Found a better pic of the ~ 170 shots that shows just how tiny a Phil Jones Suitcase Compact is. (Judging from the weight, it may have Peavey DNA 
)

The pics turned out really great!

Well, you look simply lovely, Ms. M! The soulful blues expressions strike just the right notes, IMHO. And the Chowny, the Hazy and PJB add very interesting touches, too.
But, ... mmm, ... [passiveagressive] does the photog really think those bright glares on Solstice Eve look good? For a moment I thought that last one was a white pickguard! But, I imagine that curved surface is difficult to light correctly.[/passiveagressive]
Very nice, though! Very nice, indeed. (sigh) Would that I could get pro pics made without incurring camera repairs.

I love your bass!!!!!!

Personally, I think this your best pic. Like what was already mentioned, it’s super soulful and shows off your gear really well. (Still would’ve loved to have seen your wedge-shaped 20-watt beast)
Thanks for sharing the pics with your club buddies. Deep down, we all probably wish we could get a few glamour shots of our own to have for posterity.
Hmm...I’ve got an idea for a new business establishment at the club. Anyone up for a bass player’s photo studio? Ya have to have some experience, so sign up with caution.
Great job, M!

muy merci-danke all
It looks like work now. As in rebuild the Website I tore down because it no longer serves. Get myself out there and seen and heard again.
Absolutely right, now that I see it, the BA-108v2 would have made as good as or better a prop as the Phil Jones. In it's wedge position it would look to all the world like a stage monitor. Seems to me that here in these modern now-a-go-go days every bass amp is a monitor.

There are Irish TBers who play Phil Jones, one's in Sligo and can't recall his avatar name off the top of my head. I bought mine in the Colonies and took with to Ireland, and now we're all over but in the same place again.
Personally rather fond of Italy, having called Milan home for a while. I believe by the book I',m supposed to be in Italy for a few weeks every year but that's apparently waived for me for a bit. I always feel good when I am in Italy. Best. Coffee. Ever.

Looks terrific, Moe. I don’t care what anyone else says, Ampeg is THE classic look for bass on and off the stage. To me, it says “I am ready to rock!”
Glad it’s working for ya.
I’m Rocking 2 Rumble 100 combos. 
One for rehearsal, one for home/gigs.
Occasionally I daisy chain the 2 together:
I’ve been exploring other amp options. Looking at other brands and sizes, but I can’t deny the cost and convenience of the combo life!

That is a spectacularly-looking rig, al’80! 200-watt, 2 12s, and a lot of bottom. Very nice. Dumb question, but does the upper combo sit safely on the lower one? Just curious.
Answering for myself, the R200c sits atop the R112 on about 1/2 the Ampwedgetm with no problems. I wouldn't wanna try it on the pitching deck of a destroyer, but otherwise....
Yes sir! I use this setup for rock, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, soul... the simplicity of the combo in general, the Rumble specifically and the P bass allows me to just plug in and play!A P bass and a Rumble stack. You've got your bases covered.
I’ve used it for 3 gigs so far, and no signs of lateral movement. The rubber feet sit just inside the metal corner brackets. I suppose I could always add circular recessed brackets if I wanna be extra sure, like these:
Side note: I used this rig for an outdoor gig with my blues band, drum set and electric guitar. Smallish lawn with no PA support. Sounded great, and the sound guy went out of his way to tell me how good it sounded. (He’s also a bass player, who uses a GK head/Mark cab rig

Thank you for your response, alanloomis1980. I also appreciate the reminder pic of the 210's recessed cups. They worked very well. To me, anytime a fellow bass player has nothing but praise for your sound you can take that to the bank, especially when his rig is most likely a lot more expensive than yours. Two 100s...cool!
