Oh look, there is a rebate: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BA210v2

I am tempted to order one of these and send it to the barn.

Sweetwater may be cutting it close by Friday. American Musical may get it there by then. They are the one in NJ right? I haven't ordered from them in ages, but they used to get stuff to me in 2 days with regular shipping.

I saw that one - I think the 2x10 Ampeg at 450 watts would be more Barn-friendly for just $20 more. The GK MB series had reliability issues that they fixed but I don't know how old that 'un is...

Perfect for us...

Alright, bass amp ordered. It should be there by Friday...

@Guitar Heel heads up for a big box from FedEx.

This is exciting.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Well that escalated quickly.

I feel like a "Sweetwater Mystery Box" should be part of every HeelStock.

Send him the tracking number?

Send him the tracking number?

I will when it ships...

The PA probably doesn't have enough power to be adequate unless we all turn way down (which we should do anyway)...and we should probably get a set of those ProMark drumsticks to tame the drums down a bit as well...

There's been a couple Peavey TNT/TKO bass amps on craigslist up here but I have no way to get them to the barn...

Last year Chad's bass amp shit the bed on Friday night, and the rest of the weekend we ran the bass directly to the board. No Sansamp or anything. It seemed to work okay.

Your PA is a LOT better than mine...

Turns out, it was the speaker cabinet that shit the bed. I bought a head and cab at the same time. I always had issues with it, sometimes, I'd have to turn the amp on and off a few times before it would work, then at one of the trips to the barn, it stopped working and I thought it was the head. Bought a new head and the next trip to the barn, it died again so that's when I figured out it was the cab.

The weather is looking pretty good this year...

Friday 68/59, cloudy and stray showeres
Saturday 77/58 cloudy
Sunday 83/66 sunny

...maybe I can leave the insulated overalls at home this year...

I bought a barn jacket. No kidding, it's actually called a barn jacket. I'll wear it to... to the barn.

83 will be hot up there, but that'll likely be an early morning jam anyway.
