The Combo Club

As a kid we chose from 8-, 10- and 12-ounce drinks. You could still often find the 6-1/2 ounce bottles in vending machines at gas stations. The 16-ounce bottle was introduced in 1955 but was rarely seen until the mid-60s. ... ... I mostly decline combos if I get roped into fast food drive-throughs.


 
If I owned a white rabbit plushy toy, I would put it on top of my combo amp everywhere I go.

/me needs a plushly white rabbit now

Easy to fix!

A unicorn rubber ducky lives on my pedalboard. First there was a bass player ducky, then a drummer ducky, but they both ran away with little kids. So far the unicorn has stayed with us.
 
"A wrong note played timidly is a mistake. A wrong note played with authority is an interpretation." - confuse us
.
Victor Wooten does a great demonstration of this. He solos along with a major scale groove and then hits the minor notes. At first it sounds wrong. But then he hits again and again and before you know it sounds just fine.

I have a pink sponge gator that used to guard the top of my amp. After the band (Gatorboy) broke up, our mascot had ranged around from place to place and ended up on a bookshelf.

My level of mental well-being does not allow me to accept a position with any responsibility, let alone grave responsibility.:wacky: The only form of government that can provide salvation is aristocratic anarchy with a pinch of despotism.
In other words if the FL gives up his position he will automatically be re-elected by the conflict in the anarchist regime which will archaically designate him as the new aristocratic despot. Problem solved.:hyper:

Yeah, but who’s listening to you? You’re not even willing to take on a grave responsibility where you might have to dig a hole and drop the body in. Sheesh, swink, what’s the point of living if you can’t be of service to someone? Regardless, I’ll stop dropping your name when discussing FL replacement. You coulda been a contenda, Kid... :bored:
 
I know we shouldn't be talking about Ampeg 20T heads here on CC but, FL may be interested in a used one for like $550. Too bad it's in Sweden and shipping is $130...

:bawl:

Ok, I feel better. It was a fleeting thought and one I may revisit at some point. My cart is already full for the holidays, no room for toobz. :whistle:
