The Combo Club

Ooo! Ooo! I know! I know! Ooo! Ooo! Rumble blackout 210! Ooo! Ooo!

As always, very perceptive G'Dog! Either that or the Rumbler 115. Yes, the same cab I complained about and still do, but I'm wondering if being paired up with the Terror Bass might lose a little of its muddiness (if it's still even there). That being said, the 210 is probably the smarter choice because it'll seamlessly pair with the Stage 800 and still look (and sound) awesome with the TB. It's another hundred smackers though.

I could borrow against RR's dues though, right? I mean, I am the imperial leader-guy, or whatever 'Dog is calling me at the moment. Exhausted Imbicel, Goofy Grand Pooba. It's me. Hmm...I may look into that.
 
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.
I'm glad you didn't do it, because you forgot to write down its weight...
 
Member number #198 disagrees and wants Y. to find his reading glasses.


Take it as a compliment, swinkie-do. Fearless Leader is always mixing up GonePlaid and myself one way or another. Of course, I'm quite flattered, but Goner is rightfully insulted! Still, he only mixes up the ones he loves, you know, like the song, "you only hurt the one ..."

Hey Swink! I thought you were just trying to be a stinker but you're right. You, my friend, are #198, and a proud one at that. FBQC, is #199 and will be forever and a day. Thanks for correcting me. The funny thing is I have it right on the ancient scroll. I wish someone would find us a 200th member because I haven't heard back from Phfat yet. Find us a member, Combo Club, and I will award you one shbillion shmackeroons! Seriously, that's a lot of shmackeroons. Get to it and let's hit 200 members!

No, it's the song, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My G'Dog." Or was it the classic BadCo tune, "Gone, Gone, Gone Plaid?" See, I can't remember anything any longer. I'm too busy hoarding shmackeroons. And, BTW, they're delicious with cold milk. Can ya tell that's presently my favorite word in the universe?

Ah, come on, spring with some of those teacher dollars...buy a R2-10 and a R1-15 cab and give us the real dirt comparison with your Stage and Terror ;).

SR, I will not, repeat, will not be responsible for any earthquakes, tsunamis, or nuclear blasts with that many cabinets assaulting the audience all at once! I have to sell my little Voxy combo first to free up some coin. I dunno, I'm in a quandry, but it's still better than doing the laundry. Hey, a hit song there.

I'm still partial to a 115 when being used alone, and with the TB it'll most likely be that way. With the Stage 800 though, there are more options. Obviously the 210 would be the better fit, but I seem to remember reading that Fender took into consideration players would be mixing the different speakers and that it'll work. I know many look at the different cabinet dimensions to see what'll fit and look better. Methinks me should do that too.

I know, even with the untold millions staring at me each month from the State of Iowa, cough cough, I'm gonna have to do some saving up or sell some gear, plus I'd still like a second short-scaled bass guitar. No one told me at 60 you'll have too much you crave and not enough time or funding to take care of the craving! And let's not even talk about the solid-gold amp and guitar stands I've been looking at...

OK, sell the Voxy, but buy the R2-10 and R-15. Keep the best one for the Stage and the best one for the Terror. We are counting on you to give us your true, unbiased reviews and, as our FL, we appreciate your financial sacrifices;):D.
 
Volunteering to turn in my 15 inch combo license for one of these. For science.

Actually, the Rumble Stage 800 is quite capable of running both the Rumble 210 and the Rumble 115 cabs at the same time! What a monumental opportunity to compare the 210 directly to the 115 with each receiving exactly the same signal! Yes! It has an impedance switch on the back to set for 8 ohms with one, or none, 8 ohm cab OR to set to 4 ohms with two 8 ohm cabs or one 4 ohm cab!!! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, JUST DO IT! That way, it's even still combo related. :bassist:

I'm sure, under the circumstances, that The Rumble Club Trivia! department would be willing to buy a sizable portion of your schmackeroons hoard, at a very attractive rate, in order to procure semi-exclusive rights, to be shared with the Combo Club, to photos & review of a running 2.67 ohm Rumble Stage 800 combo with two 8 ohm cabs! :hyper: I mean, some papers will have to be signed, first-born promised, and such, but it's doable!
.
Yeah, I mean, it is page 500 after all!


A-a-a-and another great Combo Club milestone almost overlooked! 500 glorious pages of Combo Club coolness reached! Thank you, Roddy, thankyewverymuch! Yet another reason for Fearless Leader to do something monumental with his birthday bucks.

Hmmm, I'd have to check with The Rumble Club Trivia! department about shmackeroons conversion rates in the subsequent event of a return of one of the Rumble cabs, but I'm certain that your "people*" and their "people*" could hammer out an agreement **. Not a problem.





*ugh, [retch], um, [shudder], lawyers!
**mmm, yeah, contract.

Oh, don’t think I haven’t thought of the 2.67 ohm experiment, but three speaker cabs (including Stage 800)? Yikes!

I’m most likely choosing one, but I’m really having a hard time deciding which. I definitely like Fender’s tens for bottom AND the fact it’ll match up perfectly.

Okay, decided.

On the other hand, I’ve always enjoyed a single fifteen putting out my sound. I have a sneaky suspicion the Terror Bass would work really well with it. It’s also about ten pounds lighter than the 210 and if I was hauling a separates rig that’d be a nice benefit.

Okay, decided.

In other words, I have no idea...yet.

As for hitting 500 pages, I was happily noticing that true club milestone, but I’ve been so busy reading G’Dogs diatribes, hidden innuendos, and ridiculously complicated breakdown of the schmackeroon, I hadn’t had time to mention it in contrast to my birthday, which some people believe will go down as the single most memorable club event in 2020. That’s what I hear some people say.

Regardless, congrats to the club on 500 pages, let’s now go get 10,000 posts and a 200th member!

It sounds like you have reached a definite maybe.
 
10,000 posts. If I won anything, too bad, don’t want it. Get off my lawn!

Also, the schmackeroon has tanked and is now worth less than a plugged peso. However, the current exchange rate is very favorable in the eastern bloc countries, so if you can find anything good over there, it may be worthwhile. I understand Yugo is making some very nice combos with *ahem* surprise stage effects. Something to do with the factory in Chernobyl, no doubt...
