The Combo Club

... ... Dog, in my eyes you can do no wrong. I cannot find you guilty of anything but trying to emulate your Fearless Leader, and who can blame ya? I would too if I wasn’t already cast for the role.

One day, my compatriot, this will be all yours. You, one day, will assume the position of FL, holder of the sacred roster, and guy who gives everyone a ‘like’ even when you have no clue what they’re saying. Hang in there, buddy, ... ...

... ... :woot: I am beink Fearless Leader's heir, apparently! But, ... but, ... but, ... I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! Long live Fearless Leader! Long live Fearless Leader! :angel: ... ...

... ... At 300 new members, 1,000 pages, or June 2022, whichever comes first, we're going to have an election to nominate and vote for a new Fearless Leader. ... ... it was decided to have a full-fledged election complete with balloons, slogans, and under-the-table bribes. Hey, I may need to pay for those amp repairs.

Like in my fifth-grade class, we'll nominate those we'd like to see get the job (or if we truly hate them), the person will have to accept the nomination, and after we get a sufficient number to run (or one), we'll hold the election. ... ...


Vait! Vhat? I vas toldt I had dat position of power "beink inna da bag", as they are sayink! Now iss to be election?!? Vhat kind off dictatorship ... uh, ... mmm, ... I mean, .... Benevolent Monarchy iss diss?​

... ... I will reveal the winner, and at that moment they may take over the task of keeping this juggernaut afloat. Let's shoot for Tuesday, June 15, 2022, as our official Election Day. Vote early and often, there may even be cake.:hyper:

I'll keep ya updated after we head into the new year,

FL


Aha! Dat iss beink more likink it. Obwiously, Fearless Leader iss jokink to us, since June 15, 2022 iss beink a Wodensday and not a Tuesenday. Da, iss truth! Tuesenday, June 14, 2022 iss already taken to beink somethink called a "Flag Day". And vhat kind off day would dat be to haff an election??? Pshaw!​

OHH NOO !!

No worries. If no one is nominated, there will be no election and FL will be forced to continue. Being retired at that time, he will have all kinds of time to keep us informed (amuzed)...


Da! Iss beink no nominations, iss beink no election! And Most Revered Fearless Leader can revert back to his original appointment of a (possibly less benevolent) successor. Nyah ah ah! :mad:

I vote for this. Why is FL trying to weasel out of being FL anyway?


Even Benevolent Fearless Leaders iss beink entitled to a enjoyable retirement, no? (Especially after the billions of schmackeroons they have stashed in numbered offshore accounts.) Vhy not givink de guy a break?

Not saying this officially, but looks like you plucked the cream of the crop from the big list. There are a few I'd add, but it's a great list just the same. Doggie in the Window wrote and told me I've been holding down this fun fort for three years now. Isn't that like 21 in dog years? No wonder I feel like rolling up on the floor and taking a long nap. Long live the Combo Club!
 
Omg the stuff at that link is nirvana for combo club nerds! Can’t wait to dig in to the past! There’s a pic of a person who made a combo out of their bass case! Classic! who knew @Morrighan has and all night laundromat and drive in theater!?!?

Enjoy the Wiki! I always say, miss a little, miss a lot. Funny, I always seem to end up with Mrs. a little...
 
So the Combo Club was founded on March 22nd 2015!
And this is our clubhouse!
View attachment 4396006

Can’t wait to visit!
Rumor is the rooftop is cool!

It's an exact replica of the Abby Roads' studio rooftop, down to Ringo's yellow slicker. You're welcome.

what I'm hoping for is the federal infrastructure bill to get passed so we can finally add that Wonkavator I've been wishing for. You wouldn't believe how long it takes to get around the clubhouse...

Uhh...I was thinking of Australia's June 15th. Yep, that what it was. The hilarious part is that my birthday (you know, the biggest celebration of the year) is on the 13th! Let's just call it a week-long festival so nobody misses out, especially me. I love me some bass gifts! :hyper:
 
Pre-amp Out is how the jack is labeled on the rear of the Phil Jones BG-400 combo. The Fine Manual states it is used for driving a second amplifier.

What this tells me is I have enough amplification here for loud if need be. What's astonishing is how well it delivers the deep with 5 inch drivers ...
 
I'm a lucky guy, doc. Told #2 I may have to invest in three or four more amps just to make sure there's plenty of back-ups. I'll keep everyone posted though it's highly unlikely a bass head is as interesting in the Combo Club as a...combo? :smug:
Gotta say, the Elf combo with 8" speaker impressed me.
:thumbsup:

No, not a paid shill for TE.
:thumbsdown:
