Hello all! I haven't been to one of these in forever, but I'm really hoping to make it out this weekend. I think the last one I was at was maybe the first one? Kraigo, we blew up my Ampeg Portabass head that day (I think that was with you, anyway). Ha!

Anyway, in terms of what I'm bringing, I just have a GK MB112 for an amp, so I'll probably bring that. For basses I'll bring my G&L L-1000 and a funky old Japanese copy of an Eko violin bass. I could also bring an Epiphone EB-0 with a Dimarzio Model 1 pickup installed if anyone is curious what that sounds like. I'm working on another EB-0 8-string conversion, but I don't think it'll be together by Sunday (I'll try though!). I'll probably bring a pedalboard full of fun toys as well, if anyone's into that sort of thing.

I'm not 100% I can make it (have 3 small kids at home and a wife with a very irregular and unpredictable work schedule), but I'm crossing my fingers!

TALKBASS GTG - NEW HOURS - SUPER BOWL INSPIRED CHANGE

The times are now Noon to 4PM! Moved 2 hours earlier and Expanded to 4 hours!

(If you haven't already) Contact me for address and any other info. Mini-Seminar by Charles Fletcher (at 2PM)... Kenner being his intense self!

I'll be bringing an AWESOME Jazz Bass by Ben Lindsey. Lonny is bringing some of his... BASS PORN in abundance! HDRacer's incredible Fender CAR P5... Stuff for sale... (bring $$$)

LOTS of gear to drool over, BEER, and more Bass-Talk than anywhere else on the planet that day!

Looks like a really good turnout... lets make it GREAT!

I'll be there shortly after 1pm as I'm running sound at church. I'm excited as always.

Hey Fellow MN TBers

I'm sorry to say, it looks like I won't be meeting you folks just yet. I'm sure to regret it, but decisions had to be made. I truly hope to make it to one of these some time. Thanks for making me feel welcome though.

jro · #**906** 02-03-2013, 11:47 AM

Hi MN TBers,
I was hoping to make this one as well but being a Dad has preempted my plans. I'll be sure to make the next one though.

I hope you all have fun, I won't be making it

EthanTheHeathen · #**908** 02-03-2013, 12:29 PM

Dang it, foiled once again. Wife had to schedule a mtg, so I'm at home with kiddies. Next time! I'm determined!

gurensan · #**909** 02-03-2013, 04:59 PM

Thanks for the fun! It was a good time, got to hobnob and chat and play around quite a bit. Thanks to ExaltBass for bringin' in his nut files, as my nuts got filed, and thanks to hdracer for havin' us all out! Was a blast. 4 hours is way too short.

Special thanks to Rumbl for his mini-seminar! His topic is still an area I need a ton of work on.

My wife loves that Musicmaster. She couldn't take her eyes off it.

Next time I'll be sure to have an amp you can hear over the din, and make sure the wife's thumpin' on her own gear! >;]

Teaching time!

Thanks Charles, you helped me pull a few concepts together, and gave me a lot to work on!

**ExaltBass** · #**911** 02-03-2013, 05:38 PM

Lots to see, as always!

I spent a lot of my time drooling over here!

I was happy really! Love-Love-Love this bass!
