The Combo Club

As bad as we'd love to make an ext. cab for ya, how about the club chips in for a salt & pepper set that resembles the Kasino pair? I'm sure Crate & Barrel would have them...:laugh:
IDK if the guy in Cleveland still has his for sale, but I'd still like to have it. Not sure why, but why not?
 
Well...today was very small gathering at BL house to send off our bandmate Brandon “Small Batch” Runyon. Pizza was eaten, masks were worn. Karen and our boys were there, and our drummer Don “Miami Vice” Johnson was there as well. Our first time together in over a year.
Sad- Brandon truly IS NOT ready to leave, But....yeah, it’s a girl bewitching him.
Well, we had a farewell jam- first time I’ve played with folks for over a year! Good to knock some rust off, and “fall back” into a few familiar tunes!! Kicked it out on “Can’t You See” and nailed INXS “never tear us apart”- didn’t play a combo, played my EB-3L through the Ampeg Micro CL 100W mini stack (2x10”cab-fun). Hadnt played that bass or amp in a year either- brought them home, though! Yay!!
I really don’t know when I’ll be able to play again right now, but I’m hopeful!!:thumbsup:

Just say the word, my bass brotha, and I'll have G'Dog fetch for ya in a NY minute. Hasn't he already done some interesting photo enhancing on this subject? We'll have him pick it up and bring it down to FLA in time for the next gig. And the best part is he can put it on the club account where we can get 5% back in Schmackeroons. I'm down with it.

PS: swink, look in your high-tech crystal ball, and let us know if that Kasin cab is still available or not. Thanks!

Glad you had a good time. Reading this, we can all live vicariously through you for a moment. Say, how do you like that Ameg rig? Just asking for a friend...
 
Your Ibby looks real nice, '68. I'm a sucker for seafoam green. It makes me think of summer and mint chip ice cream or someone's bathroom tiles back in the 60s! Seriously, I'm a fan of that vibe.

Ive gotten one of those Squier Bullet Telecasters in Surf Green on $129 sale to use as a modding platform. Lots of budget, but quality parts will be going into this eventually including a vintage tort pickguard from Musiclilly. It will be the Ibby’s little six-string sister!!

I’ve just seen the Aguilar line of limited edition “Poseidon Green” amps and cabs. Serous GAS!!!, but I’m just a poor boy saving up for a cheep Bugera:unsure:. I want to get the surf green Fender hard case for the Tele, but paying more for a case than I paid for the guitar seems....hmmm. But that would be SWEET! I’ve got a few surf green patch cords, so start small!:p

I really like it- it sounds great, gets pretty loud. Has an effects send/return if you need (I haven’t used it yet, BUT I have that new DI effects strip :smug:)
Only has unbalanced line out, so in outdoor situations sometimes BL will just mic it.
Surprising versatility and tone for a 100W head- has 1/8” aux in WITH Volume control (for @Morrighan :thumbsup:) and headphone out, so you can just use the little head as a practice rig:cool: here it is!

No, it’s not a combo...but, it’s SO DARN CUTE:woot:
 
b90, you've become your own living soap opera. Next time, let us know before you post and I'll make everyone some popcorn! That combo might satisfy, but get ready for a raspy-sounding tweeter as that driver is usually the one that disappoints players most, especially if they are looking for smooth highs. That being said, my new MB has said tweeter and I'm not searching for cotton like I did with my CMD 121P. Please take a pic and post when you've got possession. I'll be interested in seeing it.
Yeah when I had the 121p for a day lol, the tweeter just had a hiss to it. It wasn't bad or anything, just annoying when practicing by yourself. I probably wouldn't hear it in a live situation. It did sound really good though, I just didn't give it a chance. Like I said I unboxed it, played it for about an hour, and sent it back. We are playing acoustic rock covers and will most likely transition to electric guitars in the future.

Sounds like a wonderful time. Even some INXS too! An under appreciated ground breaking band. I saw them perform in SF a few months before Hutchens died. He was an amazing performer.

It's a split combo. They are clearly designed to go together. Like my Eden rig.
