Major Metal is comming to town and he wants to visit with you all ! Lets shoot for Saturday Jan 20th in the late afternoon. Looking foward to meeting some of you for the first time. :)

Sounds cool to me!

We have a when, now all we need is a where.

I'm in, this will be awesome. I've never been to one of these before, is it like a party?

I'm game aslong as im not in the studio.

I'll try to be there.

I'll try to be there as well.

where has it been decided? it looks like a lot of Mass guys, NA GC? or somewhere else

I'd like to be there but I we're celebrating birthday's on the 20th. Unless it's much later in the day (like evening).

So far I'm going to be there. Just need to solidify a time now.

No 300 year-old cognac either? :(

No Cognac for the irishman!

I'm in, this will be awesome. I've never been to one of these before, is it like a party?

Sort of, only it's all bass-dorks surrounded by all kinds of nice gear. I've only been to two though. The main attraction for me is getting to try out all sorts of high end gear that you'd never find in a store.

Maybe Bryan R Tyler will be there with his Elricks!

But no cheese and crackers at your place later ?

Actually I'm working on it. Doesn't look good as of right now, but we'll see. I'll let everyone know.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out that friday, but I MAY be there. I don't know if the painkillers will work or not though :-/.

Good Luck Harry ! :)

So there's no meeting place yet? :D

I'm about 20-30 minutes from Westerly and could host it, but that's likely way too far for most central RI'ers.

I can also host it... I'm in Lincoln, have the space, a drum set, and drummer if needed.

How late in the afternoon are you planning to have this? I can probably make something around 5:30 or so (if it'll still be going on at that time).

How late in the afternoon are you planning to have this? I can probably make something around 5:30 or so (if it'll still be going on at that time).

Personally, I can only go until about 7PM, but can start as early as 2PM.

I personally wouldn't be able to make it anywhere (as most know I can't drive because of my eyesight, and my wife's been out of commission from ankle surgery), but if anything falls through and a backup spot is needed, I can always host at my house and have no limit to the hours people can be there.

Cool , I would rather go have a mini gtg at somones house then at GC.

Hey Bryan, where exactly are you?

I'm at the edge of Norwich (06360) next to Ledyard, so about 5-10 minutes from either casino. 40 Sunnyside Ave. if that helps for a Mapquest or something.

Either my place or Bryan's place is ok with me... anyone have a preference? Bryan is just over an hour from Pawtucket/N.A. area.

Since a lot of us will be more towards the north, I am offering to host the RI Mini-GTG at my house. Please PM me if you are coming and I will PM you the directions and information.

I'm holding as an open house between 1PM and 6:30PM (maybe later). I'll have pizza, calzones, soda (for those under-21) and beer for the elder folks.

Bring your gear (esp. Chunk ... I want to try the Mouse out).

I have one rig, a PA system with a DI and one very small combo amp, so if someone could bring maybe one more combo amp, that would be great. If my drummer can make it we could jam or whatever.

I look forward to meeting you guys.

-AJ

Bryan,

You're forgetting the fact that you'd be driving through RI. I think you'd be able to drive as well or better than most on the road there now. Hopefully, you and I will be able to make it.

Bring your gear (esp. Chunk ... I want to try the Mouse out).
Wouldn't show up without it. ;)
I would really like to try out that beautiful Sadowski, oh, and the F-Bass too. :)

I will bring my Lakland 55-94 as well.

For a rig I can bring the full Monty if you like, or just half.
Alembic F-1X
Stewart World 2.1
SWR Goliath jr III (2X10)
........Big Ben (1X18)

Other basses of interest if anyone else is interested.

Rickenbacker 4003
74 Fender jazz. (defretted, with barts)
Pedulla MVP
I also have a Franken Jazz I put together what the Audere pre and Nordstrand Pups. I love the sound of this thing. It's got me gas'n for Some high end Jazz5 something awful



AJ, if you need any help with food or whatever just send me a PM.

Bryan,

You're forgetting the fact that you'd be driving through RI. I think you'd be able to drive as well or better than most on the road there now. Hopefully, you and I will be able to make it.

