The Combo Club

[Doctor Intrepid]

Sorry @EssEll that I had to take off last night (my time is South Aust) as Australia is dealing with the most extreme bushfires and I had a fire burning over the hill behind us so I had to run...I'm glad you took my advise to hang around...I see that you have had a lot of responses that I expected you would receive, so thats great and you are amongst a great group of Combo owners with heaps of info in the forum itself, as well as written Wiki notes that one of our members G-Dog (Doggy to everyone) has compiled, so have fun within the club, hopefully cope with our humour as well and enjoy the in-depth discussions regarding all types of Combo amps. Any questions..just ask. You are among a wealth of knowledge.
To all those who wished us well in our fire engulfed State..thanks all..things are quiet again for now but with a top temp of 44C today fire authorities expect things to flare up so they are putting out the call to leave our homes now while we can ifg in a fire risk area...which luckily our home is not. Its not that bad so far in my State but anything is possible today...its only 8.30am and temp. is building to that expected 44C. So thanks all for your concern..as usual if I disappear its likely a power cut due to heat or fire prevention. Anyway i'm here for the time being lol.
Enjoy your experiences with the Combo Club EssEll.

It was the top story on the national news here in Canada. Stay safe!

My inspiration right here, this guy. In five years I'm moving to Florida, buying the latest in Hawaiian shirts, hauling my hollow-body bass and Rumble 100 down (selling everything else so I can afford the shirts), finding a town with old people living in venues that need the spirit of music, finding others with same idea, and rocking out (at reduced volume) on New Year's Eve, not once mind you, but twice! This man, GP, is living the dream and I only hope I can snag a few starry crumbs of it for myself. Of course, having his talent and experience wouldn't hurt...

Here's my official pre-retirement launch as of Christmas Day 2019. I know it's not a bass, stop your pickiness:

Cheers Doc..it seems the tragedy of Australia burning is making world headlines..not a nice way to become famous when fires burn all the way down to the beach as hundreds of people shelter in the sea to escape death.
Our Prime Minister has sent in the Army and Navy to rescue NSW and Victorians affected.

Unless I'm mistaken, that is Mr. Chown himself.

One of the annoyances of this whole time-space thing is the amount of energy it takes to get folks from all over the planet together for a bit in the physical. Fun that it might be. One of the benefits of this whole time-space physical reality thing is it's a great place to make a lot of noise with a bass.

Still trying to figure out how to use two pickups!

So you are calling me loony?

My understanding is "northerners" who move to Florida are issued a white belt and white shoes?
:: runs, ducks, covers ::

And you’re problem with that???

There’s our baby! Nylon, please give your two cents after you’ve had some playing time with it. Also, if you're new to Rumbles, it’s no only okay, it’s highly recommended to twirl the tone knobs. She’s bottom heavy flat and many of us lighten it up plenty. You’ll find your sweet spot. Congrats!

Didn't Cousin Eddie gift Clark Griswold with a pair of white shoes?

Can’t help it, this forum stirs the cockles deep in my soul! How’s that, Giff? Okay, back to business...

i’d be willing to have a cookout and host it at my house....and now I’m just picturing a wall of bass combos vibrating the entire neighborhood...

minronnee, I’m not around the computer but are you a club member? The name sounds familiar but if you’re not you’ve already met our criteria, plus you sound like a nice person! Let me know and I’ll hook ya up with a number. Great pics of the kids too!
