At least we bounced back from about page 5 to where we belong on page 1 loll
Since it’s quiet, might be a good time to offer up for your combo consideration, some thing I found at my local pawn shop.
It was/is unbelievably heavy... but something tells me it’d sound awesome. No danger of my wanting to own it with my somewhat generous current amp cache.
But fun to ponder, so...

Well, it's not a single gig report, more of a combo status report, so here goes.
Some of you may, or may not, remember my report a few weeks ago of moving my Bassman 150 combo from its dusty corner of my Music Room to the church for my regular Sunday morning gigs.
It's worked out very well, and it's been great to hear the old workhorse again. 
How convenient to just carry my bass and gig bag to services! And I agree wholeheartedly with the praises heaped on the kickback combo designs. All this contributed greatly toward a last-minute gig at the church this past Sunday night, and another gig there last night.
As I said before, I could not, and would not, leave my Rumble Studio 40 anywhere unaccompanied. I use it much too often at too many different places to leave it at even a regular venue. Plus, it's just too easily moved, might walk itself off somewhere. The Bassman has much more inertia, so it's found a good home. It also has plenty of bells and whistles and it's easy to dial in some very tasty tones. It's good to have multiple tools for multiple purposes! So, fellow Comboites, . . .
That is all. Over and out.

Good archeology.
Somebody bought it, multiple somebodies, but with reviews like that ....
Interestingly that 150 Bassman of yours G Doggy weighs about the same as my 75 Rumble of half it's power for the same weight. Approx 45-46 lbs.

Yeah, Giffy, and IIRC they both have 12" speakers, so it's no surprise they have very similar cabinetry and weight. I did get a lot of astonished looks when I used to crank it and get a great deal of good, clean volume out of it, more than expected for it's size. I had certainly rather paid the price of the Rumble at the time, but twice the power and lots more bells and whistles won me over. I've never been disappointed. In fact, it led me to get the 250 with 115 and chain them together, more often than not. The two together just kinda coasted thru gigs then.

Good evening. My busy week climaxed with our two music programs this afternoon and this evening. My role was purely teacher tonight, and I gotta admit, I’m pooped. No rest for the wicked as our holiday trio meets at 7:15 tomorrow morning. It’s all good though.
Some good posts after GP woke ya all up and I plan on making a few comments.
If ya got some bass playing in today, good for you. I snuck some time in the past two nights because you can never perfect Winter Wonderland enough!
Have a great Friday, everyone!
Ghost! So nice to see ya on the board again. It’s been too long. Wow, I didn’t know Roland made a combo that large. Being the power ratings are historically low, I’ll wager that gigantic Bass amp kicks out a watt for every pound. Am I right?
Sitting in a practice room and not needing to be moved, it would serve as a terrific voice for a good bass.
He saw a ghost..where..where..eeekkk
Ohh GhostyInTheMach..phewwwwww
Certainly is El..and a big Rollicking Royally heavy Roland too loll
