The Combo Club

Phil Jones Double Four checking in. Once upon a time I had a Crate BX-50

I love this little Phil Jones, though. It also serves double duty as my synth rig's sound system when jamming on synth hardware (via the aux input).

That pair of 4" speakers with 70W behind them manages to vibrate the walls anyway XD

Howdy, and welcome! I've been seeing quite a few posts about the PJs lately. I need to look into those.

How does it compare to whatever else you have played through?

Let me know if you'd like a Combo Club number.
 
After spending pert near 20 min scrolling through pages of posts, I have figured out what happened and am now on bended knee begging G’Dog for forgiveness and the opportunity to kiss his CC ring.

Our friend, Mr Alien, requested not to be given a number until he had a new combo and like a dope I did just that. Yes, his EBS qualified him did membership and so my original decision to give the guy 269 was correct, and my taking him off the roll was wrong. I now see the error of my ways and am sorry.

So today I will reinstall Alien Guy and give him #272. He did display a combo with a pic and was interested in joining. Good enough for me and hopefully everyone else.

Now you may be wondering, “Is all this worth it?” I thought so a few years ago when this club was close to falling off the cliff of irrelevance, but now less so. For me, it’s become work I don’t need, especially in the co big year. I have going on and have made too many corrections this past year, meaning I’m just not able to focus on the job like I used to do.

With that, I’m stepping down at midnight tonight. I’ll post one more list with Alien aboard and then someone can do what I did back in 2028, I believe, run the club. I’ll still jump on like normal, but G’Dog’s post convinced me my reign is over. It’s been fun as heck but it’s tine for a new leader, Fearless or not.

Let me know who’s like to tackle the job. I’m down to 14 hrs...:)
 
Happy New Year, Combo Club!

Here is my 1st combo. I woke up Christmas morning in 1984 and it was under the tree. it's 37 years old now and I still use it occasionally.

That is sooo cool- almost wish I still had my Sears Jazz bass from Xmas 1979. But I’m ok with not having it :woot:..

Now for that green burst Höfner Club Bass…:bassist:
 
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.
It didn't get 86ed; it was weird; 250 reservations, maybe 115 showed up. Lotta people left after the meal. Other parties? Go home and watch the ball drop? ??? DJ was :meh:. Almost made it home(after packing up)by midnight. Had a drink, petted the cat(freaked out by fireworks), went to bed. Been fighting a cold or something.

Glad you had a go at it but, now, go get tested for that "cold or something". We need more of your posts to give us GOF's something to wish we could be doing ;).

Trust it's just a cold.
So get tested. Nobody wants Something. I know this.
