Cincinnati GTG 09

[XCincyBassMan]

That's OK man. I'm on the Westside of town, just up from Seton & Elder HS (on Glenway Ave) near Rapid Run. I think my neighborhood is considered to be Upper Price Hill. Eh, no biggie...

I'm subscribing to this thread just to see where it's all going down at. I won't know until it's almost time if I can make it or not but more than likely I should be able to.

Oh, and ModulusAcacia, bring that redwood Acacia PLEEEEEZ?????

Consider it done! I'll bring out the big guns this year: the Redwood Acacia, the Pink ivory acacia, the 10-string Acacia, and my new F bass AC5 fretless. The 10-string hasn't left the house for more then a rare band practice, but it's one of the most ridiculous instruments ever built. It sounds like a freight train!

I'd really be interested in checking out the fretless F bass.

Yep, I'll definitely be there now!!!

3/21 looks alright for me so far. Whoever is running the show this year, I can volunteer some help if ya want.

Sadly, I won't have a whole lot to bring this time.

+1 on that.

Looking forward to this. Sundays are better for me but I should be able to swing most Saturdays.

Hey, Andy. I *might* have the Scroll bass by the time we meet. Also the BaCHBird (with any luck)

I have a gig on the night of the 21st, but it's no problem for me to come over to Cincy earlier and then drive back.

As would I.

Are minors allowed? (18yr old) =)

Are newbies allowed? I don't know anything about gear since I'm just starting out but sounds fun. What do you guys do on a GTG? From what I've read here sounds like an instrument showcase/social event.

That describes it pretty well-we just get together, hang out, and play basses.

Don't be scared to come out because you're new to the instrument-we all started somewhere. The fact that you're under 21 shouldn't present an issue, since there isn't any alcohol at these things.

Hang out, talk about bass stuff, play all kinds of basses you'd probably never get to play through gear that a lot of us could never afford.

It is a good friendly time. Come on down.

You better! I keep hearing about these awesome and crazy basses but all I ever see is your smiling face.

Must have missed the first one... don't get around on the board much here sometimes.
Got a nice gig that night in Silverton, but could come in early.
Not been to a GTG, but sounds like a good time, and a good way to find more things i didn't know I really really "needed".
What time of day (or did I miss that post)?

Justin, when did you get the F bass? I can't wait to see that.

 

[capnsandwich]

So have we confirmed a date and a place yet? I'm seeing the 21st a lot in this thread but I'm not sure who's in charge of the actual planning.

 

[mikeyswood]

I will take responsibility since I started this thread. Let's do March 21 at high noon.

Adam; last year was quite successful with your planning. I hope that we can have the same or better success this year.

Bob; is last year's site available?

Oooh a newbie......
Well, it all starts by flogging any newbies with "the B-string of habitude". A ritual that, some believe, instills the incessant urge to practice one's chops.
I personally believe that it, instead, instills GAS more than anything.
Then we all try eachother's gear or combinations of gear.

Sweet, I'll bring the Vaseline and toothbrushes.

I still have the blindfold, but the paddle from last year was broken. Should we insist that the newbie bring his own paddle?

The coconuts are still in good shape.

What are the coconuts for? Am I gonna have to shove them up my **s one by one?
