Macca is the richest pop musician of all time. Kind of cool that it is a bass player that is number one. I wonder how much his old Hofner would sell for?

I guarantee you that if he was here is using a pseudonym and using it to call the Rolling Stones a cover band or something.Wouldn't it be fun if he did? FL could ask him all about his Hofner before he springs for one!
See there is precedent! C'mon oh great exalted one!I'll second that motion!
But, I'm afraid, Michael, that our Fearless Leader has a policy of inviting members and not inducting them unless they accept, as you can see above. I'm not gonna hold my breath for Sir Paul to do that here, including getting a TB account, but I'd certainly like to see it if he does!
There is precedence for honorary celebrity members in other clubs without this policy, even by a quite likely looking number issuer(!). There was also another number issuer who inducted his favorite celeb bassist without nomination.
(BTW yes that would be you @iagtrplyr !!!)

Sort-of here
and grateful for that. Fully vaccinated and hit hard with a breakthrough infection. Just now coming around a bit. What this would be like without the vaccination is not something I want to dwell on. Am home, breathing well, stamina is shot, healing is well underway. Yikes it hit hard
And within an hour or two of the lab results today, took the long-awaited call — my Stingray is repaired after some seven? months in the queue. Supply chain and all. Paid by phone, and a friend picks it up for me Friday. I'm not leaving the house for some while, it might appear....

Great to hear your coming around and the Ray is on it’s way!
I’m a contact tracer in my semi retirement life. It’s out of control. Again. It’s only gonna get worse.
Be safe out there everyone!
Feel better @Morrighan
You take care of yourself.
Morrighan: Glad to hear you're on the mend. This is nasty stuff. I've been able to dodge it, but many friends and family members haven't been so fortunate.
Contessa! I thought you must be traveling since not hearing from you since Sunday. So sorry for your breakthrough! Glad you were protected to some degree. Best wishes for a swift recovery. Hopefully your StingRay reunion will help.

He was 18 at the time. I think wisdom would override any amount of patience today in that scenario.
Yes! That's what I do with the amps I build or mod, although I try to keep it 200 or under.
Yup. Ideally do something like this:

Played through this puppy at practice last night. Amazing at 100 watts. Was thinking about getting one till I saw the weight factor at 65 lbs.Ay yi yi!

65 pounds? ROFL!
Link Removed
I really need to revise that page, because I later bought a Peavey Heritage VTX (95 pounds).
Those were my guitar amps. It's so weird having a Rumble 100 that weighs far less than either of those.
Yikes. So sorry you caught it, glad it wasn't even worse. We have been really careful and my wife still caught it before the vaccines were available. Pretty rough. And we've known people who died and who almost did from it (all unvaccinated). We're fully vaccinated and still careful. If we needed incentives to be careful, my wife's clients (she's a doula) and my dad being 93 would do it.
Why? Well, in part so I can keep making music with my Thunderbirds through my Rumble 100 COMBO AMP! That thing ain't gonna make noise by itself.
My Rumble 100 weighs less than my Bassman 25, which weighs almost as much as my 200c.
Hello Sir, thank you for your invitation, that's nice! Sure, count me in! It is always good to have an opportunity to share insights, experience, recommendations, ideas about basses, gear etc. directly, not just being lost amongst the result amongst google search algorythm)) Should I provided some useful details as a club member, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
FN1, you are officially our 261st member, congratulations! As far as sharing any insight into our affection for combos (and bass playing in general), I say provide away. If ya hang around us enough you'll find out there's a wealth of information, storytelling, and general discussion about anything that makes us get to know you all the better. Yep, we try to treat you like a human as best we can, though I think some are possibly cyborgs!

I did. In fact, I offered to swap, even up, my Rogue for his 500/1. He said no. Then, he asked if he could join the combo club? I said no. We both agreed to call it even and signed off life-long friends.
Here's a link if you wanna know more about his stolen Hofner bass. The one he's used for the past last 50 years was his "newer" bass guitar. Funny, it's never turned up. I'm guessing GP has it in his garage behind a Peavey keyboard cabinet or something...
Trace The Bass: Paul McCartney's lost Höfner guitar
. No, it's not a Gibson/Epiphone.
In a word...no. But, if Sir Macca stops by with a pic of his combo, one that I've never seen ever because he seems to play separates, as far as I know, I will offer him a number and he'll have to say, yes. If confused, see G'dog's post. Michael, I'll give ya credit for trying! Go listen to "Mumbo" and you'll feel better.
Oops, forgot. At least i didn't say his combo was behind an Ampeg 8X10 cabinet!
