Hey, Fivestringgecko, in case you check the forum before you head out, I'm going to try to come by the shop when you are doing your cab shoot out.

It was cool you came by man! I did end up trading in my Avatars to Dan and going with the two Berg 1x12s. All those cabs sounded good, but the Bergs spoke just that little bit better with my gear. A little more than I wanted to spend, but in the long run I think it'll be worth it. Great sound, will be much easier to load, and more flexible/modular than even the Berg 2x12 I'd previously been eyeballing. Looking forward to gigging them!

BumbleB/Beer Surgeon.. It's sort of a good thing you didn't stop in. I got halfway there and realized I completely forgot my Zoom! :hmm:

5sg.

Sorry I wasn't able to make it but sounds like you had a great time get some new gear!

All good man, next time!

The problem I ran into was that they were all great cabs and I think I would've been happy with all of them. That's why it was such a touch decision!

We'll see... looking forward to gigging them! My funk band has a possible gig coming up at the Downtown Rock Bottom on the 26th, I'm crossing fingers that it doesn't fall through!

Let us know about the gig and I'll try to make it out!
 
Have to say I really enjoyed meeting y'all at the GTG! There was some fantastic gear AND playing that all kicked ass:bassist:. It was great to be able to hang with so many CO bassists in the best bass store in the region! What an awesome place to get together. Thanks to Dan, Eric and everyone else. This should be a regular gathering...

BTW, if anyone has a forgotten and neglected Verellen amp I can certainly help to find it a caring home ;)
 
It only took about 4 times looking over the photos to realize that this is a pic of me! Thanks for the photos!!

Which one are you, Beersurgeon?

I think that's my ARM in the lower right corner! :D lol

5sg, I'll be in touch about my next trip up there.

For anyone else, too, my kid is going back to school in 3 weeks so I "might" celebrate with a visit to PBG ;)

yes, that is me, beersurgeon. Unfortunately, I had to leave early from the GTG but look forward to meeting more TBers in the future! If you go up to PBG and meet up with 5sg, let me know and I'll try to crash your mini GTG!
 
Lol. Or we could just plan mini get togethers... Going up for Matt's trio deal on the 3rd sounds like a good time for one to me. I want to drop off my fretless for Kellye to mod and can't make it this weekend, so I'll be up there on the 3rd and plan on sticking around.

B - unfortunately the Downtown gig fell through. A band that had previously played for them "suddenly became available," so that's that. :hmm: Also, I could show up early on the 3rd if you want to check out that Zoom. Let me know!

What are you having done to your stealth fretless?
 
That's a bummer, 5sg! :( Keep us posted of the other gigs coming up so we can do our best to come out and groove!

I am indeed hoping to get to PBG early for Matt's trio gig. I never know what's going to go down at my crazy little zoo so I can't make any promises ;)

BTW, who was it that had that impromptu jam with Matt at the GTG? I was pretty impressed! Looking forward to the day where I can do something like that :D

Oh, and is Kellye's official business name Lighthouse Luthier? I seem to have misplaced her business card. :rollno:
