Upstate NY GTG ??

[Figjam]

Good point, Mike Tobias operates out of Kingston, how awesome would it be if he could come.

mike dimin is a product specialist for mtd basses and lives in the capital region....i could ask him for some help with mr tobias...

[Figjam]

I saw Mike Dimin give a little clinic at the NYC GTG last fall.

[gkbass13]

i think albany would be a lovely location:-)

[gkbass13]

mike's a really good guy...his signature mtd is amazing too.

[gkbass13]

oh yeah, he's not that bad of a player either:-P

[SBassman]

There are few different builders.
Tobias would be cool.

There's also Veillette in Woodstock.

The GTG could potentially be a walk through somebody's shop - then going someplace else nearby for food and bevs.

I'll happily make the trek upstate for this.

Mind you, anyone who lives in NYC considers Yonkers 'upstate'

Exactly. It's a relative term.

When I was growing up in Queens, New Yawk,
Upstate for us meant The Catskills.

Depending on where you live, upstate can mean
Albany or Bath.

Too true. Those of us from this region don't consider it 'upstate'. We consider this Central New York.

I had a girlfriend in Poughkeepsie (or however you spell it) and when I visited her it was 'downstate'.

For gear I can bring:

Dingwall AB-1
PRS EB (2001 run)
73 Precision
MIJ mid 90's fretless Jazz
MIA early 90's Jazz w/Fralins
Schroeder 1212
Mesa 400+
and a Avatar 112SB (that I'd be happy to unload)

Regional people keep posting so we can see if there IS interest, and where people would prefer to do this.

a factory walkthrough would be really cool. i think it's funny when friends of mine from the city refer to westchester as upstate. im deffinitely glad i started this thread, seems liek some good things will come of it. any ideas for when we shoudl try to organize something?

[Figjam]

You spelled it right Poughkeepsie

I would bring
1997 musicman sterling
2006 stingray 5 hh
Epifani UL310
Ashdown mag300

probably. I'm picky about having my basses traveling in hot cars in the summer, though.

TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING.

True, but AC and moving air is good. At this point (mid July) by the time we herd all the kitties, I be we're looking at a time post-super-hot weather, though.

[gkbass13]

Kingston would be great.

[werbo1]

Hehe, I'd totally love Kingston. I know one guy who would be glad to come depending on the date.

I have - EA iamp600, two EA VL110s, MTD Grendel and Fretless Saratoga

Plus, I know a club that i could probabaly get for a day. They owe me one big time for all the work i do for them
