Chicagoland Worship GTG

[davec]

This Sunday bump

 

[basspraiser]

There is a possibility I can make it up from the south side.....

I may FINALLY get to meet you then!

I'll be the fat old guy in the LOG T-shirt...standing next to the old skinny tall guy in the LOG shirt (Greg)!

 

[basspraiser]

OK then,
I'll be representing the "budget-modder" end of things.
I'll have:
-Peavey VB-2 with an ampeg portabass 2x10
-Artcore with Jack Cassady pup/elec
-T-40 meets Decade Frankenbass

If there's any interest, I could also bring along a very nice '79 T-40.

One other question. A guitarist friend of mine heard about the last GTG, and asked to be included in the next go-around. Would that be OK? I haven't mentioned this to him, so if that's outside the scope of this gathering, than that's fine.

Bring him! we cannot play music with just all basses....well Spinaltap can but....that's a whole differnet story!

 

[basspraiser]

Looking forward to it!

I'll bring some soda and snacks.....anyone else?

also - we can always take up a collection for some 'za....(pizza that is)!

anyone have anyhting they particularily want me to bring (see my signature).....would love to play teh '79 T-40...had an '82 - kind of miss it!

 

[yankeesman714]

Is anyone considering bringing an EUB?

Would love to try one...or at least see one in action.

Thanks.

I was planning on bringing my "favorite" basses(decade, 55-94, Starfire, Glaub), but if anybody see's something they want to check out specifically that I have, I'm happy to load up the car!

yankeesman714, I can bring my Yamaha EUB for you to check out.

Basses:
Lakland: Osborn fretted and fretless, Decade, Glaub P/J, 55-94, Skyline Darryl Jones, prototype Lightwave fretless.

Sadowsky NYC ultra vintage, Fender 1966 Precision, Fender Jaguar, Guild '96 Starfire, MTD 535, Danelectro DC, Yamaha EUB.

I'm planning on bringing a Markbass F1 with a Mesa cab, and my two pedalboards.

 

[ssommer]

anyone have anything they particularly want me to bring

basspraiser, I'd love to compare Glaub PJ's! I think the J pickup is routed in an odd spot on mine, and would love to see what it's supposed to sound like!

Oh man! You have some really nice gear, I have to resist asking you to bring too much. Does your Decade have Dark Stars? If so, I just got a Skyline Decade with Chi's--that could be a very interesting comparison.

If you wouldn't mind bringing the BB750, that'd be a fun comparison with my Walkabout. I'd also like to try the VT pedal with the Walkabout, I'm thinking of getting one of those. Which Mesa cab do you have?

 

[Eilif]

I'd defiately like to be able to A/B a decade with Chi's and one with DSs'. It looks like we have both coming, and that wil be awesome!

 

[davec]

snack request list /

bringing Coke/ potato chips/ pretzels

 

[ssommer]

Yeah, my Decade has the DS's in it. It'll be very cool to compare the new Chi's and the DS's!

I'll see if I can bring the Mesa Big Block, it lives in my band van right now. VT pedal will be there for sure.

davec, I'd like to add a +2 to the list of attendees. Two good friends from my church can come, too(Ruban and Dan). It should account for another couple cool 55-94's in attendance as well!

Yes, indeed! Mine has nickels on it, BTW--I just got it last week, so I won't be changing the strings anytime soon.

No worries if the Big Block can't make it. I'm looking forward to the VT, I'm really close to buying one.

 

[Limpingbass]

Hope everyone stays around till 7 pm or later as I can only come around 4-5ish.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Done ....would love to try the Lightwave proto....I remember you talking about that in the past - also - I really want to try the Guild....I ALMOST traded for one and need to know if I made a wise choice or not! I ended up with a 44-02 fretless instead......

one more day bump!!!

GAS too much for you Greg (regarding the VT)?!

I will come "fresh" off of playing my JO5 at Church in the morning....."Woody" will be all warmed up and ready to play!!!

I may just have to bring the whole enchilada...as far as amps, I MAY bring my Hartke Vx2510...

Thanx Dave for hosting this event. And thanx to Poplar Creek church for opening the doors.
Most of those who tried it seemed to like my Yamaha/EA mini rig
