[RicPlaya]

Lots of A Square (that's Ann Arbor for the non-Michiganders) members!

 

[Luke19Boarder]

It's a custom bass cab company (Low Down Sound), that until about a year ago, also was a high end bass only retail store. We had GTG's a couple of times a week in that store, and it was just a great place for bassists to hang and meet each other. The cab company is going strong, the retail store just couldn't make ends meet in these tough times, and with all the on-line competition.

As a result, the bass community has 'drifted apart' up here a bit. I surely don't see most of the guys any more. It's kind of a bummer.

And all this time I thought you were a Mormon.

I do wear one of those diaper things sometimes, but that was more inspired by some of the guys in P Funk versus the Mormon faith.

Yo yo yo!!!!
Lived in the "D".
Now in Ferndale (like 45 seconds from the old LDS shop- VERY bad!!!)
And in a week or two I'll be in Oxford!


And Burk...stop calling Ken names!!! He's no mormon, he's a pretty smart guy!

I always loved these two pictures of one of our Detroit GTG's with Will's crazy bass

.

It's a test, which one of these best represents 'the Detroit funk'?

It would be great to meet you (and everone else), beautiful amps by the way, really stand out from the rest. Finally got to see one in person and was blown away with the craftsmanship (not to mention the sound!).
