The Combo Club

[GwenOnBass]

There certainly was a time when people watched the 11 o'clock news. Or was it 10 o'clock? What time did Johnny Carson begin? That was 11, right? ... because I can walk to NBC studios from my house and one night he cracks another joke about old people in Burbank
And This Is Not Funny At All because I am 25

That Peavey combo of mine has a view of The Burbank Studios backlot
Yeah I know

 

[GonePlaid]

This is the set up. The guy on the left wasn't there last night(outta town). I don't do shorts. This was a summer gig. Felt like playing the EB-0 that night. So I did. EDIT: That's my PA(JBL EON One)to my left. Covers the room nicely.

 

[swink]

PA(JBL

is that the new spelling for payable?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Well, this morning one of our guitarists told me to bring my bass to practice on Sunday mornings, to play along when I’m not on sound, and get the experience up. I reckon I’ll be doing that soon.

Woohoo! There ya go!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

A combo covered with Kzin fur instead of rat fur is very interesting to me.

You'd have to out-bad Shaft to pull that off!

Saxophone is my bass gateway drug.

Also legit.

Well ya can’t just leave us hanging like that M. Why would a gorgeous island like that be abandoned since 1965?

I’ve known my whole life my grandparents on my dads side came from Sicily in 1906. My grandfather on my moms side got here in 1622.

But through ancestry.com I learned in the past several years that my great grandma on my moms side came from the Galway region of Ireland. In my DNA I have 23% Irish. 5% Scottish. And 16% England and Northwestern Europe. So I have a bunch of Irish DNA in me and I think that’s cool. Sounds like you and FL2 know Ireland well.
My brother who spent a career in the navy on subs said Scotland was the prettiest country he ever saw.
Is Galway a cool place to be from? Would love to visit someday myself but probably will never get there.
But! But. If I do travel there I know my new combo acquisition PJB double 4 will fit in my suitcase!

I know a lot about Ireland but have only spent a couple of weeks there so far, and 3-4 weeks total in Scotland. My heritage is Scot-Irish with some English and German. But I've been interested in Ireland most of my life. I was a teenager when I found out about the Troubles. I grew up Lutheran and my best friend at the time was an Irish Catholic. We realized that if we lived in Ireland, we couldn't be friends, at least not publicly.
I could live in Scotland or Ireland, no problem.

A band that can play the national anthem is a band that can quell a fight in a pub. It's important to know which national anthem

The wrong national anthem can also quell a pub fight, when both sides join to toss the band out into the street, then hoist a pint together. Not recommended, but mission still accomplished. Just with more collateral damage.

I bought the 210 cab cause it matched. The 410 was the same price. Until a week after I bought it, went from $500 to $600. Any case I'm one happy bassist !!!

You are set!

 

[Griendrr]

You are set!

Then two weeks later I found and bought a used V3 800 head, and used V3 410 cab. I paid a little over half what they'd cost new, my first rumble was a used V3 100 combo, just a few weeks before. Obviously lost my mind but I feel very content when I go downstairs and decide how I'll configure then this time. One of my craziest sprees. I have no regrets. Maybe someday soon I'll have a chance where I NEED the 800 head and two cabs, maybe not. I feel like I'm setting myself up for success. If it doesn't happen I'll still be happy with this stuff. I'm very happy I discovered the rumble series, I'm really happy with how simple it is to dial in and what it sounds like. Last night I plugged my Squire SS Jaguar abs the tones and harmonics sounded like angels from the heavens.

Then my son asked me to turn down

 

[G-Dog]

... ... Then my son asked me to turn down

Now, there's a switch! I asked my kids to turn things down lotsa times, but they never asked me!

Hey, Grinder, if you'd like to join this merry band of combo players just say so. I think you'd enjoy it!

Thanks for catching that, G-Dog! I'm so use to seeing Griendrr's smiling face in Rumble Club, I forgot he wasn't a member here! And we already have a pic of one the combos, so just say the word, Griendrr, and the next available membership will be embossed with your name.

Only one safer is me. No one else stepped up for FL position, so no one must want it. Unless they feel the need to gain by combat. Duel by tossing combos at each other. I am so going to win that one.

Not that I would want the title of FL, but if I was higher and dropped the Kasino on yer head...

Pretty big if. My whole thing is I have combos that are heavy enough to do real damage but light enough I can chunk 'em!

But you post a video of you lifting that Kasino to chest height unaided and I'll ... I dunno, something cool, anyway.

Nah, I'd need a roadie-or 2-for that.

Did you see Ashdown is coming out with an 8 x 10 combo? Supposedly it is only 60 lbs, which is still a fair amount.

 

[roccobass]

Forgot to mention. I created my mini combo stack last month. Bought from GC this 2x8 Trace Elliott ELF cab to go with my 2x6 Minimark. Sounds cool at 250 watts and still easy to tote.
