The legendary John Gardner is in East TN. (Elizabethton? Erwin?) Somewhere nearby. He's been on a who's who list of studio sessions in Nashville. As good as it gets.

Haven't heard much talk recently about the idea for a Summer gtg. I'd really like to attend the next one, but since summer is the time for holidays and travel etc. some fore-planning needs to be done. Any chance we could set a target date?

zoomie - I strongly recommend Berg cabs, but I'm not sure the description of what you're looking for is the same as what they are. The distinctive feature with Bergs is a very smooth mid sound. There's no harshness there at all, so for those who are looking for something to cut through a lot of volume, I'm not sure it's the way to go. To be fair, I haven't heard their large cabinets, so maybe those are different. The 112s are as high quality as you can get, but I think the goal is quality over quantity.
For those that play at massive volumes the fearfuls seem to be hugely popular. Also, the Thunderchild 15 is the 8th wonder of the world. A pair of those would handle an insane amount of power, push a ton of air and still be easy on the back. They are 4ohm cabinets, however.
that I bought in '10 and spent a fair amount of time and $$ bringing the bass side back up to better than original condition (ALL NEW: 2 pups, selector switch, pots, and a Hipshot bridge). I'd prefer to sell it locally due to the size and weight. It comes w/ a metal case said to have belonged to Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac. I've got over $1100 invested, plus my time doing all the repairs. I'll sell it locally w/ case for $950 or until I get funds from other items... then I'll keep it I don't know if this is possible or not, but what would be cool would be if we had a couple of basic tracks of guitar and drums of familiar songs and then one guy could play the different basses along with them so we could hear how they sit in a mix. The same guy would need to play them. It would work for A/Bing amps or cabs or basses.
Something to think about.
projectapollo said:I will be there too. Sadly, the popular Lakland P bass is gone -- traded up for a Alembic Rogue, which folks will like, too.
Somebody buy my stuff.... it's a fire sale!! Due to GAS lol
