Oh, you’d definitely know it if you were “beinked” by 007. He still leaves marks, but I’d working on it.
Just got done working and walking away from Command Central for a bit. ‘Dog, be looking for a PM shortly.
I'm quite fond of Christina Hendricks myself.

I take it you are aware gingers aren't well liked everywhere in the world .... 
Was unaware, but then again, not surprised.
Never was taken with redheads until 40+ years ago I connected with the one I married. So far, so good! That Natasha, though ...
Oh, the Combo Club pining for everything red, and I’d like to join the chorus. My first crush was a beautiful ginger who, along with her dark-haired older sister, spent a couple of summers with her Grandma across the street where I lived.
It was unnerving, awkward, fun, exhilarating and ended with a kiss from her on my cheek that final summer. I was in seventh grade, if I remember, and as you can tell, I still remember.
Okay, what’s this for to do with combos? Maybe because with spring a musician’s fancy turns to a redhead...

Would that my PJB ring be in red! Mine is what came available when I was ready to buy, and never regretted the decision. The combo itself, minus the C4, took a longer residence on Achill Island than I could and right now nobody's going nowhere. Good daily practice time!
+1 Love my ginger wife as well!!! And she's Irish!!Love my ginger wife...
When Irish eyes are smiling....sure tis like the morn in spring!!
Happy to give shelter when I can.I take it you are aware gingers aren't well liked everywhere in the world ....

At risk of indelicacy imagine an Irish ginger and The Troubles - Wikipedia But is is Good Friday Agreement - Wikipedia so Peace.
"The Troubles". Sorta like "The Recent Unpleasantness" of ~1939-45 ?

As a natural strawberry blonde, these days turning up the gain for unity as I play my roots is normal.
This weekend, pay tribute to your natural strawberry blonde side and crank the gain to show off the Elfin magic. I read when gain is full up all kinds of interesting tones can be had.
Please report back as your thoughts may play a role in deciding a 110 TE combo for my future. Thanks!

The gain knob on the Elf is interesting to me because it functions in three stages. Low gain is clean, mid-high gain adds compression (an LED shows how much as you play), and full gain is distortion.
At the time the amplifier stork brought the Elf, only the BA-108v2 and PJB C4 were with me. With The BG-400 and C4 reunited as a proper couple, an arranged marriage for the Elf and a PJB Cab 27 was the result. My utterly uneducated guess is the Elf's capability as a 1x10 combo is roughly the equivalent of the 2x7 cab. Not going to do the maths or study excursion. Another PJB Cab 27 + the Elf would make for a complete second rig and that is not without attraction.
The PJB BG-400 combo is surprisingly heavy for its size. That's only one of its surprises. People who hear for the first time what comes out of such a small combo experience something of a head gonk. The Elf combo would produce pretty much the same reaction. The bonus of the Elf combo is it's even more portable than my Elf rig ....

You’re killing me with that rumination! I’m trying to unload gear, not just change one for another!
Did you misspell Elven or Effin'? 
Could work either way. 
It's gone again. UPS just told me to consider the B50R as lost. Said I should contact the shipper and have them file a claim. Boo.
