USPS contracts with FedEx to use their planes to transport all kinds of mail, but we still process it ourselves.
Nice!!! Really, thanks for your service- Dad and uncle served in Navy. I was merchant marine in early 80s. Saltwater runs in family, yet I find myself in the High Desert here in AZ
I used to work for a contract mail hauler: Pat Salmon & Sons.
EDIT: I find it 'amusing' that people bitc...er, complain about USPS service. If they ever came back on the dock and saw the amount of[stuff]moved every day-and night, when I ran-they'd be amazed.

Mmm. Couldn't tell ya. My world ends where snow begins heading north from SE FL.
Looks like a significant presence of Navy crewmates here. No wonder there’s a strong leaning toward the compactness of combo amps.

I don't mind ice-as long as it's in a rink-or drink.
Ex-member of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club here. Coupla cruises on 'bird farms', 1966,1967.
I was at NCS Japan in Yokosuka for four years (prior to my time on DD-788) and “got” to take a few Seventh Fleet T.A.D. cruises on the USS Midway and the USS Oklahoma City (crew nickname: Benjo Maru), elbowing into the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club just once. It was a good experience but I was happy to move on. For a year or so around Yokosuka I was in a country band called the Stateside Ramblers, hence my user name.
I graduated from sonar A-school #1 in my class. Got to choose east or west coast. Gotta admit I chose east because west coast ships were still heading to southeast Asia. 
OK- you are the FL. Totally your call
C’mon!!!!....NOT a combo!!!!
(But a nice rig, nonetheless!! )
Touche', my bass-lovin' brotha. Nicely played!
You learn something new every day. Thanks, Rambler!
Sweet rig, west al. A little bit to drag around, but definitely a keeper.
'68, you are fine with an ext cab hooked up to a combo, no problem. I agree though, with Soul Reflection, you could mate similar 15" speakers to score the 200 watts and make an immediate impact on stage. The cab under my Terror Bass is the 1-15. It brings on some serious rumble!
Congrats to b90 on his NBD! Play that Markbass with a snarly attitude and enjoy it every day.
Yes, they do, C7. Now I need to figure out just how much plasma I have to donate to score the 115. Either that or thin the herd a bit. I'd love to play through one first though. Our only music store in town is an Ampeg dealer, but it's been so long since I've been there I'll have to Google the address!
Yeah, the wedge shape, though a great idea, is quite cumbersome to carry for more than five feet. And at nearly fifty pounds (I know, I'm spoiled) it threatens to destroy your shins with each step. I've some owners slap some wheels underneath, but it looks weird.
PT, go ahead and pre-order one of the new combos, put it on the club account, and let's make it the official combo at the clubhouse. M will vouge for the purchase.
YESSSSS...'68 for the win! Do it, TB, and you'll never think of the Bugera again. Bring one home, my man!