Ha! I guess being legally blind would be an advantage over RI drivers :D

Ha! I guess being legally blind would be an advantage over RI drivers :D

Absolutely! Think about the excuses . . . No officer, I didn't see the:

red light;
stop sign
speed limit sign
your fat *** standing in the middle of the road;
etc.

Fire up the Buick and we'll see you there. :)

I just sent the invitiation via PM. If you didn't receive one, please PM me and I'll send you the details. Don't forget to RSVP so we can plan food accordingly.

Thanks!

I will think about bringing the violin bass.

Pedulla Thunderbolt 4

However, if I bring the UL212, I can only fit two basses in my car.


I'm not sure if this is cool or not (shameless plug), but I also have some cabs for sale. Aguilar GS210 and two GS112s. All are mint with the padded Aggie covers. Cash and carry! No shipping fees=low prices and a good deal. PM me if you're interested.

Cheers,
Kevin

A little late getting to the party here.

How far is Andy from pawtucket ?

About 15 minutes or less.

(Well only 10 if I'm driving. I used to be a RI driver, but now I'm a MA driver.) :D

How far is Andy from pawtucket ?

I'm probably 10-15 mins. My town is technically part of Pawtucket.

About 7 miles max, depending on what part of
Awwfarket your in.

Great, I am really looking foward to meeting you guys. :)

Indeed. Do you own a gun? :D

Am I missing anything? Fred, are you showing up empty handed?

I am not bringing them all, but only what people show an interest in.

I might bring the 2 x12 cab I rebuilt from a guitar cab
to a bass cab, just for giggles, a DIY project.

Call it what you will; it's true.

Wizzy
UL110

Cool. A Berg HT112. I was going to ask if someone could get a hold of one to bring. I'd love to try one out. Perhaps, relieve some gas (or increase it).

How about some MarkBass stuff? Anyone have access to some of that to bring?

Glad to be of service.

I have an EX112 as well. I'll bring both as I am interested to hear what everyone else thinks of them separately and/or together.

Well, Andy, there goes the 'hood.

Do you have earthquake insurance? yuk yuk



I am not bringing them all, but only what people show an interest in.

Same goes here.

I will be bringing the Mouse and my 55-94. I'm also pretty sure I will be bringing my franken Jazz bass. (Audere and NJ4SV's)

If you have any interest in anything else I have on the list it can come too. Just ask.

Edit:
I'll be bringing my full rig too.

Unless room is an issue? I can cut down if need be.

Depends on how big the rig is. I've got a 24'x20' room. My desk is taking a good part of that, but we jam here too. I'll probably have room for about 5-6 rigs.

What's everyones age i'm curious now ;-p

I'm pushing 40.

Well my rig is tiny, so even if someone wanted to plop a 4x10 ontop of my cab or something i wouldn't care. I'm still going to make believers out of the crowd with the Ampeg SVX ;-p

but its safe to say i'll be the youngin here ;-p

I'm not over the hill but I can see the top from here.

That's a lot more room than most of the stages I've been on, so we should be good. It really doesn't have all that big of a foot print, but it is a full size rig 90's style. 1 18" 1 2X10" SWR's and I usually stick the rack (4 space) on top.

I will bring some extension cords and power strips too. Stands are not a problem.

Kevin

I've got enough stands for my basses. I'll bring all four of them. I'll also bring the Carvin B1500. I think you guys will be surprised at the tone/power/quality. I'll also bring my new Epifani PS600. I have an Epifani UL212, but if you want to see/hear it, I can only bring two basses. Let me know!

Chunk,
I am glad you are bringing the Lakland - I'm interested to see how my Peavey which also has the J/MM configuration compares to it.

I've had 13 birthdays so far.

I might as well stick my nose in here. I might end up making it out. I need to check with my better half to make sure that day is a go.

If I do end up making it, I'll be bringing the Stammie.

Awesome! I'd be anxious to play that one!

