Congrats, Datsgor, that’s really neat to hear. I could see that combo being the perfect rig partner to your bass. My only question is what if you were asked to take the PA to the next gig?
maybe this @iagtrplyr ?

So I finally found *the* opposite of my Ampeg 18” extension for one of my Markbass combos, and it ended up being a SWR 210t. I was always a tweeter hater, but for this purpose of running all my Hifi effects through this and only using an alembic fx1 with the Ampeg 18 ext now.
Radial Twin Cities pedal for life.
Edit: for those wondering around Christmas of last year I was able to get two JMB player’s school combos for $275 each from Guitar Center because they ran a stupid sale on the new ones and get inundated by Covid trade ins. That’s how I started playing with bi-amping and stereo bs

Wow, I think I paid as much for one of those as you did for two.
Me again. Can I also interest you in a membership number after blasting some vintage Fender amplification on our pages? I think it's time to make it official, Datsgor, what do you think? Let me know!
Okay, some membership housekeeping is in need, and since I'm the one holding the broom...
Datsgor, an ultra-reliable source tells me you're not only on my list once, but twice, and that is correct according to my lousy accounting. How good is your source, FL, you ask? He makes a higher club salary than I do! So I eviscerated him at #97 (it wasn't as painful as you might be thinking) but kept him at the original spot of #35. That's an early bird, no doubt. That means our next member, whoever the lucky devil is, will don the 2-5-7 as their new number. Could it be...you? Maybe, if you post a pic of your combo and give me the sense that you want in.
Okay, that wasn't so hard, was it? except for the eviseration=thing...that was totally unnecessary.
Incredible, I just posted the next number, and here's the guy to grab hold and run with it! R2B, YOU are officially now our 257th member of this incredible club. Congratulations, due to the fine pic you sent us, you deserve it! Don't forget to add us to your sig, thus allowing free bragging rights and the chance someone new might get the hint!

In America, I use those exact same words, swink, when I'm conversing with my five-month-old granddaughter. It can be quite a compelling discussion, I must say.
Ask and, sooner or later, you'll be sent an answer. Thanks, Michael!
09, nice hearing from ya. Man, you've got a lot of equipment in that picture! Interestingly, I bet that doesn't sound too bad at all. Though I personally don't plan on multiple amps. if I did I'd grab a Radial too. Never heard a bad thing about their products. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by.
Sure man. Sounds good.Me again. Can I also interest you in a membership number after blasting some vintage Fender amplification on our pages? I think it's time to make it official, Datsgor, what do you think? Let me know!
Yeah, I know, I'm hogging all the bandwidth right now, but a terrible thing happened in my music room/lab last night and today, and I'm depressed. The Orange Terror Bass bit the dust. Yes, it's true, and I'm trying to figure out what happened. The last time I played it, back in early July, I think, things were fine. Yeah, it still made that awful bang upon startup and shutdown, but I'd just gotten used to it.
Last night I finished up hooking up the new Vox pedal, which sounds way better than I remembered from a few years ago, flipped on the Terror Bass, lights came on, turned up the gain, turned up the volume, hit a note from my P-bass, and...nothing. What's going on here? I expected sound and was rewarded with silence. It's never done this before, so I went through the usual checks before realizing it wasn't on my end of the business. I took it out, hooked up my Markbass Marcus Miller combo to check the Rumble cab, and all was well. I went to bed thinking I'd look further into it this morning.
After splashing on a little Aqua Velva for good luck, I proceeded to open up the amp head and what do you think I found? A milky-white 12AX7 preamp tube in V1. It was my brand new Tung-Sol too. Sadness abounded, but I put it down as a bad tube that cracked upon shut down the last time I played. At least that's what I read can happen. Uh-huh.
I replaced the tube with the amp's original Ruby, known to be a rather hardy valve itself. I was feeling that splashing on the old man cologne was a stroke of genius, and I'd be on my merry way. Pulled the MB off the Rumbler and re-hooked the Orange back up. Clicked the toggle to 'standby,' waited for a half-minute or so, clicked to 'on,' and with the mighty Precision around my shoulder, hit a big ole open E and...nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. No sound.
Maybe it wasn't the tube after all. Maybe something caused the tube to blow. Hmm...
Off to the Orange website where I found the means to contact them, explain the problem, and wait for a response. I received one shortly thereafter and they're looking into it. She's gonna be jumping on that big brown truck, I'm sure, off to parts unknown (probably Chicago). Hopefully, it won't take too long. Normally, a one-year warranty is the standard-issue unless you register within a set period of time; then it's two years. We've been together now for 16 months, and it's never been severely cranked or even out of the house! I pray it's a one-and-done before I sell it to Morrighan for half of its retail price...
The moral to this story is ya never know what can happen so don't get too upset over it, and is, to my ears, that solid-state is so damn good-sounding, what's the point of adding tubes to the preamp? I like the tone of the Terror Bass, no argument there, but I still like my Rocket Bass combo better! Yes, my ears are tuned to Ampeg maybe, but there's nary a tube in sight and it's not going in for repairs this week!
Off my rare soapbox of complaining about defective equipment. Have a nice afternoon,
FL

Keep reading, D. It's illegal for me to add you to the membership THREE times in one lifetime. Sorry. You're number 35 and should be proud that you've been around longer than me!
Here's the current membership roster for those who wish to see themselves in lights. Feel free to check for errors, all you bean counters out there. Proud of this list regardless of how many times Datsgor was on it!

Two bits: I plug my bass into my combo. Turn on combo. Play. Joy.
RR, I counted four bits, but that's only because I'm working now. A couple of months ago I wouldn't have bothered. Maybe I can agree to three and we'll skip the joy part, but that's my best offer.

Well, wouldn't ya know it...just at the time I was considering tapping into my 401K for some tubey goodness, I hear this!
Vintage tube amps, current (mortgage requiring) offerings and tube preamps are now out the window.
Well, at least I know Aqua Velva doesn't work so there is always Old Spice or English Leather
.
Considering that I can buy another R100 for ~ what it costs to retube a lotta amps, I'll be sticking with solid state (which I can also lift without running for the AdvilTM.Well, wouldn't ya know it...just at the time I was considering tapping into my 401K for some tubey goodness, I hear this!

Actually, old Spice is my fave, but only with solid state.
I was just looking at some TalkBass threads on Terro Basses and found one where the guy says there are two small fuses on the bottom that could be looked at. That's the one panel I didn't remove. either way, if something popped the fuse I'll still want it looked at. I am curious though. Unfortunately, my track record on curiosity isn't as good as I'd like it to be. Maybe I'll wait for Orange.
SR, play it safe and pick up a tube pedal for your combo. Easier to deal with in the long run. Or instead, just enjoy your Studio 40 and giggle every time you read about a tube mishap.
