The Vortex sounds good to me.

I should be able to make it, but, honestly, it is all going to boil down to whether I feel like sticking around in-town for a couple of hours after work since I live too far out to go home and come back.

Lazy, yes. But, you know, honest, too...

 

I'm all in favor of an Atlanta Bass Shop.

A year or so ago I was looking at small/light cabs and could only find two of the five I was interested in within an hour's drive of Atlanta. I had basically given up on trying the AG 12 until bassmonkee lent one of his (thanks again!).

I'll may miss the meeting since I would be just taking up space, no real small business experience and no money to invest. OTOH, it would be good to see some of the folks again.

Finally (and a bit OT), I caught J-Raj's gig with his groove jazz/funk band at the Park. Tasty and interesting music and J-R is a very solid player. He doesn't post gig spam as far as I can tell, but check his website schedule. It'll be worth your while.

 

Heck, if you show up, Joe, I'll make a point to stick around in town to eat a big juicy Vortex Burger just to say Hi.


I haven't had the chance to check out J Rai yet, but as I am NOT above spamming, I hope to see everyone at The Five Spot in L5P from 10-1 this Friday, August 15th!!!!!!

 

Atlanta Bass Only Shop -- Ahhh, that would be sweet.

Although I'm up in Alpharetta, I think I can probably make the meeting at the Vortex.

 

Although I don't live in Atlanta,it's only a 4 hour drive from here in Knoxville.
I have a gu*tarist/gearhead buddy of mine,who lives in Alpharetta,and I pop into town from time to time to visit him,and do my occasional deal hunt for pieces of gear that I'm looking for.
I think a bass specialty shop is exactly what Atlanta has needed for a while.If you sell goods that no other shop in the area sells,and also sell your wares via the web,I bet it will be a profitable venture.
The closest in-town competition for "botique" (spelling?) bass gear would probably be Atlanta Discount Music,but I don't know how much bass stuff they carry now.I haven't been in there since I bought my Eden head in '95.
Since Ken Stanton has given up on Aguilar,that'd be a nice line to take on.It's also hard to find Tech 21 and Genz Benz dealers around who carries their heads and cabinets,so those companies would be a good possibilty also.
You guys are really on to something.

 

I think it is a great idea. I don't know if I can make it but I'll try. It is good to have bass players in the area because of all the gear that we can trade. If anyone is interested I will be playing at Fuzzy's on Tuesday August 26 with the Barry Richman band. I would love to meet you guys.

I live in ATL and am curious as to how the meeting goes...I would be interested in being a part of this, but may be unable to be at the Vortex Monday.

It would be appreciated if you posted progress on this front...

Thanks

 

This is exactlly why I will be getting the Aguilar db680 because it is a very musical preamp.

 

Snailplow I had the chance to A/B both Aggie db680 and the Eden Navigator at Bass Central and IMO the Aggie was just so damn good and musical and clean that I had forgot what the Eden sounded like.I did try the Eden and it was very nice but the Aggie was alot nicer.