I'm going to bring my MXR Blowtorch and Octave Multiplexer along so you guys can try them out, i actually have the multiplexer on craigslist maybe one of you would be interested in picking it up or have any trades.

I might as well stick my nose in here. I might end up making it out. I need to check with my better half to make sure that day is a go.

Yo, Joey, drag your sorry @$$ over. Been forever since I seen you, man.

I have a 9am appointment to get the windows tinted in my new ride. But that shoud only take a few hours. I'll know more tonight if I can go or not. I'm sure I'll be there.

What about directions?

AJ has a great map for you.

For you, east on 44 to 295. Then 295 N to 146 South exit.
Head south toward Prov, AJ can take you from there.

Looking forward to seeing that Stammie, you and I have
gotten a lot of new stuff since we saw each other last.

It would be really nice to see you again, bro.

If I do end up making it, I'll be bringing the Stammie.

Is that the new one you brought to the August gtg at the Rod & Gun club? If so, it was a beauty.

Yep, that's the bad boy!

Yeah, I've got a garage. It's unheated though. We'll see what happens. Guys will be in and out at various times, so maybe the din can be kept to a min.

Sorry Bryan, I had you tentatively in for some reason. Too bad you can't make it. Next time for sure.

I don't have a ride for the way up, but I'll talk to my parents and see if they'd be willing, or at least my dad might stop by and hang out if that's cool with everyone.

I just sent Bryan a PM asking if he needed a lift. He's more than welcomed to ride with me.......after I collect some gas money. :smug: ;)










j/k man, my offer stands.

This is going to be great ! :hyper:

Holy crap!!! That's a $%@ing riot!!!!! :D :D :D

Power strips? If this gets much bigger I'm going to bring a generator! :D

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

It wouldn't hurt to bring power strips. I'm more worried about the load at peak hours... hmmmm a generator, eh?

Andy I will bring some Red Wine. :cool:

Andy, seeing as i assume im one of the closet people to you, if you need help setting up give a shout

It wouldn't hurt to bring power strips. I'm more worried about the load at peak hours... hmmmm a generator, eh?

Do you have circuit breakers or fuses? :D

Looks like unless something goes wrong, I'll be going too then thanks to Joe. This time I'll have to play that Stambaugh (forgot to last time :rolleyes: ).

i wish i had a fancy bass to show off, but i guess im 505 will do ;-p

They're all good man. Bring what you have.

Elrics, Sammmies, and Sadowskies, OH MY!



Let's see, if I take out one of the m's in sammie and make it a k for the Elrick and then drop the ie and make it a y, I'm actually ahead by one letter. Yeah, yeah, that makes it all better.

Just a note about logistics... I'd like to keep the driveway clear so guys coming in can unload. Therefore, after unloading, if you could park in the Additional Parking lot, it would be a great help.

I'm psyched to meet all of you. See you Saturday.

Yes the laptop is totally essential, that's actually the Ampeg SVX it's software made by Ampeg to emulate all of their heads, and that's why im bringing it. going to demonstrate a couple of the settings and a let everyone mess around with it.

This is my mini-rig, i can't afford the markbass's or anything like that so this is as mini as it's getting, it fits in my 92 sentra perfectly so im happy.

Is anyone interested in hearing a Schroeder 1212R? I can bring it, but if no one cares I'll just leave it home.

kobass, what pickups do you have in your RV-4? I have an RV-4 with single coils. I'd love to A/B them if yours has hum-canceling pickups. Also, do you know what strings it has on it?

I'm definately going to bring my workhourse Fender J. IMO it out funks my Sadowsky any day of the week.

AJ, nice work with the map! Is street parking allowed on you street, or is the parking lot by the ball field our best bet?

I never sent you a PM, but I'm a definate. Can I bring anything? Money for pizza? Beers? Just let me know.

I've got an original Schoeder 1210... would the 1212 be redundant?

True. Unless of course someone was interested in A/Bing the two cabs? That question has only been asked about 1,000,000 time here on TB! Is your cab a 4 ohm or 8 ohm? Mine's a 4 ohm.

