My first lesson in this was when I was going to college as a classical guitar transfer major. We had a night class (optional but recommended) called "wire choir" (I forget the actual name) where a large group of guitar players would play single lines, harmonizing, on jazz standards. Good for...

Dang, just ordered 2 @ 18$/ea from Jersey. See what you people did???? You'll be hearing from my wife.

Does that cat have a bolt-on neck? I assume you are using old school cat gut strings. Quite a tail-piece. Gonna need a new lick guard, though. Also, sand down the burrs - I grabbed the neck and came back bleeding.

Was using both my Rumbles last weekend, finally remembered to take a picture. Top is v3 combo 200 (1x15) horn on, bottom is v3 combo 500 (2x10) horn off. Left is fretless jazz frankenbass (active preamp, replaced tuners/bridge/pickups/etc) w/ flats. Right is early-80s MIJ (w/ American serial...

I know exactly what it- ouch! does. And I wish- Ouch! you would qui- Dang it~ I wish you wou- Ow! Dagnabbit, quit hitting that stupid button!!

What throws me more than scale length is string count, lol. When I switch quickly from 4 to 5 string and play that signature E lick on the B...

Like someone else mentioned, I am addicted to that feeling. I gotta play frequently or I go into withdrawl. My wife can recognize it. I truly hate it when a gig gets cancelled at the last moment, after you are prepared for it. It is such a let down, I get almost depressed. The gigs almost...

No, actually not. Gonna have to try that. Good idea. I tend to overthink things.... ;)

I've already replaced the horn and handle, more to fill the hole to get the cab back to spec than anything (fill the hole). Pretty cheap and easy, like $15. Previous owner cut the wires, so had minor soldering. They must have yanked the handle off, I had to remove the T nuts and go with...

Oh, and I got these used, and the 200 was missing the horn and handle. I'm not worried about warranties on these combos. I'm electronically savvy and tend to do my own repairs and modifications. Not usually happy with an amp until I tweak it, if it needs it or not, lol.

Yeah, but the boss had denied any further purchases :) I'm stuck with what I have for a while... I have read about/researched the modification, and actually plan on using a contact breaking jack so simply plugging the external speaker cable in bypasses the amp, so I don't have to worry about...

Okay, I'd like to ask fellow Rumblers for their input - I've got two v3 combos, the 200 (1x15) and the 500 (2x10). They sound good stacked and slaved (effect out of the top 500 into the effect return of the bottom 200 - one vol and EQ to rule them all). However, I would like more out of the...

Yeah, I'll second that. Another Texas guy here. The only time we (the many bands I've been in that last 30+ years) had a PA we didn't haul in was when we opened for someone bigger. Even when there was a house PA in a club, we used our own because the house PA was for DJ use only or karaoke...

5-String Bass -> BBE -> dbx Subharmonic Synth -> Amp (blown) -> PA (blown) -> audience (blown) Can't seem to find where the problem is.... :laugh:

LOL, I play with one band (a trio except when the sax can show up) where the singer/guitar player has three guitars: one standard, one down a half step, one down a full step. Most of the (classic rock/blues) songs I can transpose on my 5-string no problem. But its a real pain. Especially on...
