The Combo Club

I probably already posted this here, but I just love to show it off; when's the last time you saw one of these???

I used to own one of these as well; from the same era, but not as cool (no tubes, LOL)...

Love, love, LOVE, Those Bassman combos! :thumbsup:

Sure, I'll take a number.

The SWR ? Love it. Hasn't missed a beat, for over 12 years. Getting a bit heavy for my old bones, though. Going to upgrade to something lighter & more modular, this year.

You are member 279! Add that to your sig to make your combo feel loved. And we'd love to hear about your bass and combo journeys, and anything else you want to tell us about yourself (that doesn't violate TB rules or pertinent laws).

There are certainly plenty of good lightweight options out there!

I finally got to take my 25w Orange to church for a worship practice! In the end we didn't have any guitarists show up, so I still don't have my answer. It held up to a keyboard, a piano, a cajon, and five vocalists, with the volume at 1 o'clock, so it's got more to give when it gets a bit more competition. :D

I still want the 50 though, even if the 25 works perfectly well...

We have 2 of those in our rehearsal room. The lead guitarist uses one. I used to use the other but now prefer my Phil Jones C4 and Bugera Veyron for the tone in that room.
I do use a NUX solid studio inserted in the fx loop set to Bassman sim and U47 mic (it nicely warms/grunts up the class D power section).

Check this out guys :laugh::roflmao: didn't know people still use monster cabs :laugh:
Heavy Cabs...........
I keep this thing just in case I ever again need a big amp(yes, it's a "combo"). It's my practice amp since I seriously doubt it'll ever leave the house again. I s'pose I could sell it but I don't think I could get what I paid for it in 1970[$381.50].(Yes, I have the original BoS).

Supposedly Fender only made like 5 or 600 of them...

Hello and good night!

Well, before I shove off to sleep I thought I'd drop ya our latest recording since I feel more comfortable here than anywhere else. Maybe Soul Reflection will push me beyond, but I trust your guys' opinions. This may be my best recording/mixing attempt. It seems they get a little better each time. I'm not saying it's perfect or anything, but I really like #2's lead and harmony vocals on this one. Also, I'm playing bass and rhythm guitar as a second to the song's slight lead work. And yes, there's a combo in the room where I did all this work! Now whether it was used I cannot say, but no animals were harmed in the recording of this song...

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks, CC!
