Yeah. Two very heavy pieces to move as opposed to one. When they'd have us play in a different room, it was easier to bring the Kasino in for one night then take it back home.(I've had vans since 1970)

I've only had Vans since maybe 2010, but that's all I wear in shoes these days. When I bother with shoes. (I have cowboy boots, too, but boots aren't shoes.)

I *can* crank my Rumble 100 (1x12) but it's a sub-optimal idea, both from a hearing integrity and longevity standpoint (unless I'm in another room) and from a vibrating things off walls and horizontal surfaces standpoint.

It would be interesting to compare the two. The MB150/112 can get extremely loud and it runs at 100W without an extension cab. In smaller rooms, it's fine for a gig.

Why do you have a warhead?

I think he's in MST3K.

I’m in tears. Like I was when Bowie passed. Christine McVie passed today. I’ll be deep into a Fleetwood Mac rabbit hole for some time. May she RIP. One of the greatest of all time.

OK, I've only driven vans/minivans since 70-except for this(and similar).

That's a two man job going up, they slide down nice though.

When I had mine(mid 70s SVT/810 rig), it went on a 3 1/2' high stage for 50 weeks, came down for 2; went back up for 50 more weeks, down for 2; up for 50, down and sold!

I was 22 when I got my first one, I'm 69 now, just can't break that habit!

It doubles as a high power VHF transmitter tube tube.

When I was in college one of my roommates loved that show. I usually like oddball stuff but never had the patience to watch it for more than 2 seconds.

That would be a great band vehicle. It could fit an SVT, 810, and your Kasino.

A bit early for tube Tuesday.
Some 5 footer action.

I set an unopened bottle of water on top of my Grexa 360 for a gig once. Right in the middle of a song, my sound disappeared. I panicked of course, thinking the amp failed. Or maybe a cord. After a lot of scrambling around, I looked at the back of the amp, and there was the water bottle, tangled up in power cords and patch cords, resting on top of the on-off switch for the powered cabinet. (Unlike the original, the reissues have a power switch on the cabinet.) The water bottle had vibrated off the top and fallen down behind the amp, where it landed on the switch and turned off the power. That will never happen again, because nothing except the power conditioner goes on top of the amp ever again.

Couldn't happen like that twice!

I've got 600 right now.
And i can barely touch what it can do.
But i'm just an eccentric alien.

My Mesa M2000 is 650w with a twin-tube pre (my most powerful amp) - I never have the volume set higher that 9:00 and lately with our new drummers, we've been enjoying less overall volume and more nuanced playing. Last night Cherie said she can finally hear my bass-lines! (I'll have to tighten up my act in that case!) Kidding aside - I'm lovin' it. Breaking in two drummers who understand dynamics and err on the side of 'appropriate volume', or when live "playing (volume) to the room".
