The Combo Club

(until stairs that go through the kitchen &c &c

just mount other wheels and you are on your way

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

I should have looked for that. Somewhere I saw something suggesting the rated power was into 3 ohms. I've personally never seen an amp list a power rating into less than 2 ohms. (And the owners manual says the internal speaker impedance is 6 ohms. Something is odd.)

I'm only curious in an academic sense what situation this combo would be insufficiently loud. In a way this combo might make sense for someone who doesn't want to drag around two C9 cabs and who knows what Big Iron.

My employer takes really good care of us essential workers.


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.

I appreciate all essential workers. I've got a piece of paper that says I'm one too, but I don't think staying at home and doing engineering work is anywhere near the ballpark of what many others do. Total respect for such as postal carriers, restaurant workers, grocery store employees, teachers, and healthcare workers of every stripe. In fact, I know that I've forgotten many that I'm grateful to, so help me out: post 3 essential worker jobs that you are thankful for.

And thanks for the good definition of what you meant by scummy in this context. I wholeheartedly agree with you!

Hospital techs, nurses, doctors.

Had my temperature read today on my way into the lab. I'm not really sure what to think when the lab technician and the x-ray technician remember me. I'm happier when the FA remembers me

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.

In considering, I have to think that a Quadruple Four with about 150 W RMS (as opposed to the 75 in my Double Four) would rock hard enough to probably make me consider ditching my little GK combos. Even if it weighed twice what my D4 does, we're still only talking 18 pounds, and it could probably keep up with most drummers.

I'm I the only one who thinks this is a no-brainer?

 

[biguglyman]

Still looking for a perk for being labeled “essential.”

Haven't found one so far...unless you consider all the overtime I'm getting as a "perk". I am an electronics technician for the USPS. I work the night shift keeping the machines that sort the mail running. I will admit I am WELL compensated for the extra time, but money isn't everything. I haven't had time to work on the songs for tomorrow evenings band rehearsal. In four hours early tonight...

The BG-300 250 W (RMS) Super Flightcase combo would fit in that space between the Double Four and the BG-400. With two upfiring speakers, it'd serve a lot of gigs pretty well. There's only a Line Out, so no 500 W with a non-existent external cab. All the internal speakers get all the watts.

Actually, the closest they made to what I'm thinking of is the BG-150.

Now if they reissue it with 4 x 4" speakers and the same awesome baffling that they used to make the D4 so sweet sounding and light?

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Let me know if you want to try the Cub, or try your Double Four with the PB-100. I think we can figure out a way to make it happen before I sell them, if I do.

They don't have the passive baffle, but they still sound pretty damn good.

Or, a second generation Briefcase amp, it has the radiator, but with 5's and a battery?

Wonderful sentiment, RR. I’m incredibly thankful to our mail carriers in specific for all the extra burden that’s been placed on them the past nine months.

I’d like to add small business owners who got sideswiped from Day One with this nightmare. For all those who’ve hung on, there have been countless Mom and Pop shops who didn’t.

My third group are all the factory workers who have worked long hours to supply the rest of us with the necessities needed to keep us going. Though cleaning wipes have become an endangered species in school, we’ve never run out of rubber gloves or what we call Covid spray for the desks and chairs.

Thank you!

Don’t forget the folks that make food... I work in the industrial side of the food industry. We have not slowed down a bit.

1. Postal and other delivery/transport workers.
2. Grocery and restaurant workers.
3. Anyone in health care.

We (and a number of our friends) have gotten takeout as much as we could since shelter in place (or lockdown or whatever each has) orders came down. Working from home, still getting paid, we want to make sure our favorite restaurants and workers survive. All our faves have made it, but some real icons have gone down. Venues even more so.

Absolutely! The food industry has kept me sane for all these months, though the belt industry has left me somewhat...short.

Being retired, it hasn't affected my 'work' schedule. One of our every 3rd week venues couldn't make enuff $ at 1/2 capacity to pay the rent-gone. Another restaurant/lounge gig has stayed open at 1/2 capacity but no money for music, another 3 places didn't serve enuff food to be considered restaurants, just bars-still haven't reopened, may not. We've lost ~60 gigs that were on the books in February. I don't depend on that income to survive, but it hurts anyway.
Because I live alone, I didn't really go out to eat very much, so no favorite eateries to support. Still, all-in-all, 2020 sucks.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the tuner to work on the GXT-7 connected to a Rumble Studio 40?

 

[themickster]

Sure. But it's still scummy.

It's worse than scummy.
