Western/Upstate NY GTG

Alright rather than hijacking the other NY thread, I propose we discuss some ideas here. Any ideas for when, where or why would be great.

Dirk, How about your house Fri? BWWWAAAAAA

Hey I was at Rossi's last week and saw your six string. VERY nice piece indeed. Any others in the works?

Hey Jerry!
Nice to see you being the first to post here!
I think this Friday might be out for me. LOL

Glad you got to check it out. I got to play it for one gig and had to give it up, other wise it would have stayed in my playing line up.

I'm currently working on 3 things, 1st being the fiberglass rehab bass. 2nd is another update/mod of a Warmouth Bass for a customer. And 3rdly I'm trying to figure out what I want to build for myself, it's really tough to figure out what I want/need. Also Larry at Gallery Hardwoods is tempting me with some various woods and fingerboards.

So do you have any ideas for a get together?
Dirk

Some folks on the wnymusic.com site used to put together a fairly regular g2g type event known as the "bass ball". Hasn't been one in a while... not sure what happened... seemed to be a pretty decent turnout most of the time. Think it was Paul Schmid (So Low Bass on wnymusic and here on TB) that put them together for the most part.

Here's one thread over there that followed it for a bit. Perhaps you can get some interest going between some of the folks over there and people on here to put something bigger together.

if it was near uica/oswego i would be down to drive, maybe even the cuse...i dont think i could swing a buffalo or rochester trip though.

Vic Winters · #6 11-05-2007, 10:23 PM

Like I said in the other thread, I'd be down depending on when and how far away.

Hey nice to see there might be some interest. I'm south of Rochester so I was thinking perhaps trying to do a GTG in the Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo area. I'd be happy to bring my rig and several basses.
Anyone have any places that would work?
I assume a weekend day?
Do we want to do just basses or rigs too?

Please post your thoughts here.
Thanks,
Dirk

Dirkus...and others

Relatively new to this Talkbass thing...but I searched "Rochester" to see what came up...would totally be into a GTG. Obviously dont get to hang with other bass players too often!

(Dirk ..its Dave P)

BTW, Dirk getting into the build thing, but starting slow...just doing a Frankenjazz......Moses fretless neck, Linseed refinish, Nordy's (NJ4SE) and an Audere pre, badass Bridge...just an initial foray into this whole thing and I am seeing how seductive it can be!! This weekend I'll be shielding the cavities and first coats of oil on the body. ALso, want to talk to you about making ramps....(when you get a chance....would love to put one on the Fodera, and others if possible).

OK Im out...

ALso see that all your guys posts are from about 4 years ago...soooooo see how it goes

DGbass70 · #10 11-02-2010, 05:51 AM

An Upstate GTG would be cool......

I live in Akron (no, not Ohio, the little village near Buffalo) and would be totally into a Western New York GTG! How can we get this thing rolling?

We need an organizer. So far, no one has stepped up to the plate, as we can see by the 2007 date at the start of this thread.

The closest we've had is when TB'er So Low Bass had a bass bash in North Tonawanda a couple years back. There were only a handful of people there, but I dont' think the word got out here enough for an official "TB GTG". More of a local thing.

I went to one of the Bass Balls - it was me and 2 other peeps....

Be nice to get a bigger one happening sometime.

I go to school at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It would be fairly trivial to book a room or hall somewhere on campus for a mini bass ball.

That or maybe House of Guitars? Definitely interested as well
