The Combo Club

Attention Combo Club Members! Attention Combo Club Members!

IT will be here on Monday coming in on the Amazon Express. IT weighs 39 lbs soaking wet. IT is black. IT has a bunch of cool features to keep me busy throughout the winter. IT is made by a very large musical instrument corporation. IT will be used for recording (my maiden voyage) and will be played loud when Fearless Leader's better half is away. Question: What is IT? Winning answers get one of these bad boys :hyper: Good luck!
 
I hope so! You're already onto the DIY pre for your AUB, so you are 1/3 there! 2 x 8 might be fun ;)

I'm thinking more like a 6.5"/3", or possibly an 8" coax. 2X8 won't really be appreciably smaller than what I already have. But I'm still hoping to find an off the shelf solution for this one. I'll bite the bullet and hit GC and a few local stores in the next few weeks and see what shakes out.

At 39 lbs it must surely be a Rumble Stage 800.

I agree! Sounds exactly like Rumble Stage 800 to me, too!!

Fearless Leader is taunting me, his most loyal of comrades! He know I covet Rumble Studio 40, so he get biggest and best Rumble Stage 800, which is most fitting for His Excellency. It even come with most helpful and cool 4-button footswitch, included, for tuner and quick settings changes.

Fearless Leader truly has good taste in combos!

May I suggest NOT getting it 'soaking wet'?
 
This is why the Loaner Room of the Combo Club Clubhouse can't have nice things.

I did it for you, 'Dog. You've been mentioning the Stu-Stu-Stu-Studio (Phil Collins reference) for a while now and I thought I'd honor your influence in my decision. Also, I figured you guys would take my secret decoder ring away if I didn't do something spectacular after the abominable snowman routine with my Acoustic combo, which by the way, you people have been incredibly nice to me about, not reminding me with large images of it so all could mock. Thanks, CC! The 800 will be here tomorrow. Pics @ eleven! :hyper::hyper::hyper:

Double wow! Hit me with both barrels and right before the year end too. Get it out Dog, you'll feel better! I'll admit I set myself up after I posted the pic. I like to think of it as a living reminder to the young bass players out there not to mix tolex with cornstarch. Learn from your elders, please.

I wonder if this is how Ceasar felt after Brutus stuck the blade in??? ;)
 
And a story so old it's got hair on it

It's New Year's Eve and a bongo player, accordion player and banjo player are doing the gig. When the night's done, the manager says hey you guys were great! Will you play here again next New Year's Eve?

They reply, sure, can we leave our stuff here?
