The Combo Club

All those names were years away from debuting on the radio when I lived in a Chicago suburb in the sixties and listened to WLS and later, WCFL. Lessee, the Silver Dollar Survey, Clark Weber in the morning, Ron Riley either drivetime or evening shift and (before he was fired yet again) Dick Biondi, ”The Wild I-tralian!” Somewhere in the seventies rock radio went through big changes and WLS switched to a talk format. A college classmate of mine was the station manager and arranged to donate the record library to our alma mater.

Cool info. John ‘Records’ Landecker, Larry Lujack, Bob Sirott, and my fave, Fred Winston, got me to listen and I’ve never stopped.

I'd like to join. My combo is a Nemesis NC115 - 250w 1x15.

I've played thousands of gigs with it over 15 years, from small pubs to large concerts. As long as I'm loud enough to balance with the drums, then that's all the volume I need. Any more will be taken care of by the PA. :D

Here's a pic of me playing it in a large 400 seat theatre with my 60s band...

Good morning and welcome, 4SD! It is my pleasure to issue you a number to this fun club where combos are the reason we meet, but anything can be discussed. I admire your philosophy to how your combo fits into your playing requirements.

I will be sure to get you a number sometime today. Thanks for the request.

-Fearless Leader-

Gonna say it's true but for 15 inchers were pigs to move. Combos or cabs, pigs all. And in the understanding that is not strictly true here in the future, the right 15 incher does have its attraction. Just that I don't strictly need more amplification right now never stopped me before. There's a second PJB Cab 27 first ... the Elf is reportedly a happy Elf at 4 ohms ... Morrighan is reportedly happy with two fully modular rigs ....

5StringDave, I hereby declare you to be our 193rd member in good standing of the Combo Club. With that comes benefits, but also the responsibility of being a great ambassador for the combo amp wherever you go. #193 is yours to display proudly, possibly as a chest tattoo down the road, but I'll leave that up to you. Congrats!

Welcome to The Club, Davey! Here's your official Combo Club Communicator Badge that gives electronic access to all the best features of The Combo Club Clubhouse, in addition to voice communication with all Club members (except Fearless Leader who now has an unlisted voice address for security reasons*). Please read and heed the enclosed instructions, especially the Auto-RechargeTM feature requiring regular exposure to combo bass amp frequencies! And notify The Clubhouse Medical Department if symptoms arise.

Yeah. What ‘Dog said. For example, if you stalk us we’ll fly you to Florida whet you will be forced to carry GP’s Kasino by way of gravel roads all the way to Nome, Alaska. Yep, we don’t like stalkers, trolls, creepy lurkers, and ESPECIALLY those without a combo bass amp...enjoy your stay here at the CC!

I listened to WLS too! Funny extra note was that my first girlfriend's initials were also WLS, and she said that growing up she thought it was "her" radio station.

My man, I looked it up in my bog book of names you are currently member #161 and we're proud to have you in the club. You bring an important influence from another part of the world that I think makes online messaging a lot more fun! Don't forget to put your membership number in your signature and show it off when you're surfing.
