BC / Vancouver / Valley Bass Quake '06 IS A GO!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys,
So I'm putting together a bit of a GTG at the store that I work at out in Langley. It's Act 1 Music and I've got SUNDAY NOV. 19th booked from 1-5pm for the first annual Valley Bass Quake.

my hopes are that it'll be an event to get all of us Vancouver/Fraser Valley bassists together for a few hours to talk shop, try gear and just hang out/network.

It's a pretty casual affair, Mike Kinal will be coming out to do a talk on set-up and building and I'm trying to get a few other guys out for some Q&A.

There will be some door prizes (t-shirts/strings/etc.) and basically just a fun hang to try some gear in the store AS WELL AS BRINGING YOUR basses and amps for a good ol' GTG

feel free to email me with any questions.

hope to see a bunch of you there.

best,
Pete

ps. IT'S FREE (ofcourse) &.... Double Bassists, feel free to come as well!!!! I'm a little rusty on my Petrachi's(sp?) but would love to have some of the Doghouse Brethren there as well

Is it a bass-only store? Or a general music store?

Genral music store, but as soon as you walk in they have their bass wall, one of the first things you see. At least thats the way it was when I was there last.

Hmm... Are WA folk welcome? A quick check of mapblast indicates you're only a few hours away. I might be up for another road trip. There's plenty of stuff for the family to do in Vancouver.