I'm definately going to bring my workhourse Fender J. IMO it out funks my Sadowsky any day of the week.

That Jazz sounded great. Don't think I got the chance to play it last time, but it was definitely funky.

I'll be bringing my Elrick singlecut 5, Elrick singlecut fretless 4, maybe my Elrick singlecut fretted 4, and my sized-down mini-rig- a Bergie 1x12 and a 4-space effects rack (only 10" deep) with a couple Boss VF-1s and a Looperlative looper for anyone who wants to try it. The whole thing's only a foot deep and 3.5 fet long. I normally run it in stereo with another Bergie and some floor switches to pan or switch between them, but there's no need for that at a GTG.

I'd also be happy to bring a pack of Guinesses or something else if that's cool.

Is anyone interested in hearing a Schroeder 1212R? I can bring it, but if no one cares I'll just leave it home.

kobass, what pickups do you have in your RV-4? I have an RV-4 with single coils. I'd love to A/B them if yours has hum-canceling pickups. Also, do you know what strings it has on it?



I have the hum-canceling pups. The strings are Sadowsky Bright Nickels.

btw, I won't be bringing my Epi UL212 unless someone really wants to hear it. It takes up a lot of room in my car and would prevent me from bringing all of my basses. Let me know. I will still be bringing my Carvin B1500 and my Epi PS600.

Bringing a Carvin B1500 is kind of like bringing a
Howitzer to a paint ball match.

LOL! I just thought you guys would like to hear it and I'd be curious to hear your opinions.

You got a 'Vette with a V8 to go with that?

You got a 'Vette with a V8 to go with that?

VW w/a turbo 4, sorry. Besides, I couldn't fit my stuff in a 'vette.

LOL! I just thought you guys would like to hear it and I'd be curious to hear your opinions.

Bring it. I really want to hear that amp. I had one of the RedLine amps back in the day. I'd like to see if they fixed the suck.

I have the hum-canceling pups. The strings are Sadowsky Bright Nickels.

I have a new set of Lakland stainless steel round wounds on my RV-4. I've never tried the SBN's, so I don't know how much it would effect a good apples-to-apples comparison.

I'll be bringing my Elrick singlecut 5, Elrick singlecut fretless 4, maybe my Elrick singlecut fretted 4,.......

Nice. I'm glad you'll be there Brian.

I sold my Ken Smith shortly after playing your Elricks at the last GTG. I has hoping to find a nice 34" scale Elrick to replace it, but Sadowsky gas got the best of me. Here we go again. I just love those Elricks. Super nice tone.

Well, I sold the red one to help pay for a plasma TV for my wife's christmas present, but if I do bring the singlecut fretted 4 I have now, it's also a 34" so you might like to try it. The neck on it is thicker than the standard Elrick neck by a bit, but it's the comfiest 4 I've tried.

I was actually surprised I didn't like the Smith more. It was a nice bass, but it didn't end up wow'ing me the way I thought a Smith might. I used to jones for a Smith six when I was younger.

LOL! I just thought you guys would like to hear it and I'd be curious to hear your opinions.

I just want to be able to hear AFTER.

Will my ears bleed?

Just a note about logistics... I'd like to keep the driveway clear so guys coming in can unload. Therefore, after unloading, if you could park in the Additional Parking lot, it would be a great help.

I'm psyched to meet all of you. See you Saturday.

http://www.ajbrown.us/ajbrown_parking.jpg

Will there be a shuttle bus?

Since I'm coming late and I'm damn near elderly, just save room in the driveway for me. :D

Do you have the proper license plate for special parking? :D

At 55, I believe I am the most elderly.

Should I bring my cane?

Do you have the proper license plate for special parking? :D

No. I'll just ride the short bus!

Should I bring my cane?

Sure . . . bring all your gear.

Should I bring my cane?

Well that depends, is it ash/maple or alder/rosewood?

I think it has been exposed the the same sunlight as
a bubinga tree somewhere in the distant past.

It does look like a bit of a hike, but really it's only the length of a baseball field. What's that, about 400ft to the wall?

For you doddering old coots....

