The Combo Club

[iagtrplyr]

I am a graduate student .

And working towards the degree of Masters of Being a Great Friend with a Solid Pair of Ears!

Ya but, at what expense?

Your L-20 disc...

 

[Nuage420]

Aw dang. Really sorry to hear of that. I'm guessing you are renting?

Yes, gladly too. We considered buying this place at first but I move often and property taxes out here are high so didn't seem like it would make a good rental. In 18mths they've had to make over 25k in repairs and replacing appliances.

Ya but, at what expense?

For only money...

 

[iagtrplyr]

Y'all are not enticing me to buy pedals.

And for the dumbest of reasons too, RR. I’ll never be a pedal guy in the sense of a million versions of distortion, but a decent-quality pedal that pleases your ears and placed in the right spot on your board can pay big dividends. If only they’d just dim the lights!

I find myself feeling sorry for your landlords.

Now that's an Idea.... Gentlemen start your Combo's.... The Race will be to the "Drummer of the Who" and back... the first one who reaches the finish line, will be democratically elected by our FL as the winner of the cup... and will receive a coupon worth one-hundred-billion Smackaroons to buy eternal respect from the combo club.

I approve of this message. Game on!

I have yet to find a pedal that seems worth it to me. The extra expense, connections and complexity have kept me from really giving them a shot. Plus, seems like every other show one of the guitar player's pedal would stop working mid-set. Often when needed most.

Imagine For Whom The Bell Tolls suddenly being played with no distortion, only clean tone.

As further, and much more valuable, incentive to The RaceTM, the winner will also receive this coveted loving cup trophy by courtesy of the Combo Club Clubhouse Curio & Gift Shoppe. With this and the one-hundred-billion Schmackeroons, at current exchange rates, the winner can almost afford a tall vente caffe at their favorite upscale Caffe Shoppe.

When you need something to add a touch of class to your competitive bloodbath, turn on the 007-light and he will show up with a loving cup!

Can I get a numbuh?!?
But
I love this little amp.

Hey there, casbonano, welcome to the Combo Club! My bass brotha, you are receiving tonight club number 226. Add it to your sig so you can let others know that combo amps are used for more than just drink coasters. Thanks and congrats!

 

[Nuage420]

Most definitely. The property managers struggle with the owner who doesn't quite understand that they are supposed to rent out a house that functions... the only reason we're still here is the short time we're going to be here.

Yeeeeesss! Thanks!

Maybe on Hee Haw...

I fancy, besBesides my new Ampeg preamp pedal, I really fancy low-level compression and not just for the rock stuff. For half and whole notes, the sustain is a real plus. My TC Electronics pedal, which C7 sold me, has become part of my sound on most songs. Maybe it’s an acquired taste, but if you haven’t tried one Rod, it’s the first pedal you should try.

Welcome sir!! #10

Double digits!!

I am chartering a new club to any and all. This if for the TBer who is not afraid to admit they rock a combo as their Main rig. I realize that there are separate threads for Fender and Walkabout out there.

Let us unite in the face of massive prejudice. let them respect our numbers if they cannot understand that our gear works for us.!!

The only requirement for this club is pride in combo ownership. No bashing brands.....if it works for you welcome to the club!! PICS OF COURSE.

Chef Ken---I play a Fender Rumble 15--Can I get a Combo club number. I decided to get a little combo that did not strain my knees. My past including big piggyback amps including a Fender Bassman and an Ampeg BT 15 D, both are long gone. should never have gotten rid of my Kalamazoo Bass 50 combo 50 watts and 2 tens.

 

[themickster]

Had to clear my little studio area due to the flood. the combos are invading the living room!

Hi Frank! Thanks for your interest in the CC. Chef Ken, the club’s version of George Washington, hasn’t been around in years, though he has an open invitation to drop by sometime. I represent the over 200 combo-lovin’ bass player’s and we would love to have you join us. All you need to do is post a picture of your Rumble 15 and you’re in! I’ll then take care of awarding you with a number.

Great to catch up today, have been elsewhere in the house wiring the Grand Cherokee for trailer lights and brakes and replacing the water pump, all in anticipation of picking up our new-to-us vacation Combo....We pick up the 23FB Airstream end of the month in Colorado, a 25?hour drive to NOB (north of border). Then, I can hopefully snag a red PJB (real combo content, red matches my sweetie’s decor plans!) to use in testing how well it has been riveted. If you see an Airstream with walls a-flexin next summer, it will likely be me.

 

[GwenOnBass]

It's my habit to walk past bouncing Airstreams, and maybe pretend I didn't see that. But if I hear a bass, I might knock
politely

I bet that portion of the left rear is a problem at toll booths.
