what exactly does a cab do?

hmm i don tkno how to spell it, feening? , phoenin?, feenin?, .. but ya.. the guy was a dumbass who was "pheening" for coke

Do you mean "fiending" as in inverting the slang of "coke fiend," "smack fiend," or "cookie fiend" to "fiending for coke," "fiending for smack," or "fiending for cookies?" (Terrible English, btw....)
 
Or maybe "fencing", like selling stolen goods?

Uhm.... I'm not sure what you mean about "not needing a cab except for gigs" - it's either a combo amp (amp and speaker in one box) or just an amp - if it's just an amp, it won't make any sound w/o a speaker, whether it's at a gig or in rehearsal.

We could answer this question and others in the future in a better manner if you used common usage English and if you would also include model numbers/names of whatever gear you're trying to find out about.
We're all guilty of a little bad grammar but at least we aren't normally using words no one else has even heard before.

As near as I can tell so far you bought an amp with a built in speaker and are wondering about whether or not you need an extension cabinet?

Help us out here a little! Pictures are always good too! :p

Bob Marley would be heartbroken and probably well pissed if he realized that he's become a hero to white suburban middle class stoners.

The people who believe that he stood for them getting high and partying have never listened to enough Wailers to get close to understanding what they were about.

Pathetic.

okay first of all welcome to the forum, i'm not going to chime in with some stupid remark okay. In reading this I am confused and It seems that you might still be. You bought a 200W peavey amp, but you said that you wouldn't need cabs until you play gigs. What you buoght, does it make sound by itself (ie. without anything extra) or is it just the box to power something else? I'm thinking you either bought a nice sized combo amp or a separate dedicated amp. If its a combo, in that it has speakers built in then you would not have a need (or use i think) for separate speaker cabinents.

First of all, I am italian, not white. Second of all i am not middle class. Third of all I am not a huge hardcore stoner, just an occasional one. Fourth of all I do understand marleys down to earthness with his music and his thoughts about life, so don't judge me. Shut your mouth. Seriously tell that a kid that you can actually see face to face, and not just type your @#$ about. @#$%^ @#$ @#$%^.

Hey Corky. Italians are white. Ask me, I am one.

It's the American version of NTB, how piledrivingly heavy!

I like that NC is insulted first by my calling him white (which he is), second by calling him middle class, and only third for calling him a stoner (only occasionally).

Unfortunately, on the internet, we only have your words by which to judge you. So, I go on what I can read, maybe its time to pay more attention to what you write?

Yup. You're right...but its one of the big things that drives me nuts.

Dooooood. Marley was all about getting stooooooned.

Forget militant politics and openly religious/spiritual songs, its all about the drugs.
Yes, you're spot on actually. I agree entirely - I just saw this pic the other day and though it was hilarious for TB purposes. Could apply to me on many occasions!

No offence meant, hence the after horse smiley. ;)
