The Combo Club

That Peavy is an awesome combo! It has a “Presence” knob! I love that! And an “Edge” knob! A “Punch” knob. A “Clarity” knob. I want those knobs lol. I betcha it weighs a ton!
Is that a Hartke 4x10 with the head pulled out and a Sans amp put in?
It weighs a ton for sure but you can’t beat it for reliability! I wish the Hartke had a Sans Amp in it, it’s actually a dreaded Behringer Bass V-Amp that I don’t use much but enjoy occasionally.
 
No one else will ask, but I’m dying to know. Which bass did ya choose? My vote is the LP.

They is a shame though. I wouldn’t work for them again unless they could prove the venue was friendly to 120V electricity.
I gave serious consideration to the LPB2/5, but b/c it's my least played-and heaviest @9#-chose to take the TBird(and backup EB-0), neither of which came outta their cases. It was nice we were across the road from the RR tracks 'cos this was a effing train wreck(or :poop: show).
 
It is a Pioneer Tuner. Good eye! 100 watts if I remember correctly. Flywheel tuning I believe that one had? I used that as a power amp to listen back to tracks I recorded on my multitrack cassette machine. That pic was actually 1986. That was my 1st cassette multitrack machine. I've had many multitrack recorders since. That one was an "AMR System 1" four track machine. It was made by Peavy. They say their were not many made.

I also had a pair of TOA studio monitors in that room that I loved and had for many years.
I had a Roland TR-505 drum machine because I was living in an apartment and couldn't play the acoustic drums there. (I hated that machine)
That's a the 1st gen Sony CD player. Cost me $350! I got one the 1st year they came out. Not many CD's available. That machine lasted me 20 years! Built like a tank!
And that is my Ventura P-Bass copy. My first bass I acquired when I was 14-15? 1975-76? It had a gorgeous sunburst finish that I painted over black. Why!?!?
Oh and those are Kool Lights lol. I started smoking at 12 but started smoking Kools in the army when I was 17 in 1978. Had that habit for almost 25 years. Much healthier since I stopped smoking 24 years ago.

A wide shot view.

That was mislabeled. It was more like 1978-1979? You may ask Michael Favata why Mike M? I use my birth name in forums. My adopted name begins with an M. That's the Traynor cab and Mono Block behind me. That's the small fro. I usually had a huge fro.

That was an awesome bass! That's the Traynor Cab in the studio behind me. Just a monster!
Really cool stuff! Do you still have that Herman Miller Eames chair?

So which was it, trainwreck or :poop: show? Or perhaps, it was both? The worst part was ya didn't get paid!

Sort of a 'sub-contractor' situation. The BL was p/o'ed, gave us each $20 "gas money". Not his fault, but I'll bet he'll check things out more thoroughly in the future.
 
Just as well. There are different types of generators, some can destroy your electronic equipment pretty quickly.

What you want is a inverter generator that delivers clean power. You also need someone who knows good from bad.
Yeah, with what little we get paid, I ain't springin' for no genemerator.

This club is awesome! I’m still reading through from the beginning and it may take me a while but so far I dig all the pictures! Just got myself the next best thing to my first combo which was a Peavey TKO 65. I found a Combo 300. Eventually I’ll get another TKO. I’d like a number please.View attachment 4448596View attachment 4448597

I already like this guy. He thinks the club is awesome (which it is) and loves the pics (which he should). Check out G'Dog's wiki page on us, unless you're already there, for everything you want to know about the CC and a few things you'd rather not!

You asked for a number, TOT, and your request is granted. You are now our 2623rd member of this prestigious club. With it usually comes a new car, Rolex watch, and year's supply of your favorite bass amps, but because of this horrible transportation snafu at the harbors, all we can offer you is our sincerest thanks for your interest, the great pics of your gear (the vintage Peavey will stoke some hearts here), and your enthusiasm. Add us to your sig and don't forget to help us recruit more combo lovers. Thanks again!

Much appreciated I will wear it like a badge of honor! No need for gifts I have everything I want now!:thumbsup:
 
Ha ha! Found a pic of the old TKO 65! You can barely see it over the drum kit but there it is in all of its Peavey glory! It was used in my first band Losing Teeth, punk rock of course.

Wait. There’s a wiki on the combo club? How is this not pinned to the top of the TB home page? Where can I find this treasure trove of info on the best part of the internet?

@Miles_ONeal I don’t have that chair! Kicking myself! I found that in the garbage! The part where the chair went in to the base was worn out and it was too wobbly. With the wisdom of age (and a little money) I would have kept the chair and got a new base! I don’t remember what I did with that Traynor cab I wish I still had that. The 18” speaker I pulled out and traded to a friend for something of which I have no recollection. He built a cabinet and put it in there. I do still have the heavy duty clips that held the speaker in place.

G’Dog is the creator of said information paradise and official record of the club. He’s been at it since this group shifted gears and took itself more seriously. Pretty much everything we’ve ever said, displayed, or discussed, gear-wise, is recorded for posterity. It’s a marvel of technology and one of our club’s jewels in the crown.

That, and GP’s garage door...;)

Yo! Toddly! Any relation to Thor? I know, as a third child, I was left out of lots of stuff, too.

Your Combo Club Wiki page is a compilation of the most important CC bidness and pleasure topics contributed by our members (and others). The Fearless Leader section will introduce you to His Excellency. And other sections are also linked in the Table of Contents near the top of the page. But, if you like our photos, checkout the Combo Club Pix! section for a total combo visual overload.

Todd, as a new member, you might start with a tour of the Combo Club Clubhouse section, but only after donning your CC Communicator Badge! In addition to instant voice contact with other members, it gives you electronic access to all the best parts of the Clubhouse.