Yep. It only takes 5 minutes or less to cross a ballfield.

Wow, Joe, that hurt.

You mean you wouldn't give me a ride from left field
to the house after all we've been through together?
:bawl:

Wow, Joe, that hurt.

I'll piggyback you to AJ's house. You're only, what, 100, 110 pounds, right?

Wow, Joe, that hurt.

:D

Whoa! Is that your new ride, Joe? I don't think it needs any window tinting. Get it from the Scooter store? :hiding:

AJ, nice work with the map! Is street parking allowed on you street, or is the parking lot by the ball field our best bet?

I never sent you a PM, but I'm a definate. Can I bring anything? Money for pizza? Beers? Just let me know.

Unfortunately, there is no parking on my street because it's very narrow. The ballfield parking is very close and is definately the best bet.

No need to bring anything, I've got it covered. Just bring your gear.

I'm sure we can figure something out for the senior members of the community.

Well, I have received word my manly presence is required to
pick up a sofa that my lovely wife spotted while out recently
doing a little antiqueing. I had hoped to do that yesterday, but
it started raining after work.

That is right, I have to take care of that Saturday. Hopefully
that will get taken care of in a timely fashion, but it does
increase the possibilty that the elusive Thor will fade after
the superhuman effort required to move a sofa. I'd rather
move an SVT anyday. Hey, I'd happily settle for a warm beer
and some cold pizza. I reckon the odds at 50/50.

If I don't do this, life will not be worth living. You married
guys know exactly what I mean.

+1! True dat!

The wife has given the ok to go until whenever, so 1PM til whenever are the new hours. As long as I'm conscious, I'm here.

Remind me to never get married, or more importantly, whipped.

Well, family comes first. Just the way it is.

No problem at all.

Joe and I will probably get there around 2-2:30 or so, depending on traffic.

I am up in RI now , i hope you can come out to play tommorow THOR :cool:

I am allergic to people who have both tattoos and books,
KEVIN! :D


I'll do my best bro, I'll see how the day goes. :bassist:

Believe it or not, Kevin doesn't actually hand out questionaires or ballots for polls in real life as one might think he would ;) :D

Hey Thor, Hope you get the chance to make it.
If not, we'll meet up one of these days.

Well,

We're all set over here at the Brown household for the main event. We've got beer, calzones, pizza, chili (the wife insisted) and finger sangwiches.

I look forward to meeting everyone.

I'm even gonna video the event if people don't mind.

BTW - if anyone has anything for sale and they want to bring it, by all means. I've got a rackmount Fender tuner available as the door prize (after an $85 acquisition fee).

My drummer will be there for some improptu jammin'.

Oh yeah! :bassist:

I was actually going to ask if I should bring my Handycam, so I don't mind at all. My mug might break your lens though....

Yeah, i'll have a couple things for sale. i'll be bringing band flyers to tape up all over your house while you're not watching ;-p

Is is OK to bring a G****r. I have a beatup 1987 CIJ Squier Strat that is looking for a new home - it may come in handy during a jam. Or do we play Big Bottom for 4 hours? (not that there would be anything wrong with that!) Do we draw straws to see who has to play the dreaded 6-string or is it pistols at 10 paces?

I'm even gonna video the event if people don't mind.

:bassist:

Good. I was hoping there was going to be some security cameras . . . Hey, it's RowDihland. :hiding:

Mrs. Embryodead needs to know i'm only marrying her so i can adopt a child, other than that im not very interested in being married for any other reason.

I'll see you all there!!! :cool:

I just picked up a speakon to 1/4 cable yesterday so I will also bring my old WW M-100 and maybe even my custom made Campellone 5 string fretless.

I just don't think it will be able to happen guys. I don't think I can come. :bawl:

See you guys in a few hours ! :hyper:

See you guys in a few hours ! :hyper:

Really looking forward to meeting you guys. I'll be there around 1:15 or so.



Kevin

You guys wanted me to leave my Elricks at home and just take my $30 Valencia acoustic guitar, right?

see you all soon !!

