Wow! Too cool. I know the sound of mine alone. That would be earth shaking and really cool looking to boot. And he has the covers!
BTW, I still have the info on the module from last year. I wonder if it ever sold.

Hey, LJB, how are ya? Curious minds wanna know if you thought the 500 was so good, then why did you end up selling it in favor of the 200 (which, according to GP, is a great combo)? Did you like the combination of the 115 with the 210 vs. a 410 setup better?[/QUOTE

Just got the R200 this past Christmas. Love a lot of low end when I jam Spoonful on the low E.

Don't even want to know what it weighs lolol.

This is the predecessor to my Rumble 100 - A Laney Linebacker L50B. With a torn speaker cone not giving a very nice sound and the electronics playing up, I decided it was time for a change. Hopefully, I'll be able to look after my 2 Rumbles better but I did have the Laney for something like (from memory) 25 years. View attachment 4329099

RB, it's definitely time to retire that linebacker and place it in your combo amp hall of fame, tape and all. I have yet to have a single piece of equipment hang with me for a quarter-century, so that proves not only your loyalty to the product but Laney's commitment to building something that lasts. Inspiring!

I guess I'm in the minority here. The Kasino has now been in my possession 51 years, the P____ KB300 since 84(?), and the Bassman 25 since 2000. If it works-and isn't a 'Peg(they just ain't right-for me)-it stays.

And this is why you are our club's bloodhound tracking down whatever gets mentioned. That's a great deal on the pair, and OMG, have you ever seen two cleaner pieces of kit, especially at that age? Don't believe me and too lazy to go look? How's this? GP, you better grab the pair right now! Any New Yorkers out there? C7, aren't you from 'round those parts?

If $ allowed, I'd get 'em just for the historical aspect. Dunno if they'd ever get used, but, dang!

I had to sell it is the only reason why. Financial hard times and was booted by the band. You see, I played too much bass. It isn't like they didn't know what they were getting. Lolol. Hello, I love JB. When I thru in an extra riff adding flavor to our 3 piece blues band, he accused me of playing lead.... Oh well.
I actually like my R200 on its own the best. The 15 is sweet on the low end. But I don't play out where the 2x10 would better come into play. No idea about the 4x10. I wasn't crazy about my previous Ampeg 4x10.

Thanks for getting personal with us, I didn't mean to put you on the spot like that. I figured that was a possibility because once someone says how much they loved a piece of equipment only to get rid of it, it tends to be money-related or they're just weird like me who does it all the time.

First, most three-piece bands sound great when the bass player takes some liberties in adding their own flavor to the songs. Your guitarist must have had an incredibly large ego! No loss there. In time, find another three-piece, but this time tell your guitarist mate that you hope he or she likes a moving bass because you're not sitting on the root all night.

A correction, when I wrote about the 410s, I didn't mean a single cab but the combination of a 210 cab with your 500, thus bringing the count to 4 ten-inch speakers. Personally, and I know it's politically wrong, I like the combination of a 115 with a pair of tens. I think it helps to go with the same brand/line of speakers, as with the Rumble line, but I love the sound of it all. I don't think we're alone in that thinking either.

May you lose your power cable on your PEAVEY and be forever forced to use the amp as a doorstop...

At that updated price, someone better take those two off the owner's hands. It'd be like saving a dollar a day and having them paid off in under a year and a half. Now the delivery cost will be for another day and math solution.

That's a portion of the problem. They wouldn't fit in the gigmobile. I'm not even certain the extension alone would.

Not likely(self contained/hardwired).

and @LoveJackBruce

in a fairly recent Zoom the topic of not making enemies of your drummer came up. Which is when I happen to make a bon mot about Jack Bruce
and is quickly pointed out to me that those three guys sound a lot bigger than three guys because a certain drummer is doing something completely different from a certain bass player

so seen.

Politically wrong to use different size speakers? Horse-feathers! Word has it that if they are Fender Combo speakers they are fine and, I aint talkin' no politiks any mo....

Always have a good comeback. I should’ve counted on that!

FL - we may need to create a new COMBO-HERO-PIN for our Mars returnees

Yed, I'd like to hear from everyone...speak up, membership. What do you like or want?

Then, 'Dog, after they've raised their voices to fill our ears with opinion, let's go with what I'm currently digging, and that's a mini loving cup with a micro padlock on it! What do ya think? It, to me, says we are champs (not Fender ones though) and are locked in the CC forever! Let's do it, wise photo magician!

I was thinking something more heraldic. Think a shield with a bass an amp and a combo lock some where with the saying on a banner draped over the top.

Maybe iss sumpsink liking unto diss new prototyped cup dat ve are arrivink at now? I know can't please all de peoples all de times, but SHEESH!

I’m willing to agree with their point that the particular band you’re speaking of had a rhythm section that spoke different musical languages (to my ears) at times, but then I look at my favorite three-piece, Rush, and as the years went on Geddy and Neil became a singular unit that you could hear playing in sync.

Feel free to offer up other trios that worked the same magic.

I don’t about the rest of you, but I love it! That may have to become a new laptop screen image today. Sweet work, 007!

I like ‘em, but that’s for another time.
