DFW get-together anyone??

Basically (for all points Texas) get on I-35 towards Dallas
*Go north beyond Dallas
*Take the BUSINESS 121 exit (DON"T take the Hwy 121 exit)
*Take a right so you're now headed north on Business 121
*You will go over some railroad tracks
*Look for 1047 E. Hwy. 121 Unit D3 (it'll be on your left)

Okay, and this is a shop I'm looking for? I am lost around here but as of today I do know where the Business 121 exit is off 35.

Talk me down, lads.

You'll be cool, Bovine. As you approach Lewisville (going northbound on I-35), you'll see Hwy 121 first. DON"T take that. After Hwy 121, you'll see the Corporate Drive exit, THEN the Business 121 exit. That's your path!!! Take a right, then go about a mile.

See you there!
 
Um, you guys know I'm really a Dudepit guy, right? There won't be any lynching or any of that, right?

Plus I moderate the official EBMM bass forum.

But look, I'M JUST LIKE YOU! Only uglier and older, prolly.

I think I won't pack up an amp or cabs then. Sounds like you fellers have that covered pretty well.

Well, now that depends on what kind of gear you have!!!

We want as much of a variety of gear as possible. Or at least I do :D

Have any 2x10 cabs? If so, you're required, by my say, to bring them :D

I have a 2X8, a fender head and a peavey microbass combo. Think I ought to bring them? They aren't that impressive, but the're good for plugging into for just messin' round.

I don't think anybody should hold back anything they own unless there are physical limitations that make one unable to load it, or if it's just something like a practice amp. Unloading and re-loading upon departure won't be a problem because I'll personally volunteer to help load and unload any and all gear that is brought to this shin-dig.

I'm bringing everything I own except for my Fender BXR60. Although it is a great amp, I don't think it's going to be heard over the 2x15's, the 2x10's, the 4x10's.........ohhhhhhh man :D

By my count, that's 24. I talked to NJL from San Antonio the other day, but I can't remember what he said. I think he said it was possible, but not probable.

24. Wow. That's also a lot of gear. Lots and lots. I'm diggin' it :D

Can I still come?
 
Yo, don't count me out yet! This thing is starting to look more possible.

I said in an earlier post that I couldn't make it because I'm moving to California to start a new job on August 2. But I hurt my back, somehow, monday. (This sounds like a convoluted reason, I know.) Because I haven't worked much this week, I may have to set my move to Cali back by a week because, financially, I just can't afford to go out there without a good amount of $$ saved to get an apartment, etc. Probably need to work here an extra week.

So I might be there. If there's any way, I will.
I really would like to meet you folks. (Ok, I admit, I don't give a rip about meeting you. I just want to play your basses. :smug: )

If I come, I'll bring a pile of Carvin gear.

Does that mean Ernie Ball Music Man?
I moderate the discussion forums on the Carvin website.We could discuss troll extermination tactics or something. :p
 
What's the rule on bringing friends? No, I'm not bringing some bimbo. I have a buddy who plays bass. I've mentioned talkbass to him a couple times, but I don't think he's ever registered. He's got two or three Fenders and two Ibanez ATK's, an ampeg stack and a rack full of toys. I ask because I'll probably crash at his place when I'm down there, so I might be able to drag him over with me.
