DFW get-together anyone??

[Biker4Him]

Ah shucks... thanks Freak.

Embellisher... well said. I enjoyed it enough that I'd come down again. It's always great to see the different facets of life/playing/music/skill etc.. all come together with a common interest. And honestly.. I left the GTG inspired, and with a renewed sense of passion for playing. I've already spent more time practicing since Sunday than I did the previous two months combined. It showed me I had gotten lazy and comfortable just doing what I do, and that I had lost sight of what could be. Some of ya'll are just plain awesome bass players.

So.. heck yeah... I'm looking forward to doing it again in the future. By spring, I'll probably be getting lazy again, and need another boost of inspiration.

I live about 20 minutes from Pete's shop in Carrollton. I couldnt really house as many people as what showed up Saturday, but there is a community pool right next to my place that has a club-house type thing as well. Also small and couldnt setup there, but we could deffinantly have some smaller group type jams at my place and do some swimming within 20 feet from my place.

my folks have a ranch down in Waxahachie that could easily be used for any kind of GTG. You can play as loud as you want, and there's a swimming pool and billiards and stuff. Just don't startle the sheep.

Didn't someone start playing "dualing banjo's" the other day?? I'm starting to wander if maybe it's safer up here in OKlahoma.... we don't have tell people to leave the sheep the alone...

Now that sounds like a plan!

We could do a christmas party, a spring BarB-Q, or a summer swim party.

Check to make sure it's cool with your folks, and then we can start making plans.

I know they would be cool w/ it. For some weird reason, they absolutely love to have events at their house.

 

[Juneau]

Alrighty, pick a date and get to planning!

 

[tuBass]

winter, spring, summer, or fall?

 

[Juneau]

"...all ya have to do is call, and Ill be there, yes I will"

Cool. Can I bring my guns?

For insurance purposes, that's probably not a good idea.

Pick a date and let me know.

I don't remember who, but someone requested that I post a recording of the version of the Star Spangled Banner that I played at the GTG. Enjoy.

I was always one of the short guys in my class. All the better to duck when the bullies would swing at me!

 

[Basso Gruvitas]

I just want to say how great it was to meet everyone. I am new to the forum and really had a great time meeting and listening to all in attendance.

Hey Rick!
Glad you could swing up and say hello! And I'm sure Pete will ALWAYS be glad to see a new dealer added to the herd.

Hope you sell that Skjold quickly. It's a lovely instrument. Speaking of Pete's basses, Did everyone see the singlecut body with the cocobolo-top that Pete had in his shop? It's only the body - it's still looking for a home. That's a sweeeeeeeet looker!

I left with a renewed sense of G.A.S.!

Pete, I want a 5-string like that ash Pro series with the J pickups!!

Jorg, I want one of your 1201's!!

Rader, I want your Nordstrand!!!

Is that the cherry burst looking finish one he had. (I think so, I think that's the only one I saw with the Bart J's in it.) That bass sounded amazing... I liked it better than the others, although they all sounded good!! That one just sounded perfect to me. And was the reason for me wanting a new bass... soon!!
