He did. He's our drummer (plays bass with another outfit) and gave me his gig pay last night. I cut him a deal....all good....

you could always replace the three point for a two piece..
Yeah. My Epi NR 5er is a 94 or 95(?). Seems to be some discrepancy.
I probably would myself, as much as I love the HS.
That's cool. Good that he stepped up since it wasn't your screw-up.

Hmm. Why would less neck=less lows? My '66 EB-3 was definitely not lacking lows. Is that because the 'mudbucker' was up against the neck? And my later Epi EB-3L didn't have the lows of the Gibby.
The pickup on your `66 was a huge over wound mud bucker as you say right against the neck, makes low end like no other combination. That pickup would overwhelm many amps of it's time. Not ranking on the Epi, but its pickup is nothing like the Gibson, and that's the big difference
Agreed. They were notorious for blowing speakers if you pushed too hard. But they were also so full that you didn't hafta 'dime' those old amps to be heard-and felt. I played some pretty good sized rooms with one of those piggyback Bassmans and the '66 EB-3.
I'll never learn.
Stupid thing weighs 138 lbs. First gig, we'll see if it's a keeper.

Thank you! With this weather pogo-ing up and down, my knees don't feel a day over 78. LOL! This was my 52nd trip around the sun.
We did about an hour and 20 minutes, 16 songs. We had a few guest vocalists; man, that was fun.
I hope it sounds good. Gotta love those 'refrigerator' handtrucks.

Ya gotta ham truck; you're good to go!
The one thing I dislike about my rig is the weight of my Hartke 410XL's. I have two of them at 85 pounds each, and they're short enough to be a big PITA to move. I got a folding ham truck from Harbor Freight that helps immensely, but stacking them is still painful!
is this it? 1200 Watts into 3 X10 Eminence.....very nice.....wonder if it's a Class D. 138 seems heavy..
Kustom Groove 310C 1200 watt combo amp 3 x 10" Tilt Back Roller
Non bass players don’t understand how much fun it is for us when people are dancing!

The scrounged PA from hell gets moved with one of those. It would not move at all without one.
I don't think there is anything Class D or "Neo" weight class in those Kustom amps. All heavy duty.
They're metric in Canada=100 cycle hum
Far fetching, as you can see I've caught up with the club, for the next hour or so
I enjoy the 80 cycle hum from my strat copy.

I will not use a 410. Ever. They were put on this planet for the sole purpose of killing bass players' lower backs. Give me a bigger cabinet and I won't care if it weighs three times as much. A folded horn is far heavier but much easier to move, for example.
I'm one who enjoys the simplicity of the 4x10, my swr Goliath II weighs around 90lbs, But damn it's worth it - haven't found another cab that sounds quite like it, even in terms of speakers. Something of those original PAS.
