There is no flawless in improv/jam. There is only have fun and don't screw up so badly people make faces or flee.
If you must have flawless, it's not for you. But it is s totally different beastie.

I'm going to a jam this afternoon. No song list was provided, but I heard the singer wants to do "God only knows"!
100% chance of a trainwreck:)

I actually started mowing lawns and washing cars at ten and babysat for neighbors at twelve. I actually saved enough to buy my first bike, a '66 Suzuki 120 when I was in sixth grade. My first "real job" was stocking shoes at Kinney's as soon as I got my drivers license and I quickly became a salesman which I did through high school. There was always some kind of hustle, like playing in bands, to earn money for records, gas, and beer. I managed to save 2K toward a decent car for college. My parents were generous. But they made sure we knew the value of a dollar and that nothing came easy.

One of the first songs I learned to play:

I had forgotten about that song.

The PJB C-8 can be had for about 5-600 used.
PJB cabs are NOT light, but they are compact. The C8 is particularly well suited as it has a built in cart. Most are 8ohm.
Handles 800 watts admirably.
Goes low (35hz) and really clean clear highs without a tweeter.
Pushes a lot of air and has a good throw.

I've become convinced of the benefits of multiple drivers.

Another cabinet that is truly worthy of a look: Revsound VT 410 T
(vertical 410)

Only sold mine to get a mini rig o doom (PJB C8) the Revsound was a KILLER cab.

That is a 410 done right. It would not be instant back problems to move, provided it has wheels. Even if it didn't, it is still a far more reasonable shape than the usual mephistophes cube.

Thanks for the invite, but, I am actually terrified of this kind of thing. I'm not a schooled guy, and my list of cover songs I know is unusual, and mostly, unless a cover is about to be in one of my band(s) sets, I can't get from beginning to end without having recently practiced it a lot.

I'm just one of those players that masters the songs we write (or covers I'm interested in playing) and practices them until I can play them on auto-pilot.

Not having mastered Improv, jamming, and any kind of on-the-fly playing is the thing that will always keeps me considering myself as a "good", reliable, competent player but not great.

I am impressed with people who can play the same thing twice without wandering off somewhere.

Don't feel bad, I was and and likely more intimidated now by jams where I have no idea what will be played. I've learned countless songs over the years by ear, but don't like doing it on the fly.

It is new, right out of the box, that Frank! It sounds much like my Trace Elliott, it will take some time to sort the eq out to my satisfaction, but that's part of the fun! Right now it wants to make a lot of bass which sounds good in the upstairs bedroom, I need to dial it back a little and take it downstairs in prep for next week's rehearsal.



I have to defer to more knowledgeable folks on this, the model I have is an EVO-IV-300

Expecting a nice review after a rehearsal or two.

Thank you, I think you are a bit of an influence on me good Sir! I have a wonderful, very supportive husband as well - I am a very fortunate person.

I am stupid busy at work until Tuesday, after that I'll have some time to just sit with the Ashdown and a single bass, maybe downstairs with the 6x10.

Curious what it can do for you that your Trace Elliot doesn't.
