The Combo Club

As you might've guessed (or cared to guess) winter vacation has begun for me and I wanted to share some pics of our 'lil show on Tuesday. Great fun as always and I couldn't have been happier with my tone. Did the exact same gig two years ago with the Rumble 100 and was buried in the mix. Yep, the setup was pert-near the same with side-fill monitors and all.

While I totally agree with the consensus that it's purely subjective if you like more midrange then you'll like the Ampeg better. If you tend to like that traditional, full bass and scooped mids sound, you'll choose the Fender. I also agree, either one played by someone who has a decent ear and a little rhythm can coax wonderful tones out.
I can’t hear a thing. Almost like there’s no audio in those photos.
 
RS was such a crap shoot, and quality varied over time for different types of products. Wire might be good but soldering irons crap, with positions swapped 5 years later.

My pet peeve was walking into an RS and being stopped by a junior trainee asking what I was looking for. When I told them, they would ask, "What are you using that for?". I am not going to tell them my life history just to find out where the part was that I knew I needed. I eventually learned say "Just looking around". It was less aggravating to just find it myself and hope the cashier didn't ask me the same question.
 
Actually, it is me being married to a Brit. When she wants to tell me a short story, I sit down because I know its going to take awhile ;).

Hey there, SR! Haven’t heard from ya today and hoped everything was fine. I jotted you note either last night or this morning, who knows? Let me know if ya got it.
 
Even Your Gamma Ray Gun is against Your abdication.:facepalm:

Oh, you quick-thinking, smooth-talking musician, you. Ask he how much bass I’ll be playing the next two weeks? Zero. It’s all guitar, baby. I don’t deserve the job because I’m a fork-tongued, two-faced traitor of the realm. Sounds like another song there. One of my many nass brothas (or sista) would be way more deserving than me, a wolf in sheep’s clothing! :rolleyes:
 
Said like a true statesman, Michael. I may have to put you on my shortlist as the heir apparent to the throne I currently sit on. Remember folks, 300 new members or the end of May '22. At this rate, it may be a tie either way! We need someone who speaks down the middle; not an idiot as biased as I am. Keep up the positive thoughts, MF! :hyper:
My vote is for @swink ! Isn’t he the front runner?!?! (Rumor has it we are never gonna let you leave FL!!!!)

Thx. But it’ll have to be after the holidays. We temporarily moved all the amps up to the attic to make room for the tree and decorations.

40, you don't need to do a darn thing, it's all me at this point. You've already met our criteria of a pic and now all you have to do is tell me you'll take a number. No fuss, no muss. It's a really cool number too!
