"First you get down on your knees,I’m doing pretty well, thanks, even unvaccinated. It’s Oregon; we’ll be about #47 to get a shipment of vaccine.
I’ve admired Tom Lehrer since college in 1969 when I first was introduced to him through an LP from the secondhand bin. Years later I played some of An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer for my date and almost stayed single as a result. Not everyone gets it! But I keep trying. A gracious thank you to those of you who get it!

But, ... but, ... but, ... you said, "(see avatar)" and, ... and, ... and, ... when I see your avatar I see two, count 'em 2(!), different colored Mini SuperBeetles, which means to me both a bass and a guitar amp!!! Do I not? Doesn't everyone? This is what I see in your avatar. So, what's up, doc? What's the story? Huh? Huh? Huh? Come on, out with it!

UPDATE 2: The BC 208 cab arrived today, and while it’s not a combo, I beg the indulgence of the club, since the subject has been broached already.UPDATE: Just put in an order for the BC208 cab. Our practice space is crowded, and the Rumble 210 a little awkward to move about without bumping into stuff, This is smaller and lighter, so I’m hoping it’ll be a little more convenient without sacrificing too much volume or tone.

What will it be when it grows up?UPDATE 2: The BC 208 cab arrived today, and while it’s not a combo, I beg the indulgence of the club, since the subject has been broached already.
It sounds pretty good, although it won’t be replacing my Rumble 500 any time soon (or any of my other combos, for that matter). However, it makes for a nice pocket rig, and perfect for leaving the cab in the practice space and carrying the BAM200 head back and forth. Incidentally it’s about equal to the Trace Elliot Elf and 208 cab, at about half the price. It also unfortunately shares the major downside of the Elf head (apart from the price tag), to wit: no AUX In. That disqualifies it for home practice as far as I’m concerned, but as it’s loud enough for band practice, and I have plenty of Rumbles, that doesn’t matter. And it looks OK as well:

Does this guy look untrustworthy to you?
Maybe I should not ask that...

Some such. He did have a drink in front of him, so maybe he's a top spy. You know, a secret agent man.We-e-ell ..., ... There's a certain shiftiness in the eyes, ... and an undeniable slyness in the grin, ... but, I dunno, ... something about that face seems to me to be basically trustworthy.
Who is it? A serial killer, or some such?

With that angel face???Who is it? A serial killer, or some such?
Whoa! Cap'n Crunch is dead?With that angel face???
The only serial this guy has ever killed would be his breakfast serial....
I’m kind of hoping it won’t get any bigger.What will it be when it grows up?![]()
yup, he must be cold by now, and stored in the fridge... next to the milk.Whoa! Cap'n Crunch is dead?
Oatmeal in the winter. Lately with sliced kumquat, brown sugar, cinnamon, and slivered almonds.With that angel face???
