The Combo Club

Ladies and gentlemen, never fear, your Fearless Leader is back from school, mask intact, and ready for a long weekend before starting back up on Monday.

If you have any topic of interest you’d like to share, a question you need answered, or an opinion to offer, the clubhouse is open!

SoulReflection, who’s wanted a Fender Precision since Prohibition now has one. Head on over to the Club Saloon where the sassafras teas are on me! ;)
 
Thanks! Yeah, my symptoms have been mild, aside from the uncontrolled high grade fever that put me in the ER. I was a paramedic for a few years so I use the medical definition of mild. Wouldn’t wish my mild symptoms on anybody. I am actually much more awake and alert today, which is nice. I despise being forced into impersonating a lump on the couch...

I’ve been back at work for three days now with no ill effects. I’m working at the same pace as I did pre-COVID, and haven’t had any symptoms for 7 days. I’m declaring that a win.

Nice to “see“ you all!!!

I'm headed over to the P bass club right now but, when I come back, I hope M opens up the real bar. Time to celebrate the end Prohibition and P-less days :).
 
If that happens, it would be sweet. I am also trying for a Duck sound as well...fingers crossed ;).

How are you doing with your tone searching or is work getting in the way?

Played two nights ago with my latest rig and I liked it. Didn’t play last night, nor record anything yet, but the weekend is long and there’s not much on my plate!

Surprisingly, that 90-second piece I sent you sounded really good on my classroom pair of speakers (wall-mounted on either side of my Smartboard). They don’t put our much bass and it sounded balanced. I tell ya, it’s all in the mixdown.

And nice to see and read you, Recon! So tell us, did the docs mention your chances of getting the virus again, and if so, what’s the turnaround time?

Heard today out in our hallway that our governor is not closing our schools no matter what. Our principal said she would shut down one of our three classroom wings with the virus and the other 2/3 would keep right on going.

We’ll see what happens if it’s the adults who are all sick; we know there are little to no subs available right now.

No matter, free early eighties Peavey combos at M’s laundromat for the taking IF you can carry it to your chariot!

It certainly is...
 
Yesterday was NBD courtesy of Big Brown. My wish from the '60's for a P, finally came true. After new pick guard, new strings and a set up, here she is (the noon day sun did not show the true burst). Just getting used to the neck and full scale. Sounds sweet through the Rumble Studio 40 Combo...
