The Combo Club

[GwenOnBass]

My wife is famous for her chocolate pecan pies. When we finally get the chance to meet up, I'll ask (beg, plead, beseech, enjoinder, etc.) for her to make one to share.

Sounds deadly. I accept

There is panettone and clotted cream here to-night.

 

[RodRy]

As the (currently) junior member of this august body, let me say hello to all. I'm located just south of where the Super-Slab crosses The Big Muddy, and have a room full of Martins and a building full of parrots. Drop in some time when the plague is over.

Per Google, Muscatine is only about 4.5 hour drive from here. Sounds possible in post-pandemic days. I prefer my martinis with gin, thanks.

 

[BrusselsBass]

What a nice thing to say, thanks very much. Please carry that positive attitude right through 2021! In fact, I’m elevating you to the position of Goodwill Ambassador for the club. Get out there, BB, and promote your positive vibe throughout all of Talkbass and maybe snag a few recruits if ya get the chance.

Do you accept this appointment?

What an honour - really.
I'll spread the word and have a look who in the Warwick forum uses combos, though many of them like big gear like Trace Elliot and big stacks .

 

[G-Dog]

So here's my big surprise. Fresh out of the G'Dog 007 Studios (similar to George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic but on a tighter budget), ... ... So if you're still looking for that last-minute stocking stuffer, for two grand we've got your gift. Happy holidays!

I am buyink several for all my friend [singular (sigh)] and family [in Siberia]! On Fearless Leader! And Dasher & Dancer & @Giffro & @RodRy & @Morrighan & @JakobT and ... and ... ... and all youse Comboites!
.

Oh, well. Merriest of Christmas to all Comboites!

[RodRy]

Sounds deadly. I accept

There is panettone and clotted cream here to-night.

Imagine a dark chocolate firm confection, with whole pecans throughout. Not quite a fudge, nor a pudding. Forkable, with a dry crust and moist interior. Topped with whipped cream, just so.

All those reindeer names always sound to me like street names for meth

 

[RodRy]

What an honour - really.
I'll spread the word and have a look who in the Warwick forum uses combos, though many of them like big gear like Trace Elliot and big stacks .

As an owner of a Warwick myself, I can see how that makes sense. Warwicks are not shy and understated basses, from my experience of one. When I first plugged mine in, I referred to it as "the beast." Now I just call it Red.

As the (currently) junior member of this august body, let me say hello to all. I'm located just south of where the Super-Slab crosses The Big Muddy, and have a room full of Martins and a building full of parrots. Drop in some time when the plague is over.

So glad you decided to join us. It’s comforting to know there’s another Hawkeye in the crowd mix. I think we all need to rendezvous to Florida after this mess is completely over.

We’ll congregate at Gone Plaid’s estate and catch one of his shows. I’d even go as far as recommending we all toss a bill or two in the hat for the band. Lord knows if he’s ever gonna get that Kasino ext cab he’ll need the assistance.

 

[iagtrplyr]

That's it...I just knew he wasn't sober!

Rarely when I’m playing...

 

[iagtrplyr]

The new guys are getting the UPGRADED communicator badges, right? The left side of my tongue still feels funny from the old communicator badge.

Time (and badge updates) marches on. It’s al it’s ‘21, RR!

Psst, Sargeant-at-arms (plus the famous secret agent 000 who no one has heard of) who is the Regional Manager? I keep calling the number to see how I may assist, but get the message, "the number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please check the number again."

Consider it a done deal. Let’s do this thing at GP’s flat in the summer of no Covid.

His idea. Keeps our anonymity up. You know how people are drawn to mysterious figures? There ya go. Keep trying the number though. We get a nickel every time you do!

I'll offer to bring the Kasino extension cab down from Ohio.
<Not going to pay for it or the van rental, but will accept the drive and detour.>

There is panettone and clotted cream here to-night.

And may you enjoy every delectable bite this evening, my Lady!

Sadly, for reasons that needn't be discussed here, members of my family have not been allowed south of the Ohio and Missouri rivers since 1865.

"How can you say NO to Combos?"​

And your first order of business this holiday season is to visit Dog’s Wiki page. It’s growing by the minute with up-to-date equipment info, FAQs, dozens of pics, and a few famous comboite celebrities thrown in for good measure. It’s a must-read, especially if you’re a newbie.

And during holidays, spoil yourself by downloading the GIF of your Fearless Leader for no charge. Think of it as our way to wish you the best. After the 25th though, it’ll cost ya your favorite combo, so shop early!

 

[StatesideRambler]

Everybody is off work and TB-ing this week I see.

 

[iagtrplyr]

Sadly, for reasons that needn't be discussed here, members of my family have not been allowed south of the Ohio and Missouri rivers since 1865.

Then, thinking off the top of my head, we’ll all meet in Keokuk and call it the “Kombo Konvention in Keokuk!” I love this idea.

Like I’ve seen in other clubs, ya bring your bass, ya bring your combo(s), we hook up the whole mess and try each other’s rigs out, have an impromptu jam (invite one drummer and half a guitar player), and eat chocolate pecan pie.

How could this not be the most fun since the night I came to bed wearing only an N-95 mask?

Get on this, people!

Everybody is off work and TB-ing this week I see.

You got it, ‘Rambler. At least this bum, though the stench of homework is never too far behind. Not for the next couple of days though. Enjoy the freedom!
