The Combo Club

... ... Another 7:15 AM rehearsal this morn, this time on our stage. Boy, does that make your amp look and feel tiny! The 100 sounded real good but only for stage volume. DI is a must for the gym, but I got a nice Rumbling tone running tone controls flat (a rarity) and the boost at 9:00. Volume was around 1:00, I think.

Ran with the Jazz bass today too. Not as warm as the hollow-body, but better lower-bass authority. Great combination. “Up on the Housetop” never sounded better! ... ...


Nice rehearsal report, mild mannered Mikey (in your secret identity ;)). Great of you to go the extra mile for your kids, to give 'em some Christmas cheer! Dutifully practicing and schlepping all that gear around, then to suffer the ignominy of performing on stage, like a wind-up toy! Why, the lengths our educators must go to for our children is unbelievable!! It is very heartening to know you are there for them (and us). :thumbsup:

... ... Speaking of combos, yes G’Dog, guilty as charged concerning that avatar.” I just tend to run where my heart tells me and I was feeling Superbeetle. What if I told you I glued the head on top of the cab? ... ...


Well, certainly no one can fault the creative personality for it's reveries! I agree with beni hendrix's recognition of "executive privilege" there. But, um, ... er ... I believe the exception made was due to being permanently connected by the manufacturer. So, I don't think an after-market gluing quite fits the spirit of the ruling.

... ... I didn’t think so. In order to make restitution, I hereby promise to promote combo’s the entire weekend. It’s the least I can do. Plus, if I don’t do something a little wacky every now and then you’ll never do your Russian accent for your mates!

With all this Slobovian conversation, both Upper and Lower, I may have to head to YT and watch some Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Metal Munching Moon Mice is a good name for a band. They may have won? Not seen any television antennas in a long time.
