The Combo Club

you know every good SyFy aficionado understands that most alien invasions either begin or end somewhere in or around some remote part of Scandinavia!!! Be careful my bass playing brother! (And gives us all a heads up when the …. hits the fan ok!?)
I'm not a Scandinavian.... I'm a Belgian with a Swedish translator tool :woot:
 
Yeah, and once they realized who he was they threw him out. Scandinavia’s loss, Zimbabwe’s gain.
I will accept this as a compliment, I think? :confused::)
Me: "Mom, can you take a look at what they write here about me?"
Mom: "Just look in front of you and keep smiling, and definitely don't challenge them, because they are the only friends you have."

I definitely would, plus we all know you can think, ya big 'ole thinkologist, you! Anyway, I hear Zimbabwe is nice this time of year, but feel free to continue terrorizing the Belgians if you want to. ;)
 
I thought the sandwich got me in! lol OK sign me up!

jeff7bass, my sincerest apologies for taking so long to get you signed up to our club. For some reason, I thought I'd given you a number when all it was was a section of numbers. Sorry about that. Today though is different. You are now and will be forever member 258. Please place that in your sig and tell all of your friends (and some of your enemies) about us. We'd love to have another 42 bass-playing combo lovers join us.

Thanks again! :hyper:
 
Electrical sockets and plugs at Home and around the World are usually reminiscent of a stick-figure representation of “The Scream” :woot:

it also reminds me of this Simpsons gem. Always.

But Belgium might be the starting point of alien invasions after all - the Atomium is no coincidence! :)
Reporting back to our FL and all fellow combo cadets - we made a reverse invasion this WE from Brussels to Reims :D lots of champagne tasting and filling up the trunk with bottles :smug: landed back safely at the alien hub :thumbsup:

Argh, though you Europeans are so interesting from a western point of view, it’s also a great challenge too. I mean, the champagne, filling up trunks, hub landing, donning women's clothing just for fun...never boring!

BTW, how would you play this bass in Europe? :smug:

My Orange Update: The Plot Thickens!

Last Sunday, I sent to Orange my request for assistance to get my amp looked at. I immediately received a confirmation that they would be in touch. No such thing.

So last night I emailed the gent who informed me of such a confirmation and he apologized for no one assisting in my time of need. He also wrote ‘Kaelin’ would be taking over from here. Not to have to wait any longer, I launched a preemptive strike with a note and attached pics. I think I found the problem AND I don’t believe it’s my fault.

As you can see, I have a cap that is opened up like a can of PBR at the Moose Lodge on a Saturday night. The other large cap to its right also looks to be opening. Is that normal? I’d assume not. Check out the other pic of the smaller caps; all tightly sealed. Maybe it happened because of the loud on and off pops, or vice versa, who knows?

All I know is I’m ready to ship it off to wherever to dry it properly repaired and then to forward it to Morrighan’s secret island chateau for the low used price of $3.00. Yep, that’s it. I’m done, moving on. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Orange...

That's not a fuse :rollno:
 

I’d have preferred your bass to that game. I know the Bills will get better as the season goes, but Josh’s passing was off and defense, who was magnificent in the first half, couldn’t counter Big Ben’s second half adjustments.

Other than that, fun day. I mixed a recording throughout it so it wasn’t a total loss. But don’t get me started on the Titan’s game! :rage:

Nope. That’s what I was looking for when I took off the underneath cover. They were both fine. My guess is the two output caps were bad to begin with or deteriorated over time. I bought it as a blem, if you remember, but it was supposedly because of a slight scratch on the faceplate. Maybe there was more to it than that. I’ll keep ya posted.