I promise to practice a little before attempting again.

It was great meeting all of you (and seeing some of you again). Matt's Rob Allen was nuts- an all bass machine weighing like 6 pounds. The Genz-Benz head sounded really great and I loved the 6-string F-bass. Fun jams! More of ya'll will have to join in next time- I suck but I tried anyways :) Zack should be all warmed up for his gig with Anal Implosion tonight. Joe and I believe we saw Chris the drummer speeding past us on the highway going about 90 :p Thanks to AJ and Cathy for hosting- I was a dumbass and forgot to eat while I was there (also forgot to take any digital pics). It's always nice to meet the people you talk to online and find they're even nicer in person.

It was nice to meet all of you.....and see those of you I've meet before again.

Andy, thanks for hosting this. Tell your wife I said thanks for the chili. If by some slim chance I do decide to sell the Stammie, you'll get first dibs.

Thanks to everyone who came. Loved the jams, loved the basses (esp. Matt's Mouse, Bryan's Elrick-5, and Joe's Stammie). There were a lot of talented players in the room which reminds me I need to get back the shed.

Fred actually showed up at the end with his incredible Zon Sonus Spalted and a custom fretless.

I'll post the pics and vids tomorrow sometime before the Pats kick the Colts' ass.

We should definately do it again in the spring.

I knew he'd show up after everyone was gone :D

I knew he'd show up after everyone was gone :D

I guess we will have to do it again. He was counting on playing through one of our Bergs.

I enjoyed meeting you all, playing some gorgeous basses and hearing Kevin make my Peavey sound like a certifiable funk machine.

Thanks again Andy and Cathy - you were terrific hosts.

It was great seeing you all ! Thanks for opening your home to us Andy :bassist:

You guys suck!! You left early you wimps! Leaving at like 5:30. I can't believe it. I got there about 6:15 and the place is dark. I called Andy and he was nice enough to let me in (thanks Andy and Cathy).

Andy's F Bass is really nice. I had never played one before and even though the fb is huge, it's really comfortable to play. I also like the Modulus too. Really nice.

I wish I could have arrived earlier but two of my kids had birthdays this week and we had reservations for a party at a lazer tag place.

I know Zac probably laid down some grooves and everyone had a good time. Next time!!

Bryan, did Joe let you drive his new ride?

If he had, neither of us would have been alive to post in this thread. Too bad we missed you- there were three Bergie 1x12s there.

I had a great time!
Glad to meet all of you and put some faces to the screen names. Loved AJs Sadowsky and the Fbass was sweet too. One more string than I need but very sweet indeed. Joes Stammie is a work of art and Bryans Elricks are something else. Way too may basses and gear in one room. Thought I died and went to bass heaven. Wish I had tried them all.

There were a lot of talented players in the room which reminds me I need to get back the shed.
Me too, I was a little gun shy. :p


Thanks to Major Metal for making it happen and thanks to AJ for his hospitality.



Here's a few pics. Sorry if I left anyone out, I know I didn't get everyone. Some of the them came out too blurry as well.

You guys suck!! You left early you wimps!

Bryan, did Joe let you drive his new ride?

Better late than never I suppose.

I offered to let Bryan drive home, but he declined. (thankfully)

Hey Matt, great meeting you and thanks for posting the pics so fast.

BTW - you officially have be jonesing for a Mouse 30. I don't care how silly it looks on me. I gotta have one! I don't recall... did you say you bought direct?

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed meeting all of you! +1 one on gettin' back to the 'shed. Lots of talent in that room! It was a fun hang. Mucho gracias to Andy and Cathy for hosting, thanks for the great hospitality! (and thanks for letting us park closer to your house. )It was freakin' COLD out there! Looking forward to hooking up again and maybe getting to some of your gigs.

Now I've got to add a 55-94 to my short GAS list. Thanks, Chunk-O-Funk! :D

Oh yeah, and the action on my Sad RV4 is like 5 times as high as Zac's. His plays like butta compared to mine. There goes $45 for a setup! It never ends! :rollno:

Cheers,
Kevin

Same here, great meeting you too.

