn't want to call the police, though, because our shaky past with the neighbors. It was nice for once.

As for the grandma thing, might wanna think about a practice amp with a headphone jack or something to be nice (peavey maxbass combos are good actually) but I wouldn't make any apologies over the punks next door
