Bay Area California - let's hang out postcovid!

I haven't been to a GTG since 2013 or so. It was in Boulder Creek and definitely was a blast. Got to try all kinds of great instruments and amplifiers. Jule Potter was there showing off his Monique preamp. I even got to meet Jean Baudin and play his Joust Bass through a stereo PJB rig.
Let's do it, it's been too long!

Ok, a 3 year zombie meet up thread. Why not? I’m in the South Bay. Where my peeps?

 

[callofcthulhu]

Lol will my prediction come true?

I'm in Oakland.

I am also East Bay but work on the peninsula. Down to talk some shop and drink some drink.

I’m East Bay, up for a meetup in the new year!

 

[NeilGB]

I’m East Bay, too.
Would be happy to meet up in the Bay Area and talk bass.

I was in the East Bay for quite a while but I've been living up in the North Bay since 2020. I'd love to GTG with folks some time.

Where can we do this? Who has the biggest house? I'll bring a matched stereo pair of Millennia TD-1 's if anyone has ever been curious about trying one. My last GTG in 2013 everyone compiled a list of gear to avoid redundancies and overcrowding/space constraints.

Don't have the place to host, but have queso dip to bring. Happy to chill at a Fieldwork or some such venue as well.

Happy New Year all!

I would totally do a poll for dates/place, if I knew how to. If someone can, feel free to pop that into the thread.

Barring that, it's feeling like Oakland might be the most central for folks. I haven't been to Drake's in a while, and they have nice options for non-drinkers too. It's close to Econo Jam if folks want to go argue about records.

This coming weekend is MLK, so if people have day jobs, they get an extra day off. I'd be down to clown if other folks are free.

Wait a minute, are we talking about just hanging out and talking bass? Last GTG was bringing gear to show off, and try out people's basses, amps pedals etc. Just wondering about the intention of said GTG. I'm good either way, just don't want to show up with a truck full of gear and have it sit outside the whole time. I'm an overthinker and have to organize my thoughts long before executing them. Hehe, Ryan

That sounds sick. You can tell this would be my first one of these, as I didn't know that was the name of the game. Would love to do a gear-meet, if we can find a host. Otherwise, I'll try and join my local synagogue.
