Well, it's been a few years since the last offical GTG. So this time we're going to do it a little different.

Where? - Singletary Rod & Gun Club
Located on 300 Sutton Ave. Oxford, Ma. 01540
www.singletaryrodandgun.com/ (http://www.singletaryrodandgun.com/)

We'll have access to both indoor (if it rains) and outdoor. There is bar, so be sure to bring your ID if you plan on drinking. there's also a pool table.

When? - August 20th. Yes, it's a Sunday, but it was the only day that was available.

Food? - Burgers, hot dogs, ribs, chips, potato salad, soda. If there's anything you'd like to bring, by all means, please do.

Bring your rear, bring your gear, grab a beer, and have a good time with the rest of us!!!

I'm not sure of what time it starts yet, but either Funkster or myself will chime in with more details as we know.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to shoot me a PM, or email me joe@bassnutz.com

I hope to see you there!!!

(Could a Mod please sticky this?)

This is like 10 minutes from my house.

So, does that mean you'll be there?

I'll see about getting a ride- my wife's having ankle surgery two weeks before then, so she won't be able to drive.

Yeah! I would like to go. What could be more fun than basses, guns, and booze!

The only thing that may stop me is some unscheduled VK time, but count me in.

So, does that mean you'll be there?

I'm going to pencil it in my calendar. Since I've never been to one of these, what can I expect?

Fred

Lots and lots of noise ;) That and the benefit of being able to talk about your G string in a room full of men and knowing no one's going to make fun of you :D

I'll be able to go, I'll be part of the younger TB crowd, but it should still be fun.

you just had to plan it the day I leave to go visit my parents...boo to you! haha just kidding...man I wish I could go

Any RIers wanna give me a ride? I'd be most greatful.

Since I've never been to one of these, what can I expect?

Fred

It's a chance to play other people's gear that you wouldn't normally get a chance to play. It's also a good way to get to talk shop and meet some other bass brethren.

Not to mention a cool atmosphere with food, booze, strippers........wait, scratch that last one. Unless Bryan plans on stripping? :ninja: :p

Harry, I'd give you a ride, but I wont have any room in my car with all the gear & food I'm bringing.

Cool. Is there a cost? What should we bring?

Hi guy's I don't get over here (TB) very often but this will be a great time at a great place. The time will be 12-6pm. The Bassnutz crew thought it was time for meet&greet/gearfest. The last one we did was good but this one will be great!. We haven't worked out all the details yet but more to come.
Harry if Thor come's maybe you can hook up with him?

Cool. Is there a cost? What should we bring?
Nightrain/Joe/and I over at Bassnutz are flipping the bill for the cost, We might put out a donation jar to recoupe some of our cost. Maybe a voluntary 5:00$ donation if possible? I'm not sure. Joe?

What to bring? GEAR!

C'mon, Joe- I ALWAYS plan on stripping.

A $5 donation would be greatly appreciated to help with the cost of food and such, but it's not neccessary.

What to bring? You're more than welcome to bring whatever you'd like. Gear is always the best thing to bring.

Slight change in the time. It's now from 1 to 6pm.

I am interested but not definite. I have been having a lot of
work done on my place and hope to get it wrapped up in
August so I can get my stuff all moved back out of storage
and stop living out of plastic bags. I get most of the work
done that I need to take care of on the weekends, and it
has been nonstop for 4 months or more. Actually, the
project started Jan 1, but don't even go there. :rolleyes:

Harry, if I was going I'd be happy to take you, but I think
you should work on a ride to be safe.

Funkster, it sho' does sound like fun though. :bassist:

You better be going Mang!!!! You can get out one day for a couple of hours or so,:smug: , Hell it's just up the road from you off 146! a lot closer than the last one. This one is going to be a blast!:bassist: I'm surprised at the lack of intrest though. A few months ago everyone from TB was bugging me to host a GTG.. Oh well more food/Beer and gear for us!:bassist:

I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to make it. 10 minutes from me as well.....