Glad you dig it. Just one more?? Haaa!

I did buy it direct from Rob. He has a pretty good turn around time. It was just a few month with the options I chose. If you buy a stock Mouse it takes less time. There are a few dealers out there but the Mouse is a bit hard to find in stock.

Here are my pics ... the videos will be up soon...

That's a Stambaugh, although it looks pretty similar to one of my Elricks.

I couldn't remember and see the headstock and thought it was one of the Elricks ;-p i uploaded it from my phone so i was close atleast it was single cut.

That'll work.

Pfft, hot coffee out the nose.

I wish I could have arrived earlier (or you wimps could have stayed later) so that I could have played the Mouse. I was checking out Rob Allen's website last night and those basses are interesting. The other models are too especially the deep one. I'd love to hear and play one.

Sorry Fred. Wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe next time. Someone mentioned that you being an upright player would really have liked the Mouse. I know I would have loved to hear you put some upright technique to it.

You probably would have loved the Majors green Violin bass. Very acoustic sounding with some grit to it with the Dan Armstrong picups. The bass is a beauty!


I know how you feel though. I have been at the Sadowsky web site, and now I'm trying to figure out what to unload. First I think I have to get a smaller rig though. It was proven to me yesterday that bigger is not better. Lots of great rigs.

I'm glad I went but my wallet is going to hate me for it. :D

If it doesn't fit in my 92 sentra it's too big.

By the time I was ready to roll it was 6:45, so I figured
loading up the car would be pretty tiring, so I decided to
take a nap while I thought about it.

I was still thinking about it when I woke up Sunday. :help:

Andy, you look very familiar to me, somehow. Sheesh, it is
RI though. Everybody looks familiar if you stay here long
enough.

Gear bashes can be very difficult on the wallet, that is for

Hey Chunk, if I don't have a jam this week, want to meet at
the Warwick GC? PM me your schedule, I can bring the Bene.

For those of you who tried my Carvin B1500 head, there was obviously a problem with the output level. I finally had the opportunity to check it out today with my Epi UL212 and I'm happy to report that it still kicks mucho arse with the volume on "3." My guess is that there was some sort of weird cable mismatch or something? That was the first time I had used the 1/4" output, so maybe that had something to do with it. If anyone wants to really hear/feel the way it should sound, I'll be happy to bring it (along with the UL212, and speakon cables)to the next area GTG.

Glad to hear that it was nothing serious with your rig. I'd wouldn't mind hearing it in action at a gig. Feel free to keep me posted with your schedule.

Zac - I'm not sure those February shows are on your website yet. I could probably get a few of my guys out to the show since you cover a lot of the same ground we do. My drummer and trombone are not too far from Maynard and everyone else could make it to Somerville pretty easily. My singer is the friend of a friend of one of your singers - small world!

To all you CT & RI-based guys - anytime you are in northern RI or MA - feel free to give a holler.

That would be cool. For the rest of this week my schedule is pretty straight forward. In by eight, out by five. The only thing I don't know is how long it would take to get there in the 5pm rush. I work in Johnston, so I'm not that far and would probably take 295.

Nope, they're not. My band's website is a POS! We're in the process of creating a new one and we no longer have anyone savvy enough to update the one that is currently online.

Booty Vortex will be at the Sit-N-Bull (http://www.sitnbull.com/) in Maynard, MA on Saturday Feb. 3rd, and at Johnny D's (http://www.johnnyds.com/) in Somerville on Saturday Feb. 24th. I linked to the venues' websites in case you need more info.

Hope you can make it. Let me know if you do. I will provide much funky bass. :bassist:

If any of you guys have a web site or an email list I would be interest in checking out a show or two. Maybe you guys can show me what I'm missing so I can get my ass back in a band. :D

Post em here or pm me if you want.

We'll be at Copperfield's March 9th (first gig so far with new vox).

I'm marking my calendar!

Shameless gigspam.

I am supposed to do the opening set with Ron Gizzarelli
and Steve Angelone (Rotten Angel) at the Ocean Mist
Feb 24th.

Ronnie's original band will do the 2 following sets, but as
they only have enough material for 2 sets, I am the go to
guy for the extra set as his bassist apparently can't handle
covers. And his regular drummer can only do 4/4. Angelone,
otoh, can do 3/4, 6/6, 11/4 and whatever else needed.

Should be an interesting evening in Matunuck. Last time
I appeared was last June.

Also, Rotten Ice, our new blues project, is shaping up
decently, and that looks like a good gig vehicle. That should
be well polished by the end of March, at which time I may
ask for some venue advice for that.

AJ, how'd the videos come out? I'm curious if they are all just blurred bass noise :D

That reminds me... I just haven't had time to upload them or even watch them. Maybe tonight.

Here's a link to my band.

Our website is currently under construction but should be up soon. I'm sorry I missed the GTG I didn't find out about it until after but I'de love to come to the next one.

Hey Adam,
I dig your music-good stuff!

And that DB with the flames is the shizzle. :cool:


Cheers,

Just met Chunk-o-Funk and D Von over at GC Warwick.

Chunk brought the Mouse, that was a very unique bass, for
sure.

It was just a spur of the moment thing as D Von needed to
buy some gear, his shredder guitard was killing him. If I had
know I would have brought the Benavente along, but as
it was, I had access to the Lakland Skyline HB and a
sunburst Epi Jack Casady. So we spent an hour or so
swapping stories and basses.

Good time! Thanks guys!

Same here Thor. I had a good time, glad you I'Med me. The sales guys at GC didn't suspect a thing with all those extra basses. :D

Great meeting you as well D Von. Show that gitard who's boss. ;)

That mouse definately got me interested in Rob Allens. It was sweet.

I neglected to post this earlier, but did anyone leave a strap and a stand-part at my house? I've got 'em if you lost 'em.

Don't leave us hanging . . . what did D Von get?

Also, it was good meeting Chunk-O-Funk today too. I got to play the Mouse and it's pretty cool. Very well crafted.

Good meeting you too Fred. The Walter Woods/UL110 combo is pretty sweet. Still can't get over how light it is.

Lower half of a stand? That's mine. I though I left it there. No biggie.

No problem. You know where it is. When you pick it up, please bring the mouse. I already miss it.

Okay. Next time I come I'll be sporting a new UL410. Big time moment of weakness last night. Hanging out with you guys is baaaaad news. :D

Don't blame any of us- nearly every rig at that GTG was a mini consisting of 1x12s or 2x10s ;)

my 2x10 blares over my metal band and we play pretty loud. It also helps i learned some proper EQing by eying everyone's amps.

:D

Yeah, I know. I was only using my 2X10 as well. But a 4X10 that only weighs 56lbs is a God send compared to my last set up for gigging.

I also bought a proper case for my rack set up. That alone will probably shave close to ten pounds off of that.

The Stewart amp only weighs 18lbs and the pre is only a few. The wooden box I have everything in right now too heavy.

That reminds me. Someone put my F1X all at 5 that day the flat setting for this preamp is 2-10-2. Kind of weird but that flat.

Wasn't me ;-o, i don't touch peoples amp settings lol

Wasn't me either! Congrats on the UL410, Chunk-O-Funk! That's a killer cab.

btw, Dan (dangnewt) came to my gig in Taunton last Friday. Just for the hell of it, I asked him to lift my Epi UL212. I think he would agree that it was the lightest 57 lbs. he ever lifted. Feels more like 30. Amazing.


Kevin

:D wasn't blaming anyone. Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound like that. Just more of a FYI for anyone who tried my rig.

whats up guys? meeting chunk o funk and thor yesterday was really cool, you guys rock. i ended up getting a used ampeg b2r head, a gk backline 115 and the monster speaker cable for 675. i just gotta figure out what to do with my crate bt100 now, anybody have a flame thrower possibly? chunk, that mouse was such a sick bass! i had instant gas for a short scale fretless to mess around with. thanks again for the help guys, maybe we can groove again soon!
