The Combo Club

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
Yeah, my Mom used to take us camping a few times each summer when I was a kid. I recall being confused and curious the first time I saw a camper rocking one evening. "What are they doing in there?" Got closer, heard some things, and decided to ignore such happenings from then on. :wideyed:

And yet, you're married. How's that working for ya? ;)

SR, I'd say that baby is large enough to haul your twin 810 cabs and SVT head, plus your gigantic pedalboard. Feel free to instead carry your Studio 40 and P-bass when ya start back to traveling though!

Edit: guess what, my compadre? My Presonus software will not allow me to use VSTs. I have to pony up to the Artist level for that option. Back to Square One now.

This arrived yesterday just in time for rehearsal. The handle got jacked up in shipping but I don't care. The amp works great and finding someone willing to ship one of these is an accomplishment in itself. Weighed 130lbs boxed! I think 80-90lbs unboxed. Its larger than I thought it would be but worth it!

What an insane sounding beast. Super thrilled!
 
Ummm...I'm wondering if we're talking about different things. I'm talking about ignoring other people's trailers rocking. ;)

Edit: Been married for nearly 24 years, and it's going great! Super happy about it! :D
Wait. Married people.....er,.....rock trailers? Hmmm. Must be a regional thing.

Time for Reaper???
 
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.
You’re not the only one to get smaller gear. I went with a Markbass Mini 121P and matching outboard speaker for a blend of lightness and output, before having a hard time lugging a rig about.
I bet that portion of the left rear is a problem at toll booths.;)
Does that sticking-out bit slide back in?

Nice, but your bass is backwards or it's a mirror reflection:D!

Swing and a miss on my poorly thrown joke. You mentioned you decided to ignore such happenings from then on. I mentioned you’re married and...there we go. Yeah, it wasn’t that funny.

Congrats, donahue, it looks like vintage in great shape. I’m a tad lax on Mesa history, what year, power, and speaker-size are we talking here? Any notable fun facts about the amp worth sharing?

Oh yes, how does it sound?
