If that's a criteria, I think I may be in...
Not that I'm invited to hang with the cool kids
You're more than cool enough for us, RR. Now if you were only lefthanded...

Hey there, D, thanks for showing off some true vintage gear here at the club! that's an original, folks, not a Fenderized version. Let me know if you'd like a membership number to our little hideaway here for combo lovers. You've already done what one must to be a member; post a pic. I haven't given out a number lately so I hope you'll consider it. Thanks again for stopping by!
Okay, after I finished giggling at my own terrific brand of humor, I realized that, besides the fact I love the Ampeg museum pieces that still bring it, you got yourself a beautiful redhead. Grrr! There are more knobs and switches on that thing than a jet fighter. I hope you go through each one of them to make sure they work. Looks pretty nice overall, but please, my OCD is begging you to get the vac out and pull up all the stuff tangled in the rat fur!
Great picture, by the way.
And...how'd it do? Or do you suggest I continue reading downwards since I was tardy today?
WBB, I wanna believe you so badly, but part of my brain, the realistic part, is saying, "What?" to itself. Volume I can see, but you actually got some bass out of that pipsqueak? The OD I can believe because the amp was probably hanging by a thread and it was screaming for you to stop!
Please change my mind, sir!
I was thinking the same about the chair! It looks great.
Your combos are nice too!
Hmm...you and SR both went after the chair joke, while I used the stand. Interesting. What's that say about our personalities? Do I want to know?
And here's a third different path to the joke...nicely done!
The minute I posted the pic.... I saw that coming
I should notice it more often
Hey, try and tease us with a question and you're gonna get an American pie in the face! thanks, swink, you've made my day so far.
And yet another one...the missiles are flying in at a rapid pace today!

The Rumble 100 didn't come home with me. I do return to the shop [some time] to pick up my Stingray [when the parts ship — mostly replacement bits for the bridge, I trust]. The Kodak moment is the realization I just pulled off a bar of tuplets of descending tritones on a whole tone scale. The oh wow I did that right moment.
Let’s discuss some of the finer points. The OD sounds delicious at low volumes. Turn it past 3 and it immediately sends out a horrible screeching sound. This is true whether it’s bass or guitar.WBB, I wanna believe you so badly, but part of my brain, the realistic part, is saying, "What?" to itself.

Played at low volume with my SS Stingray it’s got a pleasant bass sound and can keep up with a single acoustic guitar. That’s all I can vouch for. I would never bring this to a gig unless it was to do something weird like mic it up for some unusual effect. Which may actually end up being awesome now that I think about it. Maybe add some reverb and delay? I did just buy a Keely Canyons last night.
The others come up when all I wanted to post was the one song. I guess it just picks up from wherever I started. Old Time R&R was through the Kasino; the others-different day-were through the Kustom 150 that went away after I got the R200c.Great job to the guy who never listened to the song's bass line before! You had a lot more movement than the original recording did. If I remember, it was pretty much a four-on-the-floor, 1-4-5. Yours had some bounce to it, GP. To me, there's where your previous musical training really pays off, especially if you're not trying to copy the original. Anyway, wearing those nifty Hawaiian shirts pretty much rules you out of being a down-to-the-note tribute band unless it's dedicated to Jimmy Buffett.
BTW, Foggy Mountain Breakdown was excellent too! I'm too young for Wagon Wheel though...
Oh, certainly. I am only saying I've tried the guitar combo for my bass and didn't find it satisfactory. Not implying that anyone else should do as I do.
Ah, but now I've chopped my long locks. Back to hanging with the freaks and geeks.
My left hand exists and is good for fretting notes on guitars and basses. Does that get me some credit?
