The Combo Club

Maggs! Great to hear from you, our British bassist. I’d enjoy plugging into a Fly Bass but haven’t found the opportunity as of yet. I once owned the Fly for guitar and thought it was decent for its intended purpose.

Say Maggsy, I’ve noticed the Bassman’s Pub is in need of some reordering for the holidays. Feel free to order your top choices for 2019 and hand the tab to someone in the central office. Thanks!
I’ll draw up a shopping list!
 
Just wrapped up jamming with my son-in-law this afternoon. He and his family were here over the holiday and for the past few years we've dedicated Black Friday for spending some time together and rocking out to: insert name here______ (as long as it’s mixed with letters and numbers like Three Doors Down, Avenged Sevenfold, etc).

I did sneak in some George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Queen, and Lipps, Inc’s Funky Town! Uhh...it’s for school. Uhh...the 4th graders requested it.

That is all.

Here’s to everyone jamming and/or gigging this weekend. Relax and let ‘er rip! :bassist:

Nice to see you again @Giffro! Welcome back!
 
Not doing much this weekend except practice, as I’m spending next weekend in the recording studio - looking forward to that!

And may we wish you the best with your studio work, Jakob. Could you let us novices in on what it’s like in the studio; how you prepare, what you plan on using, what you expect from your tone, etc?

Nothing fancy, but maybe our eyes and ears in the studio. Personally, We’d love to go along for the ride if you’re up for it. Your choice though. If you’re too busy don’t worry about it.

Imagine the difficulty of us none-native English speakers, who have to come to grips with the idioms of all the English-speaking nations in the world - and rhyming slang!
I've never seen English formulated so well before in a comprehensive intelligent sentence like Jakob just showed us then..pretty darn good my ol non-native English speaking cobber..lol

Or in other words in good Aussie-speak...I only wish we little Aussie battlers could nut out a rip snorter sentence like Jakob me cobber did. What a bottler!
here check out Aussie slang if anyone is confused..errr iagtrplyr lolll
Australian slang dictionary

I’d be happy to publish a little report when I get back from the recording sessions. I’ll even try to take a few pics.

Coolie doodles.

Is that ^ slang to anybody in any language?

... top paying gig + shorts = TB epic tale
they say in Hollywood if you look under the fake tinsel you'll find real tinsel
 
Don’t think so - there is something called collie doodles, though. It’s a cross between a collie and a poodle, I kid you not! :)

I dunno, it sounds Australian to me...

Thank you, Jakob, for accepting our offer. We promise to sit in the back and not say a word during your sessions except for maybe Gone Plaid and G’Dog. You know what it’s like when they’re together. Yap yap yap! ;)
