The Combo Club

I had looked a lot for a combo I thought I could use with guitar & bass & figured I'd need to go back to a head+cabinet setup, but Voila!
This little midget does both surprisingly well:


Yeh read of these adventures in the thread next door. It's a really interesting amp!
 
Sounds great at low volume and through headphones (trying not to bug the neighbors). I'll give a more detailed review of it's performance following my band's next rehearsal.

Welcome, Pookie. Make yourself at home here in The Clubhouse. Use this comm badge to identify yourself to the Clubhouse' automated services. Fearless Leader will be along soon to officially issue your membership number.

Now, its time to play!

Edit: Does this mean I get my club membership number now?

Absolutely! Sorry, I took so long getting to the club tonight. I actually had to go to work today and actually teach children stuff about solar energy and stuff. The best part of the day was one of my kiddos came in with a solar cooker he built over the week's "vacation" and even brought in hash browns in it to place in front of our window. Yeah...it didn't quite turn out as he hoped (still kinda cold and uncooked), but he headed home this afternoon looking to find a better place to cook his breakfast.

Oh, sorry PSPookie, I was having a flashback. You, my friend with the brand new Blackstar combo, are in like Flynn! In fact, you are #119, as of Groundhog's Day, 2019! You've met all your obligations, but it wouldn't be total CC if we didn't get a report on your findings after you've had some time to let 'er rip. I myself have been curious about this Blackstar line, their first bass combo series, and would love to know what you think. Tell us too what you've been using to help us form some contrast. Also, I'm a nosey bugger.

Welcome to the club, PSP! :hyper:

Welcome to the club, PSP! :hyper:

Thank you, kind sir, for the number and for teaching the wee-ones about science! Solar is a topic close to my heart as I'm an engineer in the power industry. Expect my full report late next week. I too am curious and hopeful to see how this shiny new bugger stacks up against my previous rigs (the list of previously owned gear in my profile is both complete and accurate).

I am totally AMPED to be a member of the Combo Club!
 
Feeling tremendous pressure from my club mates to show off my own cutie-patootie baby amp, ala Roxy Voxy, I unveil to you, for your humble approval, a pre-ordered Rumble LT25 combo. It should be here by St. Patty's Day if the luck of the Irish is with me. Perfect small room amp with what I'm expecting is a nice set of basic modeling capabilities without all the fancy extras found on its bigger brothas. I'm quietly excited as I complete Phase II (Phase I being the acquisition of one Stage 800) of "Fearless Leader's Plans on Taking Over the (Bass) World." Now onto Phase III!

Verrrry good, Fearless Leader! Is excellent judgement, as always, sir.

In fact, Your Excellency should not bother with the 800 anymore. Is old technology. Just put it out of your mind completely. Forget it ever was here. Think only of latest and greatest LT25 coming your way. That's it ... That's it . . . . I'll just move that heavy old 800 out of your way ... Yes, think of new amp coming . . . .

by St. Patrick's Day and the LT25 isn't green?



(someone else may be green)
I am resembling that remark! Play along and I share 800 with you, yes?

I’m on to you two and I must admit that...you are both...brilliant! Create a diversion, sneak into the target zone, make off with the targeted booty, and be sipping vodka martinis before dinner. Love it! I may have to look over your portfolios and consider a higher position for the two of you in our organization...

‘Dog, I’m once again doing your bidding of you by checking out Fender’s latest bass combo in the case you still desire a modeler down the road. If it sounds half as good as the Studio/Stage combos, then it’ll gr a heck of a deal for under two bones. Fender, take my money!

Keep up the great work, M and ‘Dog. New membership is up 46% in just the past month and I believe, besides my ruddy good looks minus the monocle, it’s mostly because of you two. You’re the bowels of the club in that you keep us running!:roflmao:
