So... I have to lug a little table for my beers !?!?!?

I have found that certain music stands (the kind with a plate for the sheet music) the plate can usually be angled so that it forms a nice little table, perfect for beverages and other odds and ends.

RedVee,you don't have to''lug''anything''but I've seen times when accidents happen because someone didn't use something other than their amp head. It is a sad site to behold,A milk crate,5 gallon bucket,anything but the amp.You won't believe how much smoke can come from a amp(plugged in). speaker cabs have a higher survival rate of course.But I dig the humor tho. PS-0f course you were kidding,right?

You won't destroy the table if you spill the beer.

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

Haha
This is not liquid, this is beer !
And I won't do it again, after playing 5minutes loud, there were no gas anymore in it That Rumble rumbles so much

See, I was just trying to protect your beer and everyone thought it was because spilling liquids in electronics can damage them.

This may sound stupid, but is there a difference? I'm a newbie to pairing amps..

Yes, just like you can't use a speaker cord as a guitar cord. Go to music shop and get a 3ft. speaker cord. I bought a Monster speaker cable and another at Sam Ash. Why two? One as a back up.

Not only is this correct, but it is also very important to understand fully & grasp heuristically.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming ...

Awesome song!

Look at that hair, that long beautiful hair ...

Linnin,

Damn, you got me!! I'm an old 61 year old rocker, loves Grand Funk, Steppenwolf, James Gang, etc........but this song brings back such great memories, it almost made me cry!!!!

Me too! I'm close I'm 58. I remember hearing that on WSAI here in Cincy. Great days and times!

Just for the record, when I play live music, my beer or water is usually on the floor. Last week one of the guys spilled his beer (not the first time for him). Fortunately, it was on the floor also. Sometimes, people will set their drink on my amp at a jam, and I remove it and hand it to them.

The flower girl is SMOKING-HOT! They should've name a song;The things I can do with you!

True story guitar palyer I played with used to always set his drink on his marshall vintage head. I warned him over and over. One night he spins around hits the beer with his head stock...................smoke, sparks and bye bye marshall.

It is the current being carried by the wire.
Here are links with details on both types of cables.

Great information, thanks.
Those 2 cable anatomy pictures should be printed on the packing of every cable.
Even if you don't know (or care about) all the theory, you can still clearly see there is a big difference.

While doing some research on speaker characteristics, I came across this nearly six year old post by a well respected engineer and designer. This is still very true today and is probably the main reason that Fender doesn't publish specs on their speakers, and why you should 'never shop by numbers'.

It boils down to honesty in advertising. For example, specs of 'Frequency +/- 3db 45-18K Hz Sensitivity 1W/1M 98 db' for a 1x12/tweeter are impossible to attain, but there it is, in print on the website of a well respected manufacturer. A perusal of said manufacturer's specs for every speaker they make reveals all of them to be fairy tales. And this manufacturer's deception, be it calculated or otherwise, is not the exception, it's the rule.

When I bought the Rumble 100 in last November I couldn't believe how great that little guy was. Perfect for smaller gigs and practices. Awesome tone.
I just picked up the 500 2x10 combo and the Rumble V3 115. I needed something modular and these fit the bill perfectly.
One little thing that bothers me and I was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing.
Every picture I've seen of the V3 115 has the same appointments as all the Rumble amps / cabs. That thin cheap covering, flimsy grill badge and recessed side handles.
My 115 looks just like the Neo 115 with the exception of the recessed handles and rear port set-up. It has better tolex, better feeling grill and Silver Face badge.
Plus it's 52lbs like the NEO 115 Cab and the same has the Neo dimensions. It was priced like a Rumble but looks like a Neo.

What's going on here ?

 

[DerekW]

Dimensions?

In all likelihood, I will be joining you guys today! I got some retro pay yesterday for comp time I couldn't take, and someone local has offered me pretty close to what I wanted out of the BG250. And the best part is that my girlfriend wants to go to the music store with me.

All in all, I'd say it's a fair start to the weekend.
