Also one thing i forgot about again. Snacks and beverages. (thanks Billy) Now, there is a bp and dunkin donuts across the street. Or we can get some people together who would be willing to bring stuff. And lets not forget the man who owns a deli or what ever it is a few doors down. Maybe if we buy stuff from him, hell leave us alone this time

Seriusly though let me know what ya guys think.

I'm not sure what I'll bring as far as gear, myself. I have two semi-rare cabinets...

Maybe I'll bring both.

What time will this thing start? I would love to be there on time but I coach on Saturday's and live an hour away so hopefully it will start at 2 so I won't miss too much....... hint, hint.

Currently scheduled noon - 4:00 pm. You'll have plenty of time!

pgurns · #**126** 09-26-2006, 08:14 PM

I'm definitely in. I'm glad we got a date nailed down.

I have a G&L L1000 if anyone has any interest in hearing one or playing one I can bring it.

Hey Munji, think you can make it?

Warwickthumb · #**128** 09-27-2006, 04:08 AM

After the GTG i will be posting a thread for comments/suggestions. This will be the second year we had a Chicago GTG. I know it will be better then last years!! I have looked at some of your suggestions and have taken them into consideration for the next GTG. Im planning on having it in the spring. Mark has been kind of enough to let us use his shop. But i think its time to try a diffrent place. I have one place in mind right now. And I will be contacting him soon. Im sure you all know who/what it is

. And I will try my best to make it happen!!! Also im wondering if I could recuit a few of you to help me plan this and other upcoming GTGs. Just a thought.

What usually goes on at these things? I wouldn't mind going but my chops arent in condition yet after my 10 year hiatus and I really don't want to play. But to hang out and get to know some of you would be great. And the wife wants to go to chicago anyhow.

Warwickthumb · #**130** 09-27-2006, 02:23 PM

Basicly Jauqo will give a clinic. And I'm sure they will be a Q&A session. After that basiclly we hang out. Check out other peoples gear. Play some of the basses Mark has at the Bass Club. So if you feel your chops arnt up to par. THats no reason not to go. Who knows you may learn something.

I haven't seen vic reply on the boards. Hmm wonders if he knows. I promise I wont dog your MTD this time!!!

Several things:

What is the parking situation? We definetly need to have a solid idea of where we can park since that was one of the issues in setting this whole thing up.

When it comes to bringing gear I'm all for checking out all kinds of stuff, but remember Bass club is a small shop. Last year we pretty much packed it out and I'm counting on having more people this year, so we may need to keep the bass count down to what you really want to show off, or at least leave stuff in your car and bring in a few at a time. Once we get a roll call/gear call thread going we should have a better idea. I'll try to get one going in the next few days.

When it comes to amps, It got loud in there last year. We spend all our time on here bashing guitar players at GC for cranking up there amps then we go and do the same thing at the GTG. Let's keep it down this year.

Joe, if you need help with anything for this or future GTG's just lemme know!

Warwickthumb · #**133** 09-27-2006, 06:35 PM

Good Call!! If you bring alot of gear thats cool. But you might have to leave some in the car until the clinic is over. Of course that depends on how many come. Last year we literaly packed the joint!!!!! And there was barley any room to breathe. Im of course hoping for a bigger turnout. But who knows. Ahh yes parking. That was a big deal last year. We had to fight with a the resturant owner about parking. He says we were taking business away from him. Which he had none anyways. Go figure. There is some parking in the back. Thats were I parked. There is a duncan donuts across the street. Maybe if you buy a donut they wont mind. I think some people parked on the street past the DD. Anyone remember? Like Ive said before. I know space and parking is limited. So Im working on changing some things for the next GTG.

pgurns · #**134** 09-27-2006, 09:18 PM

Any player can learn from any other player regardless of relative abilities. I think that Victor Wooten mentioned in one of his videos that when he first started playing with Bela Fleck, he had Bela play his bass for a while...from which he gained inspiration.

I'm a rather simple player and I've been told by a friend that he finds it very difficult to play with that much space between notes....so even a guy with an impressive command of the instrument can learn something from me.

So...please play away at the GTG (and if I'm standing around please remind me of my own advice)....it's a rare opportunity to try out different instruments and other gear.

One thing i keep on forgeting to post. Some of you posted or have PMed me about snacks. For those of you so kindly offering to bring snacks pm me about what your planning on bringing. So i have a general conseses(sp??) of whats being brought.

LaneOnBass · #**138** 10-13-2006, 01:27 PM

Although I'm a member here, I don't get to hang out nearly as much as I would like. But I did want to let y'all know I'll be at this one, and I'll be bringing a my personal WT1205/610XLT rig, as well as a D212XLT and 210MBX. If all goes well, I'll also have the new WTX260. Might even have a few T-shirts and stuff.

Can't wait to see Jauqo III-X again...

clavefa · #**139** 10-13-2006, 07:15 PM

I won't be able to make this GTG like I wanted

I have to work tomorrow.
I could'nt say no b/c i only started working there 3 weeks
ago.
It's a small CPA firm in the loop and this is the final weekend
push for all the procrastinators that got extensions to file
their tax returns so everybody is working .
I get off @ 3:00 PM so that settles that.

On the plus side it is time and a half and free lunch.
I was really looking foward to meet my fellow lowenders
I know JAUQOs' set will be sick!

And I was going to show off the OlP i just bought with a Basslines and flats.

Peace,
Oz

I just posted about the GTG on the roll call thread. If the moderator wants to move it, that would be fine.
