The truck is mine. I'm so stoked. One less bill to pay. One more step towards going back to school. Yeah for me!
 
Congrats Tom.

Get a Berg or two.

In fact I know a guy that has a Berg HT210 and an HT115. He wants to sell the HT210 and buy another HT115 due to a recent facination with 15s.

PM me of youre interested bro.:D

I have settled, on Bergs. No better cab for me. Ive just been in love with that 1x15.

Plus I want Tom to try the Berg stuff, and figured I could save him a couple hundred bucks over buying new.

You sure are one to talk lately. How many different things have you decided to buy, and then not buy in the last three days?

Youre worse off than I am. Sorry, its fact.

Yes. Yes you did. I'm going up there to play one next Saturday if it's still there.

Do you want these D'addario Chromes?
 
Gotta be a good feeling Tom!! Congrats. I don't think I've ever paid off a car loan all the way out before...either traded them in for a "new" payment with rolled over negative equity or just bought em cash.
 
Oh, and there was that one repo back in the 80's too....kept that repo man at bay for months but finally got tired of parking it like a mile away and walking home at the end of the night one night...got lazy and the fugger popped it that night!!

Damn da repo-man!!

I was into these dudes before anybody. Used to party with them all the time..they asked me to be the manager.I called Bull$hit on that!
 
I paid off my 99 Honda Accord a few years back.

We paid of Erika's 2003 Toyota Highlander this year.

No car payments.....that rocks.
 
Congrats Tom! Enjoy the extra money…. For a little while. ;)

I paid my truck off years ago and it still is going strong, love me truck.


And speaking of the Berg’s I hooked my wind controller gig up to the MarkBass/Berg HT112 rig the other day. I was blown away, outside of the Bose PAS, this setup sounded very, very good. I have a killer cello model and the Berg did very nice things for the lower register, the Bari sax benefited too. I figured the higher pitched instrument models might not fair as well, but I was pleasantly surprised. The high were very natural sounding, smooth and clean, it’s hard to explain. But after my many years of trying to monitor keys and synths, I can honestly say Bergantino cabs work great for keys too!:D
 
Paid off the '00 Dodge Dakota last November. Karen and I are paying on her new Jetta and my Honda VTX 1300C, and I'm keeping the Dakota garaged just for gigs to save gas money (which is going into the Honda payments).

In three years, we'll have no vehicle payments at all...looking forward to it!

Congrats Tom! :cool:
