The Combo Club

[iagtrplyr]

How was the gig @iagtrplyr ?!

Great fun, Michael, thanks for asking. The worst part was it was only an hour long. It’s that world a musician goes off to where you forget about all your troubles and concerns. Children aren’t even that bad in this little world! I’m gonna try and get back to it as soon as I can.

Hey, when you know you are selling batteries that are supposed to last for a year, and they don't...what do you do? Well, the board met and said, "Let's start a Battery of the Month Club to hide the crap we are selling". The board agreed and the "Battery of the Month Club" was born. What could go wrong?

Your cynicism is only superseded by your boyish charm and good looks!

Binge watching White Christmas! Danny Kaye was a gem!

"The Theata...the theata!" That was my least favorite part of WC, but pretty much everything else rocked my world as a kid. Bing's cool slang throughout the movie is hilarious now. We watched Charlie Brown and Rudolph for the first time in years. No kids around too.

Greetings and Merry Christmas to all! New amp day - Ampeg RB 112. Would love to join the club!View attachment 4517260

CW, you are most welcome to join the Comboites here at the CC. Welcome and sorry for the delay. I'm currently out on a secret mission trying to determine which of my peers in this here club has what it takes to replace me, Fearless Leader in 2022. Never mind that, let's talk about your combo.

First, your pic is an award winner. Second, your choice of a combo is first-rate. Third, what a fantastic Christmas present one could receive. You, my Ampeg buddy, are member #270. What a wonderful number to present because that means I'm now down to 30 new members before the coronation. Let us know what you think of it but save the serious reviews for a couple of weeks and some higher volumes through it so as to break in the speaker a bit. Again, congratulations and welcome aboard!

That's why, when using my imagination, you're perfect.

Remember, SR...

My Rumble 100 arrived today. Thanks to TB and The Rumble Tone Pool I have so many suggested tones to choose from. Combo is so lightweight at 23.3 lbs and powerful. Its the perfect match with G&L SB-2.

Congratulations, JPS, you are officially the 269th member of the Combo Club. Yes, people, I held the number up for him being I thought he'd already posted a pic, but only to find out his new combo was arriving shortly. So he's 269 and Chicken Wing is 270. Very cool.

Also, don't forget to sign up at the Rumble Club if you haven't yet. They're a great group of fellas and as you know, there are tones abounding for your to try out at your leisure. Enjoy!

All caught up with your posts; it was quite a week here. Two new members, some old friends dropping by with new gear, and a partridge in a pear tree. any gigging going on for NYE? GP, you gonna be out there laying down the boogie? Speaking of boogie, Biggie, give us an update on the new band(s). How are things going? That goes for anyone else who's looking at getting back to live gigs in '22.

Ah, '22. I'd be a liar if I wasn't excited about this coming year, and I don't care how many days swink says it is on his calendar, it's gonna be one worth remembering. Make sure you chime in before midnight your time to wish everyone a happy one. I promise to post the latest membership list so we can begin the new year together.

Have a great rest of the week, ladies and gents!

Thanks for all that...now get back to practicing with your basses and Tele.

I am sure many of us in the CC want to hear what Iowa Guitar Player, @iagtrplyr, sounds like on a Telecaster guitar .

 

[G-Dog]

Wow super fast and helpful responses! Thank you ladies and gentlemen!

I do already have a combo (EBS Drome 15) and pseudo combo (Bergantino HT112 + GB shuttle attracted), and will now welcome junior to the amp family.

Greetings, MUA! I know it's been almost a week now, but since you posted several gorgeous pictures of your various setups, and all with a combo too, the very least I can do is ask you if you'd like to join our cavern of combo cutups who appreciate the effort you put into your gear. Let me know and I'll try to be quicker getting you a membership number than I was responding to this post. We hope you join us. Thanks!

Fearless Leader

I'd love that! Count me in!
I still haven't found my micro combo, but am happily comboing away with the bigger versions!

You got it! I hereby recognize MrUsefulAlien as member #269. Wear it with pride, my friend, and don’t forget to add it to your signature. Our members are our best source of club advertising. Thanks for jumping on!

After a long wait and saving, we finally have a pair of #269s.
To keep things easy, I propose to make them #269A and #269B.

Here's my 60s column, swinky. I think there may have been someone originally at 269 but I vaporized them with my Gamma Ray gun.

261) FalloutNo1
262) Darrell Vachon
263) ToddOfThunder
264) Ampslut
265) MikeSpector
266) outoftune
267) Luftkopf
268) KaiTheShisno
269) John Paul S

We always watch Charlie Brown movies at their correlated holidays; my wife loves them (and I still like them). Now we've started watching them with our Alaska-based daughter and her kids through the magic of Facebook Messenger and iPad.

It's right there in your avatar photo. I gotta confess we've been calling you Tort Face for some time.

I take it the First Rule of Combo Club is: you talk about Combo Club .

Yes, we have a very good paying NYE gig-assuming it doesn't get 86ed for C-19 like last year's did. Also very easy. We'll be splitting the music duties with a DJ and get to pack up and leave at 11. Weird, but that's what they want.

Oh wow, you guys have the stamina to stay up until midnight! Oh wait, that's another thread

Yes, but it fits us perfectly.

We are on an Xmas trip to the big city to drop off my partner's father. I noticed a used Traynor combo for sale at a shop close to the hotel. I'm going to check it out. They also have a Ric, so it should be fun. Might have a new old combo following me home ...

That one got shut down pretty quickly.
