I just found a leather strap for you - how much?

A 'lil growler - sound fair?

[carl h.]

Heading out now. Just bringing the 15. If anyone wants to hear the PF500 powering a 410 or 810, by all means bring one.

I had an awesome time!

[Rawk Bassist]

A big thank you to hdracer (Greg) for hosting our GTG! You have an awesome shop, and if I wasn't checking out bass gear, I was checking out your amazing bikes and works-in-progress! Thanks also for grillin' us up some lunch too! There were a LOT of people here today and a lot of cool gear, and a dang lot of basses!







See the drum kit here? Not ONE person got behind it today! Drum and bass jams did NOT happen! Guess we just play bass, man....



...and we've answered the big important question of "best bass for metal!" (at least here in MN) ((yeah, I played it!))

Very nice deal .. super kudos to Greg and Matt for hosting and putting on the spread ... and to Dave for his help in organizing along with everybody else who contributed an effort to make it happen ... great bunch of folk, amazing gear and enough knowledge shared to last till the next one ... thank you!!

[Klopp18]

Thank you everyone for coming! I had a great time, I was really bummed I had to go to work early. There was so many great basses and rigs! Carl, you have me sold on a pf500 now.. Your lightwave was really great too! If anyone saw what I had for sale, they will probably be on craigslist soon. Also thanks Dave for helping putting this together too! It was really fun!

[MNAirHead]

Thanks guys just got home from some gtg overtime

[Luckie]

Killer time fellas, can't wait for the next one!

[ExaltBass]

Thanks Greg & Matt for all... great location, hosting, food & bevs! It was excellent to see everyone again.

[nealpolitan]

Sorry I missed it! Looks like a great turnout.

[scottbass]

WOW! What a great event! Thanks so much, Greg & Matt. It was great to meet everyone, try out some other rigs, talk about gigs, and eat some fantastic brats & burgers.

[carl h.]

Great time guys! If I had had my wits about me I should have turned on my DB meter in front of Luckies rig! May that thing could shake a room like nothing else!!

Next time I'll bring the 410svt twins with the PF500 and the bass pod.


Thanks for the Awesome grub Greg (HDracer), did the tips jar cover it? That was some good cake, hope you guys tried it too.

[hdracer]

I want to thank everyone that came, specially the ones that drove a long way. It was a great time. I always learn so much at these, basses, amps,cabs & effects.

One thing though........
There is still beer left in the fridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on guys, I could have three bikers here waiting on their bikes being worked on for a couple hours and they would have sucked it dry!


Let's do it again this winter. Say after New Years when we are going crazy with cabin fever?

Tim, I just noticed your post. I'll bring a growler at our next GTG. Brewing season starts on Saturday!

Thanks again for the strap. Works great with Grolsch strap locks.
