The Combo Club

Gotta go, but started working on “All I Want for Christmas is You” today and if you wanna cause seismic waves, run 800 watts through two tens and a fifteen in Fender TV combo model, generous with the bass, and strap in for an exhilarating ride. Sounded good too.

Doggie, you need this combo! Start saving your shekels.


Oooo, ... Oooo, ... Oooo. ... He's playing his Rumble Stage 800 with extension!!! Oooo, ... Ooo ...

Still looking for a perk for being labeled “essential.” You found one yet, Bigs? Not that I need to be bribed if anything, but other than being the second group in line for the vaccine, I can’t find anything. Maybe a Dunkin Donuts coupon or something?

Have a great day, folks!
Try the DD Maple Sugar Snackin' Bacon.
 
I found other owners saying that it's not 1000RMS. Peak power is a way of lying without breaking the law. If they claimed 1000RMS, that would be breaking the law. GK make an 800w combo, but that could be another one that needs outboard speakers for the full 800.

Sure. But it's still scummy.

My employer takes really good care of us essential workers.
I assume you mean "lying without breaking the law" is scummy?

Intentionally trying to mislead customers is scummy. Being so inept you don't realize that's what you're doing isn't scummy, but it's a clear sign you are in the wrong business. In that case, someone around you must know, and if they aren't trying to educate you, that's scummy.

These aren't the full 750 W (RMS) combos you are looking for.

What’s the wt on this little darlin’? I’m gonna guess 65 lbs.

That's 84 pounds / 38.5 kg but look at the back

Even I might manage that!

That's all it's 750 W (RMS) into its own drivers, no extension cab required for the "full" power.

I’ll give you that PJB looks to have built that cab as efficiently as they could and though of transportation as an issue some might have. I wouldn’t be keen on a dead life but getting in/out in the fashion of fridge owners do would make it fairly simple.

They're a bit vague, too. At least they said 750W RMS. But is that with the internal speakers or do you need an external; cab to use the full power?

[EDIT] OK, you said that's full power into the internal speakers. Where did you find that? They should have that front and center on the web page!

There's no way I would attempt to dead lift that rig. With the right gigmobile it'd be cake (until stairs that go through the kitchen &c &c). It's a lot of firepower there. And I can set my watch in the time it takes to for someone to step forward to assert it's not enough for their needs. I truly don't know what one or another player actually needs on stage. What I know is my winky little 350 W (RMS) combo covers a lot of gig territory where I am. When there is a live music scene, which there isn't right this moment. :meh:

Good point, Mike. Probably on a scope at a 1 Hz, 8 ohm load. Basically they to. The amp so it shows up looking good on paper, but are clueless at how it’ll perform in a real-world situation with varying impedances throughout the bandwidth, etc. makers who pride themselves in real.

Makers who do it the right way are more than happy to lay out their specs. Compare those to newer Vox and Peavey amps if you wanna be shocked (figuratively, not literally).

Great reply. Thanks for knowing I meant lift and not lives. Oh, it’s time for a break!

The view of the back panel shows a Line Out but no Speaker Out. WYSIWYG. PJB doesn't make an extension cab for this beast :nailbiting:
