The Combo Club

May I be bold enough to suggest that my bass playing compadre, RodRy, who also happens to reside in the the part-time frozen tundra I like to call Michigan, be given the position of Assistant to the Regional Manager. If he performs well as the ATTRM during his probationary period, then he could be promoted to Assisted Regional Manager.



Interesting. If you can talk Pam into joining the club (I need another secretary), then I’m find with...who is it? Oh, RR. Yeah, we’ll give him Assistant to the Regional Mgr. especially ‘cuz he’s from Michigan.
 
I'll respond backward.
1) yes.
2) Never said I wasn't easy. Plus, I like PT!
3) RR's a cool dude too. .... something creatively kooky to fit his unique personality.
4)... I'm buying you a Jazzer because it'll be worth the price ...!
5) ... :poop: on my .. radio guess. .., don't be wrong around The Dog or you'll be scarred for life...
6) It wouldn't surprise me one bit if ... I receive ... two shiny pennies; ... GP. . can't stand you


Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I'm gettin' a Jazzer! I'm gettin' a Jazzer! I can hardly wait!!!

Oh, but, I would also love an all-tube Philco AM radio! I just meant I couldn't afford one with what my kids think... I mean, ... what my kids gave me.

And, hey, I worship GP! Period! He's da man, I kid you not! Yeah, he may get a little annoyed with our occasional chance encounters, but I do NOT stalk him, whatever he may have told you! Yeah, and Roly Poly's the best, you know? And I like Roddy, too. I was gonna even suggest Rod could be Court Jester! But, yeah, Asst. to the Regional Mgr. sounds good, too.

Okay, take a seat, everyone. ... I purchased a Rumble 115 cabinet, ... ... would like to use it with the Stage 800, but not with the grill looking the way it did. ... ... quite pleased how it turned out, ... ...

Okay, take a seat, everyone. I am ready to present to you my latest experiment results. No, I did not make any Ooblick, so keep your yaps quiet. Here's a 30-second summary of why I'm unveiling my art project.

I purchased a Rumble 115 cabinet, knowing the 210 cab would size up perfectly and look like a twin, but decided that I wanted the 15 because I love 'em and thought it'd work perfectly with the Orange Terror Bass amp. That being said, I still would like to use it with the Stage 800, but not with the grill looking the way it did. It's like wearing white loafers with black pants. Sorry, GOFs. Is my 30-seconds over yet? Without any further adieu...

I quite pleased how it turned out, but the best question came from #2 this afternoon when she came into my room and asked, "Is this gonna be loud?" :help:

Edit: oh yeah, I stuck the PJB in there for scale.
Is there a before pic? I'm not sure what you did.

I was asked that by the Mrs. I stick the cover on and never thought about it again. It was the standard, but beautiful Fender silver grill cover. I decided it had to at least look the part, so I bought some really good semi-gloss and went to town. Gee, that plastic Fender logo is cheap! Regardless, I’m happy with the results. Tomorrow I’ll unleash the beast or maybe tonight...shhh.

You don’t know how close I was to adding the 210 with the order, but then I thought that it’d be a sign of weakness to the membership, plus I literally have no room left in the house for another cab.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and thank you for all the wonderful ellipses! I never knew ye cared! :hyper:

Metal ones are available online. I just don't care enuff. Besides, the amp's behind me.:smug::p

I hear ya. I knew they were plastic, but til I held in my hand did I realize how chintzy it was. No different than any other brand, I suppose. I’ve seen the metal ones too, but agree, it’s not a biggie.

If I lived dorm the street from ya, GP, I’d roll the cab over to your place and let you test the two 15s. It be great if you ever got back to outdoor shows.

Yeah, I considered getting a second 15 to go with the 200c, but I really wanted the 112cab. Only time I regret it is when I gots to move them. The sound of the THUNDERBIRD through a 15 and a 12 is scrumptious.
 

Alaska, long time no read, how ya doing? Okay, which is it, are you showing us a picture of a TE combo you’re thinking of buying or are you showing us your latest acquisition? Last I remember you were flying the GK flag. I hope you bought it ‘cuz we’re all dying to know what it sounds like. Spill the beans!

As OCD as I am, SR, I’m not bothered one bit, .... I see it in my mind as a dark castle with a base and tower. All I need now are bats flying around.

The real question is when I’ll see a use for this rig? Probably not soon. ....


iago, I've added your pic of "The Dark Castle" to the Combo Club Wiki page, linked in my signature, at the very top of the Combo Club PIX! section. It's a stunning example of super-combo-ness! Thanks for sharing this unique stack with us.

And a thank you for making musicians like me who exponentially buy more equipment than actually use it to gig!

I appreciate your steadfast work on the Wiki page and will visit it this morning. It’s cool that you’ve created a running diary of all those who’ve contributed to the love of combo amps and their extension cabs.

Carry on, 007! :thumbsup:

Boy, you weren't kidding with being at the top of the page. IMHO, I'd just leave it like that for a year or two. ;)

It's here! It's here! @swink y-do, I owe you 5 schmackeroons for being so cynical as to think it would be a day later'n the tracking said it would. In fact, for a while, I had my hopes up it would be an hour earlier than estimated! The constantly refreshing tracking map showed the truck near my town that soon! But, man! Some folks musta got their stuff even 2 or 3 days late, they prob'ly saved up coming here so long, 'cause it was 3 hours later making deliveries to practically ever'body else in town 'for they got to me, smack dab in the middle of the 4 hour window of estimated delivery! Can you beat that?

Sorry for the delay. Mrs. Dog poured some food into my dish on the floor of the kitchen and I got distracted.

Well, here it is, my new gear, just arrived. Haven't even tried it out yet. So, the review will come later.

For you old hands here that know me, and recognize my Rumble Studio and Starcaster bass, guess what's new!

Always love seeing that bass. If had seen one of those before the Hofners my current range of basses might be different.

Tuner? TV? Strap? Mic stand?
