The Combo Club

Haven't done one of these roll call lists in a while, but with our 200th member added I thought it was a perfect time to reflect on those who joined five years ago as well as today. Thanks for being part of this great club!

So let's begin recruiting the next 200 combo-loving members. Maybe a schmackeroon or two in your pocket might prove to be the incentive you need to accomplish the task. (please read the fine print below...or don't)

schmackeroons, are you kidding? We have about as many of those coins as leprechauns have gold pots hanging off their earlobes. I can pretend that we're giving you some, but take it from me, it's not for real. In fact, this entire club incentive is as fake as a three-dollar bill, but because G'Dog has my family held hostage until I finally recognize Fender Rumble amps to be the absolute best, the fakery may have to continue for years. Actually, I'm getting quite used to living alone and right now have two Merry Maids taking care of my every need...cleaning-wise, I mean. Let's not go there, okay? Oh, how I hate these contests and nonsense. What I won't do for a few more members each month. It's like pulling teeth, or better yet, asking GP to pick up the bar tab on Tuesday nights. Torture! All right, I feel better, but if you believe in schmackeroons, I've got a doctor up in Canada who'll perform an appendectomy on ya for five bucks...
 
... ... Who’s the club treasurer again? I want to double...no, triple G’Dog’s number of those solid pedal connectors I’ve been meaning to award him with for meritorious service. Somebody make a note of that.

Heading to Command Central!


Hmmm, is lettink me to seeink here . . . .

Hey kids and IAGTRPLYR. Didnt you remember making me the treasurer Mike loll.. ... ...


Vell! That is explainink vhy ve haff not seeink comrade @Giffro in such a long time! First, our Club accounts are drained, and now the world shmackeroons market is kaputnik! I trust that Giffy is haffink a really good time!! At least I hope that is beink reason. :unsure: (sigh)

But, OH, BOY, OH, BOY, OH, BOY, OH!!!! I cannot beink to wait and proudly displayink my solid metal pedal coupler-like Aviator Wings beneath my Combo Club Communicator badge!! I am to beink envy of all of Club; nay, even all of TalkinkBass!!

GP, I know you're an hour ahead of me, but are you already thinking about lunch? Wendy's might be able to help ya with your order better than us. No, I think 'red is thinking Phil Jone's little combo, the D4.
Apparently, some Wendy's cook their burgers a little too well done for my taste.

Wasn’t it written somewhere, never trust an Australian? Well, maybe not, but I’d say for the moment we’re srewednik!

And let’s remind everyone, that is a GOLDEN Combo Club Communicator badge. Not just any run of the mill silver one. Well-deserved though. And so quickly adorned too. I thought we were broke?

No, more like WHITE Hawt! red, that looks super nice. Where did ya buy it from or was it a private sale? Now, remember what I’ve written, don’t throw it out with the bathwater even after two or three weeks of playing. Let those fours break in. You’ll know when they do because you’ll have decent bass a popping.

While I usually run it horizontally, but a couple of times ago I sat it vertically and even though it was more of a pain twisting knobs, I thought the speakers sounded better in that array.

Welcome to the top-secret Double Four sub-Club. It’s so secret, we don’t even use our real names. I’m Bond...:cool:

Got it on "clearance". I'll run it through the paces tomorrow morning
 
Thank you, Rod, I had no idea. I tend to stay away from anything spawned by Satan anyway, so thanks for the heads up.

Seriously, this proves how many times I’ve hooked up more than one pedal. I have only one flexi cable on me and these were sitting in a box. Heck, I thought they made good sense.

Time to get online and order a few of these patch cables. Thanks again, RR.

G’Dog, what’s Rod won for saving Fearless Leaded’s pedal board???
How about a hunnert doller deal on a red Dub 4? :woot:
 
Don’t know who’s dishing out the numbers but here’s my combo.
Acoustic Image Corus R combo with an Upshot extension cab.

Hey roccobass, I’m that guy and I am happy to make your acquaintance! That is quite a setup you have there, and there’s no double bass I’ve seen yet that doesn’t impress me with it’s size alone. Your amp rig is top-notch too and that makes it a pleasure add you to our already star-studded list.

By the power vested in me from Hank’s Air Conditioning and Wart Removal Service-southside, out of Kankakee, IL, I hereby award you with #201. Add it to your sig, tell your friends, and wear it with pride.

Someone’s always asking about the Acoustic Image line, and I don’t think we more than maybe one other who owns their products, so feel free to become our expert and respond to those who might test your brain. Congrats on your good taste and thanks for joining our club!