Jeff

I just got off the phone with Mike Dimin, he will be showing up to do a clinic.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to make it. 10 minutes from me as well.....

Jeff

I'm in Sutton too.

I'm in Sutton too.

Where? I grew up in town and just moved back. I'm on Burbank Road.

PM sent.

I am suprised at the lack of interest in this. I have read many posts to Funkster to host a GTG and now it is happening and very little interest. ***

Too far for me. :p

I wish it was a different time...Im going to ohio for a week starting on the 20th. I woulda been able to bring along my schroeder too!
(should be shipped early this week!)

I'm playing at a wedding in Illinois on Saturday the 29th and getting back on the 30th in the am. I went to the last couple of GTG's and can attest that they are really fun, but in my current condition I can't drive and I'd probably be pretty wiped out from the day on Saturday. It sucks because I'd like to do the GTG thing one more time before I "go". Anyway, if you are within driving distance you should think about going, TB people and Bassnutz people are all really cool and it's all about the "hang" anyway. Most of us old geezers just sit around talking about gear and the kids sit around playing the gear.

I'm thinking the "Chemo sucks!" custom user title might have something to do with it. :(

Are you sure you don't have July & August mixed up? July 29th was a Saturday (last Saturday actually) but August 29th is a Tuesday (and the GTG is on Sunday the 20th, before the 29th).

Nah, I've got a wedding coming up in August. In Illlinois, and I'm going to be wiped out. The chemo I'm doing isn't that bad, but my blood counts go wicked low a week or 2 after the chemo. They did find a new tumor a month or so ago. I guess it's really big and pushing againsnt my liver and other things in there. They say it's not worth taking out because the quality of life it would give me wouldn't be that great. The chemo I'm on now seems to be working a little bit, the pain I had last week and the week before is almost gone, but they don't know how long this chemo will be effective. So, I guess that's it. I know that I'm not around as much as I used to be( I was a big lurker before anyway) so I've stepped down as mod. I'll try to still be around, but I just don't know how this is going to go down...............

Sorry, the wedding is Saturday the 19th. and I'll be wiped out on Sunday the 20th. I think the chemo makes my typing skills deteriorate, too...............


Chris

I might be able to make it.

I won't be able to make it, but feel free to send some tasty BBQ my way. I'm pretty hungry.

That would be "wicked cool"

Surrrreee! Just send me your address and I'll get some ribs your way! ;)

Surrrreee! Just send me your address and I'll get some ribs your way! ;)

Cool!

Send it USPS and I'll prolly wind up with Pork Jerky

Stillll lookin for a ride...

:(

Damn! Out of all the days this month, the 20th is the only Sunday I won't have free due to my own BBQ.

Stillll lookin for a ride...

:(

If I can get the day off I'll give you a ride, since you live less than a mile from where I live.

The GTG Is Tomorrow Rain or Shine Hope to have a good turn out. Who is going?

*Raises hand*

I'm there. See y'all tomorrow.

I'll be there but directions from the Mass Pike (coming from I84) eastbound would be awesome. Otherwise I have to hope the intarweb mapping sites are correct *crosses fingers*. :)

Easiest bet would be to get off the pike, take 395 south. Take exit 4A sutton ave. Follow it maybe 5 miles. Singletary Rod & Gun will be on your left hand side.

I just got done marinating 3 bags of ribs. I can't wait to eat them!!!

Cool, the more people the better!! See you all tomorrow!!!

Ya my directions say to hit the Mass Pike, then get off exit 10 (i290/i395) then do the exit 4A thing like you mentioned. Looks like I should be able to find the place ... eventually. :)

See all y'all tomorrow. :)

I'm planning on being there. Not sure which bass to bring. :hmm:

My wife's surgery was postponed, but the doctor won't let her drive more than 30min at a span so I'm out. Have fun guy! :)

Well, so much for the stripper. :crying: :smug:

If I had the room, or the time to come get you Bryan, I'd do it in a heart beat. I'm sorry you're going to miss out on this one. But, I expect to see you at the next one, okay?

