The Combo Club

[iagtrplyr]

My Rig of RoomDoom...all rompin', stompin' 30 watts of it...

Purchased a few years ago during my 7th childhood...

Ooh, a Marshall combo. That’s a pretty rare bird around here since they (as in Marshall) purchased Eden. Without looking, you’re already a member, right Phfat?

Your name sounds familiar but the Marshall doesn’t. If you’d like to join us as a member, and haven’t yet, boy do I have an awesome deal for you. Let me know!

 

[Phfat]

I think I am a member. I can sign in and post things and stuff...

I just don't pay any dues...

 

[iagtrplyr]

30y/o GP did do it. 'Bout to be 75y/o GP gots more sense. I last loaded up that thing in 2015. Operative word-last.

Oh, I’m sorry. Gee, I had you pegged for 33-34 years old, tops. Did I ever tell you how bad I am at guessing ages?

Oh yeah, and teaching Art. What’s the point of making a mess only to making kids clean it up 40 minutes later?

You’re right, I think you are. No, we don’t charge dues except to RodRy. One of these days I’ll finally confess and give him ten grand back...

Teaches them a good life lesson?

ETA: the only way to find out for certain what the Kasino weighs is to take it to a commercial scale. This would require loading it in my van(by myself), driving to somewhere that has a commercial scale(?), unloading it(me), rolling it in[wherever], rolling it back out to the van(me), loading it in the van(me), driving home, unloading it(me again), and putting it back in its corner of the living room. I like y'all....but not that much.

Take it to the grocery store self checkout with a grapefruit. Scan the grapefruit and then put the Kasino on the scale. Boom there is your weight! (After a little calculation).

 

[SoulReflection]

I don't know if I would go to too much trouble weighing a Kasino. I would suggest comparing it to the weight of a Casino and be done with it !

What’s up, Doc? Do you mean, BOOM! There’s the weight of the Kasino, or do you mean, BOOM! the scale blew up when the Kasino destroys the scale? I’m confused.

Yes!

Re, sorry about forgetting your 110. In fact, I believe you were the first to show off the new Max line. Could an army be slowly building up? I dunno, Fender Rumbles are way ahead, but I like the variety!

I may have to see if I can record a sound bite. Between the preamp and the giant soap bar pickups on the Yamaha, and the range of settings on the Peavey, I can gen up a seemingly endless array of tones. It goes from doom metal dark to jazzy and bright, and if you crank the gain way up, it growls like a lion with a toothache.

I’m pretty happy so far; it’s currently capable of way more than I am.

OK, but I still gots to load/unload/reload/unload the thing.

Prolly purty close!

Hello? Hellooooooo? Gee, maybe they're all secretly getting a surprise birthday party together for me in the Great Hall of Bass and they don't want me to go in there. Why ruin the surprise, so I won't. I popped in to show you my new pedalboard and the pedals I currently own to stick on it. Or should I say, lack-of stick?

To remind ya'll, I'm new at this dedicated pedal game, thinking all those little metal boxes were for those not wise enough to buy a combo-like all-in-one multi-effects unit. Well, after running through probably my 7th or 8th multi-FX pedal, I decided to give specific pedals a chance with my Terror Bass/PJB/Ampeg trio.

So I ordered a Voodoo Labs Dingbat and installed the pedals this morning. It's what any respectable birthday boy (or girl) would do on a Saturday birthday. Here are some pics of the final result. Notice the OCD-like neatness of the wiring, above and below. Everything works great, though the power supply and I will be having a word or two after school because it wants to fall off as soon as I move it with any more force than "gently." Otherwise, not a hiccup and it is so nice to have everything all linked up with one AC cord coming out the side. I can't believe I waited until 60 to find out about such niceties. Tomorrow, I'm gonna take a spin in one of those new-fangled automobiles and see what I think of that...

BTW, I'll have the results to you concerning the motto vote tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest. It's been quite hectic counting up the half-dozen votes, but I'm expecting a big flood of members dropping by to give me their choice. Operators are standing by.

And my JAN 12AT7 rolled in today, pardon the pun. I'm all set to retube the TB and, add the pedals to it, and let the fur fly. Kansas, this is your warning to prepare for seismic rumblings in the days ahead. See ya!

PS: the t-shirt reads, "My 60th Birthday...the one where I was Quarantined 2020" #2 will be forced to wear it in December as well.

Looks like the Fender Christmas cable that went for bargain prices after the holiday? All my Fender cables :: looks at fingers :: all my four Fender cables are flawless performers.

Who says I'm blabbing except to the entire world? That was the deal, GP. If I had to wear it so did she. Maybe this is why marriages have only a 50/50 chance of surviving!

M, I love it and had I known it was gonna be built so well, I'd have ordered two or three more. It makes me think of a kinder, gentler, less mask-wearing time too...six months ago. Ten bucks a cable too. Next Christmas, Santa is packing his bag full of 'em. Actually, I'd like to have 3-footers because as you can see, there's a whole lot of cable going on!

I didn't forget your birthday (after all the reminders). I just thought it would be fun to see what would be posted if I/we didn't make it my/our first post of the day!

Now that the laughter has subsided, I would like to wish you a very merry 60th, Mike and welcome you to the GOF's. As you venture past 5 dozen years, you need to be more Grumpy in order to earn your stripes and the respect of us truly GOF's.

I hope you continue doing what you do. After all, look at the service you are providing by sacrificing your pre-retirement income to show us what we should not buy!

But, seriously, have a Happy Birthday and many more of them .
