Since this thread seems to have gone off the rails, here's a picture of the combo I bought for lunch.
However, a problem has surfaced.The auto-re-elect button has broken off in the on position, and the auto-re-elect button technician was buried yesterday and died because of it, so we all know what that election will turn into.Plus, by my account, there are only 50 pages of posts to go before the big one-thousand! That's a thousand individual posts, right? Hell, I'll snag 800 of those myself. Come on, folks, let's continue on this magical journey where you never know what's around the next corner.
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. During a conversation with my Sergeant-at-Arms, 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. I'll be calling on my friends at Dominion to transport a voting booth to the club to make it all nice and legal. After the count takes place by the private accounting firm I've been using for years, Accountaholics, Inc, 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.
I'll keep ya updated after we head into the new year,

FL to the rescue! Nice seeing ya 'Dome, it's been a while. As a former owner of a B2 combo, I can certainly tell you that your amp is stable to 4 ohms, which means you may hook up a second 8-ohm cab to said combo. The power rating for the single 15 is 200 watts, but if you add your Ampeg cab (and it's also 8 ohms), you'll bump up the power to 350 watts. So there ya go. To leave you, I'm including a pic of my B2 and my kid's GK 15" cab. I thought it sounded good, but it was a near 200 lb. haul whenever I used it. Good luck and enjoy!

In other words...life?
j7b, this thread is as normal as any other on any given day. What made it off the rails? BTW, was the beef tender?
swinky, your hilarity is gonna earn you this job in about ten months! I think you'd be perfect and want to begin tossing your name around at cocktail parties. Do I have your permission?
That's cool, jeffery. To help get back on the rails, how about a pic of your bass amp combo(s)?
.
Only combo I got left is my little Hartke HD25, which I love. It's the one in the middle.
Just put this configuration together today. There is still a combo in the mix - the Vox Pathfinder - which is hidden out of sight.

Right On.
That's the smallest, lightest, most mis-named-est, SWR Redhead combo I've ever laid eyes on
Been searching for an Ampeg cabinet to match the Ampeg B2 combo with the badge on the screen of the cabinet. Found couple 210 cabs that match,but too far away for a local pickup,and found 410 cabs also. Most of them too heavy and expensive to ship. Found this 115 cab,at GC,in Saginaw,MI. Shipping was reasonable with them,to my area. Looks like it has rat fur,mine is the tolex covering. Might consider taking the rat fur off,and paint the cab,we will see?
