Would anybody be interested in a ST. Louis area? I have an idea for a few locations.

Last week, I talked to the owner of Mojo's Music in Edwardsville, IL, about eighteen miles NW of downtown STL. He seemed at least open to the idea. I will talk to him again, he has room for a clinic, and he also has a decent selection of basses ( not boutique) that folks could check out. His store is also cool since most of his bass instructors are students of the great fusion and jazz bassist, Tom Kennedy. One of his major salesmen is also a killer bassist. Since he is a Ernie Ball/Music Man dealer, maybe we could get Tony Levin for a clinic! Hey, why not dream?:smug:

I'd be interested, depending on the date, of course.

I had not thought about a date, but it seems that January would be good since everyone will be busy for the holidays.

I'm interested. January is a great idea.

I may be interested as well.

I might drive out from KC to something like this. Especially if Tony Levin is going to be there. :)

Tony Levin is wishful thinking at this point. I will go by the shop tomorrow and tell him that a buzz is starting to develop about a Talkbass GTG in Edwardsville.:hyper:

If you are really interested in a STL area GTG, post here. The store owner is interested. I need to be able to tell him how many might want to attend.

My parents live in STL so yeah I could bring the daughter up to see them and possibly attend the GTG....are there any stores in STL that sell boutique gear? I've been to a couple of GC's but never found anything really special.

I'm about two hours from ya. Just say when!

Dave

I'm interested!

I'm glad to see interest perking up a bit. As for boutique stores, they dried up around 2000/2001. Fazio's in West St. Louis County off Manchester Road is about the most exotic you will find.

I'm still working on January.:cool:

Just dropping in on this thread to keep an eye on it. Im in West Co. about 1.5 miles from Fazios.

So is there still an interest in this? I wouldnt mind meeting some of the other bass players in the area since I am just starting out ...

Hope something comes of this ... sounds like fun.

Aaron

I wouldbe very interested in this. If you guys haven't already done this, let me know when this is going down, I'd love to come out.

DA

I didn't even know this forum was here, sorry.
I could maybe make something...
Selfish plug: one at my house tomorrow-sorry for the short notice. PM me if you want details.

Here's another KC TB'er that wouldn't mind coming out to the ol' STL.

I'm interested as well. I'm going to get my bass cd done first and then try to organize one. maybe even a cool clinic w/ a couple of cool friends.

more on that layer though.

Peace.

Sounds cool ... Im still a noob at the bass, just started in December but I wouldnt mind getting together with the other players in STL.

Aaron

Im still down for it. Dave karns has a lot fo cool musician friends and I'm sure we can find a cool place to jam at.
