I'm just a old musician, de-retiring. I've got an Orion. http://d108873.u27.infinology.net/images/scarface_399.jpg bassman10096 Advanced Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 218 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Thursday, March 11, 2004 - 10:11 pm:    Greetings reforming lurker!!! Welcome to the party. Nice looking Orion. Posting pix early on saves us all from listening to the droning of: "pictures...pictures...pictures...". Your description ("old musician, de-retiring") fits me too. Well, one thing I know for certain: They didn't have excellent extracurriculars like this Club when I was younger and playing actively. Hope to hear from you!

I must admit that this whole club is about de-ritiring. Alembic basses are the ultimate tools for de-retiring. Paul the bad one PS: this has a lot to do with marketing and segmentation. I my courses marketing (last year 3th year high-school) I ALWAYS worked with the Alembic example in "best-practice" examples. mint_bass Member Username: mint_bass Post Number: 57 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 5:11 am:    welcome to the club that was crafty posting pictures first as the group like to see the pictures your orion is very nice looking congratulations on coming out of retirement have fun playing again and welcome andrew lbanks Junior Username: lbanks Post Number: 11 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 11:51 am:    Thanks. I had thought about playing again for the past 4 years, but until I bought the Orion, I never made a move on the impulse. After I bought it, on Ebay, my wife said, "I guess you're de-retired; go get an amp." http://d108873.u27.infinology.net/images/mar12.jpg This is why I married her; she knows me better than I do myself.

After looking at your amp photo I think you're going to need some more speakers! That looks like some serious power.

Picture there is a Basson B15b cab, hidden behind the basses is a Acme Low B2 and a Legion Sound 2x10. The pre is a BBE Bmax. For power, I've got a QSC RMX850 bridged into the Low B2; everything else is powered by a Legion Sound PX-600. And she encouraged me to buy this stuff! Wotta Gal!! lembic76450 Junior Username: lembic76450 Post Number: 37 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 - 5:01 pm:    Larry, I'd like to add my welcome to the chorus.

"De-cloaking" and "Lurker" is that a double scfi reference or am I the lone nerd here? ;-) Court elzie Advanced Member Username: elzie Post Number: 297 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2004 - 8:25 am:    Welcome aboard old musician....., I mean Larry!

I just turned 51 and I've never felt younger....these instruments have a way of bringing out the kid in a person. Enjoy! lbanks Junior Username: lbanks Post Number: 15 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Friday, March 19, 2004 - 6:46 pm:    Hollis: You and I are in agreement! When younger, I'd never been able to afford these toys. bassman10096 Advanced Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 243 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Saturday, March 20, 2004 - 11:17 pm:    It's nice that sometimes age can bring a little more financial capacity. When I think of the rough rigs I played through when I was young - I'd have croaked for a chance to play with what I've put together now... lbanks Junior Username: lbanks Post Number: 16 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2004 - 4:28 pm:    Yeah, sometime I just look at it and wonder if having decent equipment when I was a working musician would have changed anything. Then I say naaa! We would have still blown-up, anyhoo!
