John, you are now number 303. The number fits nicely into your TB signature. Nice rig; want to tell us a bit about your bass, combo, and musical journeys? Anything else?
Oh, and there's a wiki , which I forgot to mention to @hideawayblues . And notes on club membership.

Congratulations! And welcome to the CC.

So that's where you've been.
Yup, and hiding out in a new band, a band with no name, no less...
No kidding : )
Brought a stack today since the combo they provided me was maxed out last time we played, but cool little combo, Fender 200w 115 hiding under it's cover to the right of the drums.
Awful quiet here in the cc lately?
I s'pose for some folks gigging season is tapering down. Ours is s'posed to be picking up.
Maybe.

I started a band called 999 Megabytes, but we still don't have a gig.
Ah, Pontiac! That Rumble 200 is just 140W thru a single 15" alone. It needs an 8 ohm cab to reach its 200W nameplate power. Might try one of your stacks's cabs with it and see if that doesn't help.

Great thinking : )
Will have to try that!
Oy!
Our seasons always remains the same: sparse...
[bada bomp] Hey, we'll be here all week! Don't forget to tip your waitress!
But seriously, folks...
I am using a Line 6 Lowdown 110 for the small restaurant gig I do once a week and I am no longer happy with the sound from its 10" speaker. I do love the sound from the 12" speaker on my Line 6 Lowdown 150 at exactly the same settings, but it's too big for the stage space and overkill from a volume standpoint.
Any recommendations on a small solid state 12" combo? Weight is an issue. Anyone using the Hartke Kickback? The HD75? Etc. Etc.

I use a Rumble 40(10")or Rumble 100(12")for almost everything.
Looked at them. They do have a headphone out, line out and an aux in for practice, correct?
Yes. I had to go look as I don't use any except aux in for cd break music.
Is not having a band name unusual? Most bands I've played in didn't have names until we tried to book gigs, and sometimes not even then.
My favorite band name was Teenage Tragedy. It came from a misheard lyric in Blind Melon's No Rain.
I put together so many pickup bands over the years I started to call them all the Ad Hocs. Used the same business card etc.
There's been a very popular and busy oldies "band" in my hometown area for a few decades now, loosely made up of about a dozen, or several more, geezer musicians. Members come and go, or even die. So, you can never be sure which guys, or even how many of them, will show up for any specific gig. It can range from the full horn band to the power trio, or anything in between! Last I heard, they didn't require each other to sound "just like the record" (been there, tried to do that.
), just so long as the audience could recognize and enjoy the songs. .
