I see you are stuck between phases 2 and 3.... the next phase will be blue.
Go to the jailhouse without passing start?
Or, without passing GO, whatever the game is
. Welcome back from Mars...how was the trip?
Or, without passing GO, whatever the game is
Like a Martian knows how to play Monopoly. Sheesh.

I consider myself as an Universian.
At the risk of picking a nit, more likely a Makarov than a Luger.
Yes,Or, without passing GO, whatever the game is
Is there life on Mars?
Right there is that. In fact, I have never considered one of those, because I always figured not needing to worry about that stuff is one of the reasons to buy a combo!
Yes,
Is there life on Mars?
And if so, does it have superior intelligence compared to Earth? More importantly, is there takeout?
But, if the combo is sufficiently powerful, like my Rumble 500, you probably don't have to worry about an extension cab most of the time, if ever. In the 7 years I've had it I only connected an extension cab a very few times for outdoor gigs. And it wasn't even really needed then! But it's nice to know it's available if I ever really do need it!

I agree with The Dog on this one. I like knowing there's an ext cab output on my Stage 800 in the case I find myself needing it, but any time I've used the Stage in a gig it was the only one needed. One of these days though...
To me, that's the beauty of the combo amp. I love separates too, hence the current avatar, but I'm not crazy about multiple cabinets, an amp head, plus a pedalboard to play in a 700 sq ft classroom. Grab that lightweight combo and go. Even bringing your pedals is still less than hauling everything else, or buy a modeling amp and take it with you!
Isn't playing bass fun?
Good morning, M! Have a great day. I'm sitting here reading TB posts and mellowing on Joni Mitchell's "Blue" album. What a voice! Currently working bass on some Cat Stevens songs. Another distinctive voice that hits also happy nerve.
That's a great topic for the day; this second half of our county's birth: what are you listening to or working on, bass-wise, right this moment? Something you're trying to master or just having some leisurely fun with? Tell the Club and win a single Schmackeroon (to be placed into your account within the next sixth months and with a fifty-cent service charge).

Yes. One of the things I like about the separates though is the ability to mix and match. Combos always seem to get much larger as the power increases. Wouldn’t it be cool if a maker let you choose the head and speaker combination?I agree with The Dog on this one.

In any case I went with a Hartke 300 watt head. The last one Sweetwater had in stock. It was either that or pay just a bit more for another of the same Eden head I just destroyed. I figured why not get all the wattage my speaker can handle and try a new brand?

But, ..., but, ... Fearless Leader, sir, ... pardon, sir, but ... your Rumble Stage 800 can be runnink multiple cabinets! It can runnink two 8 ohm cabs!! Or it can runnink an 8 ohm cab and two 16 ohm cabs!!! Or even four 16 ohm cabs!!!! Heh, heh, heh.
Iss a wery powerful combo amp, the same size as Rumble 200 and just 4.5 lb.s more!
