I'm going to be back in NJ between the 19th-31st December with the missus - off to see the in-laws for Xmas! Anyway, does anyone feel like arranging a meetup in either NY or NJ around this time? Maybe between Xmas and New Year, then we can all show off our bass-related prezzies! :D

I've never been to a GTG, but I'd be interested. I don't really have the space at my house to host it, but if you get more info, please let me know. I'm in southern NJ, near Philly.

I've never been either, and it's a tough time of year to find time, but, I'd like to be kept in the loop if it develops.

I think we should find a place in NNJ and make all the NY weenies come to us for once.

I'm thinking down the shore so the NYC AND Philly people can meet in the middle :bassist:

Sounds like James is inviting us to his place :)

I could see about renting a local place... my house is a tiny summer shack converted to a year round home. I could fit 4 or 5 people MAX :hmm:

I agree with you there James .....

My house is so small that I can't even fit into it :rolleyes: But even if we don't have a "typical" GTG with tons of gear, maybe we can all just meet up at a place for a bite or a drink.

Actually, I have a gig scheduled for Friday December 29, 2006 at Rooney's Ocean Crab House in Long Branch from 7:00-11:00. The food is excellent and it's very easy to get to, located right on the shoreline with a beautiful view of the Atlantic (of course it'll be dark and you won't be able to see anything, but the idea is cool ...). Plus, if any of you guys come I can get a break and let you sit in .... there are always guitar players and drummers sitting in with us, but never any bass players (I think the 7 string thing may have something to do with that :ninja: ).

But whatever shakes out, sure, let's try to get something put together, I'll help out however I can .... :cool:

I would come out to play. :)

:eyebrow:
I'm a cool weenie, thank you.

I'd be interested in coming out and meeting you guys wherever it may be.
PB - Rooneys is actually a nice place. Here's a link if anyone cares to take a look:

can we do a version of Spinal Taps "Big Bottom" then? :p

Yeah, Rooney's is all right, a little bit subdued for most of the gig because it's a heavy dinner crowd, the last set opens up a little bit. But it never gets to "Spinal Tap" levels ;)

We're also going to be at The Cove in Sea Bright on the 16th, basically right down the street from Rooney's. The Cove is a sort of wierd joint, sometimes it's very crowded and other times it's almost empty. Could be some Spinal Tap possibilities at The Cove ..... :cool: Of course, my POS hartke head would likely blow itself apart ....

I'm in, just let me know when & where

If Long Island is an option I might be able to host it. We're out in Farmingdale which is about a 45 minute drive east of NYC. The Long Island Rail Road runs from Penn Station to the Farmingdale station as well.

Man, I've played at the Cove many times, and there were some nights there when it was completely deserted. I mean nobody there. I know what your talking about.

I have never been to a GTG . I'm in retail though. I would not have a lot of options until after the New Year.

I'm an ex chef so I could help with the grub.

Thats would be a straight run down 110 for me so that would be perfect ! :hyper:

I'm playing at the Knitting Factory on 12/29 if anybody is free. :bassist:

So, how many of us can do a GTG late December? How about a pre X-mas meeting on the 23rd?

Again, I'm willing to host on LI if we have enough people on-board.

Thanks
JC

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm POSITIVE that my wife would be very unhappy if I went to hang out with a bunch of bass players on the Saturday of Christmas weekend :hiding: No offense meant to anyone here, of course ..... ;)

I'd probably be easier somewhere between Christmas and New Year's Eve, as the O/P suggested ....

So when are we all going to meet up for a GTG ?

What about mid January (13th / 14th / 20th / 21st).

Man if this has been eating away at you since September I still hope there is some of you left ! :D If I remember correctly I believe I asked you how long you were playing and If I recall it was only a few years so responded with my comment as to quality of your playing after such a short amount of time with the instrument. :)

::high five::

suscribing to see if something works outs that i can make

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled the 4th... so about a week after that would be good... I tend to heal pretty well.

Hmm, almost time. I would love to go. Long Island is a bit far from me. I will be in and out of the studio until Jan 15th, so I might not be able to go anyway, but I will try my darndest.

Just some gig spam to remind you all that my band will be at Rooney's Crab House this coming Friday 12/29, so stop by if you can .... maybe somebody can sit in for a tune or two? :cool: Here's the info / link ...

While I won't be able to make it to a G2G anytime soon, I am going to the Sadowsky shop on January 2nd. If anyone wants to meet me, I should be there with my lovely girlfriend.

Hey y'all...
I'm fairly open until 1/12.
It's be a gas to meet up.
I'm in Philly, but wouldn't you know it...I have a car.

Since an X-mas GTG didn't happen, I'm suggesting another one:

Let me know if anyone is interested.
