East Tennessee Talkbass

A spring GTG is a must. Short of death, I will make this one as missing the last one crushed me.

I've heard several mentions and requests for a GTG. Jeff, do you want to do a third GTG at River Oaks? If so, what time frame would work for you and the church?

It'd be good too if someone could step up with another GTG venue maybe more in Knoxville where it'd be more central. I don't know of one myself, but if someone else does, let's hear an idea.
 
Please push it out until maybe the end of March. I will have my rigs finalized by then and some interesting stuff for people to try.

I would like for this to be complete as well because it has a really cool personal back story.

Well went out to meet code911 last night. Very nice fellow and I enjoyed listening to him play and talking to him. He was trying out his new MarkBass combo amp.


Right now I am using a TH500 and two SVT210AV's and a Warwick Streamer Standard. And I am going to buy this bass here.

WOW!!! Congrats bro........ that has got to be (IMO) the best looking EBMM I have ever seen!!! Simply beautiful!!!
Sounds like you have a great setup; I play a lot of Warwicks too; I bet your Streamer Standard is awesome too!!
 
We need to get some dates going around. The two previous GTG's have been on Sunday afternoons. That normally will keep gig schedules from being a barrier to attending. So I'll throw out Sunday, March 31, 1-5 pm as a tentative date. I will have to confirm the date with the church office once we are agreed. Some of you met my drummer, Shane, at the last GTG. I mentioned it to him this morning and he is excited about it and willing to help host. Wouldn't be surprised if the remainder of my guys show up as well. I also have a little secret surprise that may be in the offing that I'll keep to myself for now. The floor is open for discussion...

Forgive me guys, I've been in Mexico and haven't checked in here for a while.

Looks like iamoldschool is stepping up to bat with a GTG in Mo'town in March! River Oaks is always open to hosting another, but no need to have a spring one here if we have one hosted up the road. Looking forward to another, wherever it may be!
 
Hey guys,

My band is looking to do a gig in Chattanooga on Saturday, March 23rd. Does anyone here have any venue hookups/venue suggestions or networking connections with bands they could provide me? We've done JJ's Bohemia before, but they're unfortunately booked for that date. The rest of the venues I'm finding seem too large for a band our size or are catered to a much different crowd than what we go for.