Looks like I will be going- Dave kindly volunteered to go out of his way to pick me up, so I'll see everyone tomorrow :)

Should I bring a hand full of ones?

:ninja:

If you're really interested in seeing the little Mr. Tyler, then go for it ;)

Should I bring a hand full of ones?

:ninja:

Remember, Bryan's legally blind so color copies of one dollar bills should fake him out. :)

Those phoney ones would go straight back to you for gas money Dave, so you may want to rethink that suggestion ;)

If you're really interested in seeing the little Mr. Tyler, then go for it ;)
Ewwwww, maybe I'll stay home instead. :D


I'm planning on going.

This will be my first one. Besides basses, what size rig should I bring?

I can bring just my 2X10 or if you want the full Monty I can bring the 18" too.

BTW Joe, I remember driving by a Guitar Center that was right in Oxford once if I remember correctly- is this place right by it? I need to get a new tuner and was just wondering if this place was in walking distance.

What's everybody bringing, anyways? I'll take my two Elrick singlecuts and my Epifani 1x12 combo. My Looperlative arrives tomorrow, so I'll be looper-less :bawl:

Well, there's a new GC in Milbury. That's about 10 minute ride from where we're going to be.

As far as gear goes,

My Stambaugh
Schroeder 310212
Carvin DCM1500
Boss GT6B

My wife just got done making potato salad, macaroni salad. I have three bags of ribs marinating.

One thing to try and remember to bring would be power surge protectors. I just bought 4 of them, but I highly doubt that will be enough.

Have a great time guys. Jam one out for me!

( :( )

Harry,

Bryan's not going to make it either? That's a bummer.

Those phoney ones would go straight back to you for gas money Dave, so you may want to rethink that suggestion ;)

Hey, I'm not taking any money that's been wrapped around your g-string! :eek: :p

dang. I was going to come, except my wife forgot and is working a double shift today... and I'm not about to bring my kids out to something like this.

Welp! Here I am still at home. :rollno: Not even packed up yet.

Today is my only day off from work so as life and family intervene I might not make it. I had a feeling this would happen.

I am still going to try and get there but will most definitely be later in the afternoon.

I'm back in Norwich now, and I think I can still hear that Peavey 2x15.

It was a good time. Nice to meet some great people and play some very nice basses. Bryan's Elrick fretted bass was very sweet.

Now I just wish I knew everyone's screen name so that I could put with the real name. :)

Thanks for doing this Joe.

Fred

Did y'all get enough to eat?

Fred, it was my pleasure. I just hope everyone had a good time. Next one will be bigger and better I promise.

I still had fun.

next time do it when IM NOT AWAY!!! :)


glad it was a good time joe! I woulda killed to give your stambaugh a test run :D

Did y'all get enough to eat?

Fred, it was my pleasure. I just hope everyone had a good time. Next one will be bigger and better I promise.

I still had fun.

Thanks Joe and everyone else involved for putting this get together, um, together. :) It was great hanging out with you guys and ogling all that awesome low end equipment everyone brought. :)

It was a good time. Nice to meet some great people and play some very nice basses. Bryan's Elrick fretted bass was very sweet.

+1 on the Elricks. Bryan has some fantastic gear. The four string was my favorite. That bass was so light and comfortable, and the tone was to die for.

Now I just wish I knew everyone's screen name so that I could put with the real name. :)

I was the guy with the Smith and the Fender J.

Thanks for doing this Joe.

Yeah. Thanks Joe.

I had a great time now that I'm at work and have a few moment's to write,, It was an absolute pleasure meeting all you guy's and it turned out to be a fabulouse afternoon! Good Grub great gear and good Peep's,, I thought it was a quality turnout. The jam at the end was cool and that monster PV Cab that Rog had was killer. I loved Joe's Stammy, And Kev's Acoustic rig! Zach's 62 J, Mike Dimin was very cool and put on a hell of a clinic. I think there was more socializing then anything.. It will be bigger and better next year!!! More gear, More Peep's and More of Joe's Rib's :tu
Thank you all who came and made this thing happen!!
