Oh and thanks Richard, I now have gas pains for a wireless and that punchy little direct box you let me play with!

At least those items are affordable when you consider all the other lovely amps and basses that were present! Very impressive gear, all stuff that you don't go to a club and get to see. Or walk in Guitar Center and see for almost everything there.

Aw, Jeff, you've been gas free long enough with your stable! I like the little WTDI more each time I use it! The Line 6 G30 is the latest addition to the fold and I highly recommend it to anyone considering wireless. Thanks to everyone who attended for your friendship and sharing your gear. Also want to thank you for welcoming my drummer, Shane, and making him feel at home. Oh, and Neal, bring the title to that Benavente Fretless Saturday night! I may just take it back to Motown! Loved it! And PM me with your email address and I'll send you our set list so you can pick a few tunes to sit in on!

Since we are now over 1000 posts in this original ETTB thread, I'm closing it per Talkbass policy and starting Part 2.

Part 2 can be found here. Be sure to terminate your subscription to this thread and add the new thread subscription.

I sure have enjoyed this thread, you guys made it a great time all around. Let's keep it rolling in part 2!

Many thanks to Jeff and River Oaks Church for hosting the second ETTB GTG for 2012. There were six of us there, along with Richard's drummer who also plays a little bass on the side. For those who came out, it was a pleasure to meet and talk with you. The rest of you missed a very fun afternoon.

I did take pictures, but will not be able to post them here until Friday. I'm taking my own little mini-vacation this week! Everyone, have a good week, and I'll get those pictures up as soon as I get back.

You guys were right, the gtg turned out to be the best part of my vacation! Biltmore was OK, but I didn't walk away from it pumped up like I did after the gtg. That's just fun stuff. Thanks to Jeff for hosting, and it was great meeting all of you guys.

Hope someone else can host one before spring so that we're not so long before the next one.

It's not that I'm opposed to doing another this year, it's just folks have a lot going on after summer. There's football games, school, indoor air hockey, and oh yeah, I think there is an election this year (THATS my favorite sports!).

What would be really fun is if one of us has a gig locally that is sort of low key and we could rotate bass players in and out of the sets. The only thing I've got booked the rest of the year would probably frown on such activity, but there are a couple of places I have in mind that it would be appropriate. That is if I can get us booked there.

Suggestions? Comments?

Guys, Projectapollo (Bill) PM'ed me to let me know the link to this new thread in my last post in the old thread is wrong.

I've PM'ed J-Raj (the moderator) to ask him to fix the link. It looks like you all found it okay anyway! Be sure and subscribe to the thread if you haven't, already.

I have the GTG pictures off the camera, and will be posting a link to them today.

Okay, here are the keeper pictures I took at ETTB GTG 2. I'm going to do several posts so there aren't so many pictures in each one. If you all want me to rearrange or resize these, let me know and I'll fix.

Also, if I get anyone's name wrong, please forgive me and let me know, I will fix. I'm not the best with names! I will try to use everyone's TB username in the captions.

Nobody else took pictures, that I know of, so I'm not in any of these (no big loss!) because I'm behind the camera.

I'll leave these pictures on my website for at least the rest of this year, or until we have another GTG. Eventually, they will become dead links, but not anytime soon.

iamoldschool's basses on stage (L) and my amps on stage (R) and basses on floor:

PDGood with his Ibanez (nice!) then some of Rollerberg2000's basses on floor. PD's LMIII and Thunderchild 115AF behind him, and RB2000's Phil Jones amp of doom at rear of stage. iamoldschool brought his Line 6 wireless, which was plugged into the Phil Jones so everyone could play through the PJ from down on the floor.

PDGood with funk generator's Nordie J, Ethan with Rollerberg's primo Dingwall. I didn't know until the GTG that Jeff had traded his infamous purple Ritter bass specifically for this very-high-end Dingwall. Basses of the stratosphere!

funk generator with my Synapse 5, iamoldschool with Ethan playing the primo Dingwall, and Rollerberg in the back with the Nordie J. Gotta love Richard's shirt- classic bass guitars from the 60's!

Ethan with my Douglas fretless violin bass, funk generator with Rollerberg's Pelosi.

PDGood with my Epiphone Zenith fretted, which sounded great through his Thunderchild! It's a shame that the Zeniths are no longer in production, as of late spring this year.

iamoldschool playing the Nordie J (It was popular) through Ethan's Alembic F1-X/Crown Macrotech rack and GK 2x12 cabinet.

Here's Ethan playing probably his favorite bass of the day, Rollerberg's "cheap" Dingwall :). iamoldschool's drummer, Shane (doublebassman) to the left, PDGood, iamoldschool playing the Nordie that was hard to put down, and Rollerberg. funk is off the screen to the left, with my G&L L-2500 that was a four string at the GTG (oops!)
