East Tennessee Talkbass

A notherner looked at my PJB rig the other day and said "Five inch speakers! Why, that's nothing, we have cabs the size of a carton of smokes with two-thousand ipod speakers! And what's up with those crooked frets?"

(Disclaimer: I can make fun of Yankees, technically I'm from up thar...)
 
Hello to all the ETTB brethren. I've decided to return from my self-imposed TB exile and get back into the flow of things here.

I had a great time playing 1776 at Oak Ridge Playhouse in July. I've played four shows this year so far, but probably won't be in action in theatre again until November.

Jeff Roller's summer of wretched gear excess. :) What the heck is that nutzo PJB cabinet??

It was fun reading back through what all has transpired this summer. I take it a GTG has not happened this year?

A GTG is possible, I just really need to hear about commitment. It's a lot of work and trouble if only a couple guys show up. Not that it still can't be fun with low attendance, but you get the picture.

If someone wants to take lead on lining up peotential dates and garnering participation, I'm positive we can use the church in Maryville again.
 
That Saturday date would be much better for me. The Sundays were always too hard for me to make due to church. I am having some health issues at the moment, but Lord willing by then I will be back healthy and have that day off and be able to come. I would love to meet some of you guys and put names to faces and such. If you are like me, I have "PM'ed" a lot of you guys but never got to meet in person. I look forward to being able to do that!!
Thanks,
Barry
 
It's on!

Saturday October 18th from noon to 3:00 PM.

Have to cut it off at 3, I have a gig that evening that's a long haul, so I have to be on the road no later than 3:30.

Three hours is a good amount of quality GTG time though, so mark your calendars!

Address:

River Oaks Community Church 1220 Brown School Rd. Maryville, TN 37804

Please post if you plan to attend, and if you don't mind, list gear you'll be bringing.
Also, list any gear you might be interested in selling or trading. Great opportunity to try and buy!
 
I may or may not be able to attend. It depends on an opera I'm doing. I'll get back to you ASAP.
If i come I'll be bringing my super p 5
And my sjkold of its not sold, but I have some trade interest on it
My Aguilar db112 which I may sell or trade. Who knows.
And my go mb fusion 500

Welcome back Michael Vee !!
If my health allows for it and I am not working that day, here is what I will be bringing to the GTG:

Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 Head
(2) Aguilar DB 112 NT's
Church Pedalboard (consisting of all the Aguilar Pedals)

2005 Warwick Streamer Stage One Neckthru 5 String
2004 Warwick Standard Corvette Fretless 5 String
1996 Warwick Thumb Bolt On 4 String (currently For Sale)

***** If anyone requests them, I could bring these combo amps as well: *****
Fender BXR100
Acoustic B100 MK II

***** If anyone is interested in this, I could easily bring my church guitar rig which is basically a Line 6 Pod HD500 and bring an amp and a guitar or 2 if we wanted to have a little jam session or something of that sort. I don't know if time would allow or if we would even want to or have enough people to. I just thought I would throw that out there. """"

I should know within the next few weeks about my health condition and whether or not I can commit to it by then or not.
