Sharon picked the day because it was my birthday. But we certainly didn’t complain about the orbital tilt benefits!Why Miles? I think of it as a brilliant move for the couple who wishes to enjoy the longest night of the year together!![]()

I can’t hear a thing. Almost like there’s no audio in those photos.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.
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.

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.
Remember folks, 300 new members or the end of May '22. At this rate, it may be a tie either way!
Even Your Gamma Ray Gun is against Your abdication.I think there may have been someone originally at 269 but I vaporized them with my Gamma Ray gun

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.
If that's not a coincidence...I’m a fork-tongued, two-faced traitor of the realm.
Hey there, Low E! Drop us a pic and I will proudly add your cool moniker to our list of famous bass players who rock combos. We'd love to have you along for the ride.![]()
My vote is for @swink ! Isn’t he the front runner?!?! (Rumor has it we are never gonna let you leave FL!!!!)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!![]()
@SoulReflection would be a great FL! (If @swink refuses and you somehow escape our grasp!)Force of habit, Michael. He has to deal with me all week emailing him my usual manifestos so it's made him keep that sharp concise edge needed to survive. He's a winner and has my respect!
Then my two votes go to............... TL (Who's TL?)My vote is for @swink ! Isn’t he the front runner?!?! (Rumor has it we are never gonna let you leave TL!!!!)
and voting backwards does not work....Lol I said TL instead of FL! My apologies!![]()

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.
