A lot of really nice basses this year.

For the 2nd year in a row, a Lakland Bass* is my favorite. Last year it was the Decade with the Dark Star pickups. This year it was the 4-94 with the new Lakland pickups/preamp. It sounded pretty freaking awesome!!!!

That's all for now. I've got to go take out the trash or my wife is gonna kill me.

*I excluded the 2 obvious brands. If I sad a Valenti was the best, that would be lame and spam and If I sad Sadowsky was the best, it'd be spam.

Nice pics, Nino!

The green Lakland was pretty sick sounding (thought I didn't a chance to play it)...David's Dingwall also blew me away.

Great time this afternoon!

Michaels Ibanez Musician was definitely one of the best basses I've ever played. Not to mention one of the oldest I've ever played that was in almost 100% PERFECT condition, that pic does it no justice.

i didnt play much today, but that parker fly bass was sooooooooo sick. im gassing so bad for it.

i always thought it was a stupid bass cuz it looks so odd lol. but damn it grows on you. not to mention how sick it sounds, and thick, really thick and its got a great punch too

davids pedalboard was pretty tight, i really liked the discombobulation pedal, and that fuzz


damn, i just realized i didnt get to play with that theramin

who else would i setup next to, but mr. dave wilson, while tbirdbassist gives his rig the test run. not too keen on dave's ul112 breaking down w/ miswired speaker et al., but good thing nick was there to help him out, and save the epifani name from the awful flame war that almost was.


i distinctly remember this pedalboard being 5x larger.


and who else would i setup across from but mr. nino hisself? just look at those valenti's!! shoulda gotten a better pic of that caramelburst, cause it was quite mesmerising.


breaking it down with aram's brand spanking can still smell the UPS peanuts nordstrand. just a stunning piece of work.


another really cool bass, filak has his name *etched* into the headstock! laser bowling ball shops are your friend. definitely the coolest thing i saw this GTG.


one man just cannot have this many sadowskies. and FYI, that black M24 is just unbelievably light. first picking it up, almost threw it behind my head!


ahhh, nothing like a little epifani WALL to start your day.


bikeplate just slamming thru the epifani wall, while mr E hisself, nick looks on. and FYI, he was running his way cool sadowsky 4 into the UL902 powering all FOUR epifani cabs. to say the least, i had to catch my breath, cause bike's slappin' was knocking the wind out of me.


epifani shop dooder, shawn, rockin' some gospel on a sunday afternoon thru the performance 600 / PS112 stack.


why NYC is always so FREAKIN' loud.


just had to get a pic of major meh-TOH's awesome tattooes.


hmm... hope roger doesnt see this one...

big thx to major metal, and all who set up the GTG, the food, the hall, etc. had a blast even tho i had to cut out early. and yes, fig, that performance rig is calling your name.
