The Combo Club

Mini van, mega fun. SWMBO and I have a ‘13 Honda Odyssey. It’s like a truck, but with better mileage...
Old gigmobile(still have)is a 1996 Ford Aerostar w/ 348,000 miles on it. It would hold it but might not make the round trip. I keep it in case of emergency-and cos nobody'll gimme anything for it. Everything works but the cruise control.
BTW, as much as I would love to have the cab, I've lost a potful of cash this year for cancelled gigs. Can't justify the cost of any gear until/unless things pick up. Or the prize patrol comes to mi casa.

Good evening all. Ya know what I’d like in the used dept, if one was was in my are, in great shape, and not overpriced? An Ampeg B-100R combo. Thought I’d by many to be their finest sounding combo, I think with its decent power output and single large driver, it’d be the perfect studio amp.

The negatives are it’s weight, age (who wants an over 20-yr old combo short of mint?), it currently fetches a pretty high resale price, plus do I really need another amp? At the same time, if one fell my way I’d grab it and giggle like a proverbial school girl.

So here’s your weekend homework, if interested. Come up with one used item you’d give your left (insert your own noun here) for and why. Good luck and have some fun!

GP - Kasino ext cab
RR - Zon Sonus 8
FL - Ampeg B-100R

:rolleyes:...:chicken:...:whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle: I understand tough..... You can always wait for another 50 years. :D
 
If anyone on this forum lives close to Elyria, maybe they can help facilitate the sale and transport?

I would, but at 3.5 hours drive one way, I'm probably not the closest.

Really want to see this outside the old garage door next spring!
:D
I like the way you think, sir!!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I’ve been saying this since the beginning!

Darn you. Darn you to HECK!!!

AH-fretless Black n maple Fender P
This one in particular.
Fender Precision Bass Fretless 1974 Black | GuitarPoint GmbH | Reverb
It’s also my birth year bass.
@RodRy -Do that thing where you make everybody buy it for me like GP’s prize patrol Kustom cab.
 

It's listed for more than a year... It must be possible to demand a major reduction or at least a free shipment (Don't mention where you live before they agree with the shipment :D)

Just stop it, swink, just you stop it!
I hadn’t heard it. Now you’ve made it worse!
(And what are you doing up so early anyway?!)
Speaking of combos, what’s that tweed amp he’s playing through?

OK, time to pass two hats. One for GP's Kasino extension, one for Aaron's fretless.

You're on your honor, so do us proud!

(Psst, Aaron, is that what you mean?)
:smug:

Edit: I just looked at the price of that 1974. You gonna be waiting a while for the hat to get that full... :wideyed:

Yes!
That’s exactly it.
I understand.
It’s expensive.
I can wait a day or two.
Holding breath...NOW!

I'm happy with what I have but would like a 1x8 200w to be a high freq for my Markbass 121 stack. Their 801 is only a 45w head but has a 200w driver. What a waste.
