Hey, if any of you guys are listening. This Thursday the Fender Custom Shop road show is going to be at Cosmo Music in Richmond Hill. One of the items they are bringing is a 1951 (reissue?) P in Candy Apple Red.

Also a chance to meet some of the guys who build the custom shop guitars if I'm reading the promo on their web site.

My hometown is Burlington (lived here for 23 years!) but I'm in Kingston 8 months out of the year for school (Queen's students represent!)

I've only been playing since Oct. 1 (yeah, less than a month) so I probably wouldn't go to any GTGs, but maybe some day...

We all started sometime and weren't any good.
For me that was long ago. Unfortunately I'm still not that good.

No, that particular "trait" is not location-dependent....

Residin' in Canada's Capital, of course!

Has the GTG been planned/ carried out already? I'd love to meet fellow bassists from Ontario.

New England GTG

Have a look at the NE GTG thread. Seems like it was a big hit. No reason why a Toronto GTG wouldn't be as successful. They had bassists driving 3 hours to be there.

Hamilton born.
Then Burlington, Harlem (north of Kingston - look it up), Hamilton again, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Pincourt (outside of Montreal) and now San Diego.
Wish I was back in Southern Ontario!
