I'm super impressed. Mine don't work so well when they aren't all plugged in. You got some serious mojo, Scott!
What decided you on each pedal?

I'm just using the Damnation MBD-1 and it's like Balls Incarnate. Very satisfying.

Lol the unplugged one runs on a 9 volt. The Big Muff I use for power chords, lead riffs and general mayhem at the end of songs, the Tube Screamer is a stack in the box in case I'm saddled with a clean sounding backline. The Whirlwind is a Dyna Comp, and the DOD Bi- Fet pre amp I use to bring up the level of weaker output basses, also doubles as a mild over drive. Lastly a Korg Pitch Black tuner.

Duh. Thanks for the heads up. Never knew how to do that either. Still learning this social media thing. My kids just laugh at me.

No orange basses, and the backpack does have a high viz orange stripe on the front .
I do correct typos and very occasionally edit for clarity, but not for 'I didn't say that -- see'
The bass closest to the amp looked orange in the photo. Is it white (or silver) and just reflecting the amp color?
EDIT: Never mind. I zoomed in and realized it's a natural finish, picking up just enough orange to make the whole thing look orange on the smaller photo.

I like their version. Musician friends from Wisco all know this song, all the words and it's played whenever they gather. I've joined them on bass a few times over the years. A classic.
For those of you who use practice/smaller amps (100W or less), what do you like and why/why not?
Also, are any of the smaller amps built into real wooden cabs any more?

Hah! My local dive (Winters) has a similar beam on my side of the stage! Luckily with a quartette I can move where your guitarist stands (away from the column!)

I have an Acoustic B20 (1x12" 30? watts) at home to learn songs on next to my computer and it actually has great tone! I've used it for small venue's and it holds its own. It was about $100 new and it's not made anymore but I've seen them used for peanuts. My main amp in the early days was a 70's Acoustic rig and I was pleased that their new iteration sounded so good! Not sure what it's made of though...
it's not a dive bar! really!....

nah,it's a dive bar all right but it's been a live music joint since the 40's..so little, a different (lots of musician patrons) vibe..It's an endearing term the way I use it...

Exactly - just like Winters that is around 100 yrs old!
It's the same old story - the place is old and has mostly been a 'biker bar' with crappy music for years. The current proprietors (for the last 7-8 years) love music, get it, and when they took over everything changed. The people who have the responsibility to manage/run the place make the difference.
