I'm not at the show this year, but I'll see if I can get one of "my people" to give them a whirl.

I still don't want to be the butt model for the Elf.

So, there I was, making the "Wile E. Coyote/ Acme" reference and I thought, "hmm, let's google Acme Bass Amp": Acme 2x10 bass cab.<addendum> After more research, they have quite a line of cabs-no combos-
-but would make interesting extensions. There's also a 2x12.View attachment 3297587

Looks to my eye Acme cabs borrowed their slogan from Packard?
There's an obscure reference.[I don't think Packard's gonna complain] Cool!
I gotta get one of these.

I've already thought of a half-dozen witty comebacks, but between "Mee Too," "Time's Up," and the morals clause in my teaching contract, I am unable to comment on this plump reply from our lady bassist.

Okay, peeps here's not only one, but two entries from the FL household. #2 thought it sounded like fun (she's an artist and always feels that way about such shenanigans) so here ya go.
The first pic has been an itch I've wanted to scratch since the 800 showed up. Not the most visually-pleasing look (I know, a matching Fender 2 X 10 cab would look much better), but the fact I'm actually afraid to turn it on and play through it should say something! BTW, the purple panther is my university mascot that's sat on the bed since 1985. Yeah, I don't like change unl
ess it's a new amp.
The second pic is the beloved Rumble 100 adorned with a Valentine teddy and other sweet nothings. Of course, this caused a furor in the closet where a certain Markbass Micromark 801 complained it didn't get its publicity time.
Who's next?

Not a stuffed one, but my new dog, Ginger w/ my little practice combo. We've had Ginger just about a week now and she's fitting in well around here. Please pardon our messy practice space.
Yea, Goner!?! Stobit! U makn' us regler shmos lok dum
This seems to go together.
BTW, the "little jewel" performed quite well at today's bluegrass jam with up to 14-16 other musicians. One of the early guitarists told me, "You wouldn't have to mess with all them wires if you had an upright bass."
LOTS of fiddles, a few guitars, a few mandolins and one banjo. I kept the tone very clean and full without boominess, and the volume fairly low. My favorite fiddler/guitarist wasn't there today, so it was up to me(!) to try to keep this herd of catgut scratchers in time!! That early guitarist seemed to know more of the songs than me and he played loud, so I mostly followed him. After it was over he shook my hand and said, "You play good. Thanks for coming." Ah, vindication!
The 800 looks great, but I'm imposing a moratorium on myself for all things amp for a bit.

"Back in the day" an engineer whose workplace nickname is Danger places a Buddha figurine on a fileserver. And insofar as my awareness holds, the fileserver runs flawlessly for all its days. Over here in another part of the office is a Pink Bunny. We notice wherever the pink bunny takes residence, pregnancy follows.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc: a pink bunny Buddha on your combo amp ensures faultless operation as a new combo amp comes into your care and keeping, as if by magic.

Hello, @gary mitchell. You're a man of few words. Thanks for sharing, both now and back in October. Very nice combos and beautiful basses.
We'd be pleased to have you join us, friend. Just say the word.

Is that a poplar body on the P knockoff? Looks great.
