A "Super" event?
That, and how much beer I consume may be the reason I don't make it! I really do want to check out that fearful cab though, so maybe I'll behave

It is that model (in the deep burgundy finish). I think I'd rather have a shortscale hollowbody.
Depending on what type of switcher you're discussing, I've built several passive switching devices for myself and friends. I could put something together for you before the GTG. PM me if you're interested.
I'd be interested in that too!
It sold in about 10 minutes in the TB Classifieds, but I have another switcher that I'll bring along.
If anyone has different types/gauges of flats on a bass, I'd like to try them out at the GTG and see how they feel. I have Chromes (50-70-85-105) on my P bass and I'm thinking about trying some flats on my Jaguar. I tried some Fender flats (45-60-80-95) on the P bass a long time ago, but they were too floppy for my taste. I think I may have overcompensated by getting the heavy medium Chromes as the tension is pretty stiff, but I do like how they sound.
I'll bring the P-Bass and Artcore. I pretty much swear by GHS Precision Flats at this point. Lakland Joe Osborn's were my main string, but GHS makes them - they're basically the same string but the GHS can be gotten for about half the cost.

I have flats on all of my basses. My SUB 4 has LaBella Extra Light .039 .056 .077 .096 on it the rest have a mix of Chromes, Labella & Roto
I also primarily use flats - usually .045 - .105 Sadowsky Flats, so I'll be having those represented there, and I have my BEAD "Chevy' Bass with well-broken-in Sadowsky flats ( .065-.085-.105-.130 the lowest 4 strings of a 5 string set) that I'll be bringing for sure!

Bass lines like a big, funky giant
I'll be bringing my P bass with Thomastik Infeld Jazz Flats. However, if Fender flats were too floppy for your taste, you will probably think the same about the TI's.
My P bass with the GHS 3060 tapewounds will be in attendance, as will my Guild Starfire with GHS precision flats.
Sweet. That's quite a variety. I'm looking forward to it. I'm interested to try out Exalt's BEAD bass. I've often thought of doing the same thing, but have never tried one out.
I can bring a bead tune with tapes if this helps
Anyone have a miniseminar they can do? (10 mins) --- we discussed this in the past - never fully started

One thing that might be nice for someone to do is to bring a 2 channel power amp, a 410 and a 15 so people can see how ineffective the pairing is. I have a pair of SVT410he and an SVT15 and have done this myself. Once you experience it, you wonder why anyone would ever bother with this combination.
I could bring them, but it's a lot to drag out and there is a chance I won't be able to make it to this one.
A TB Mythbusters session!

That's a great idea. I don't own a 115 or a 410 so I can't help, but I'd sure like to see this demonstrated.
As long as I'm typing - will you permit me a quick hijack/vent?
I just accepted an offer for a position in a working cover band, mostly old classics; Mustang Sally, Margaritaville, Chuck Berry, Stones, Blues Brothers, that kinda stuff. Now today I find out they also hired a female singer who will be coming to practice tonight and they're adding a couple tunes for her: two Gaga tunes (never even heard 'em before) and two No Doubt tunes.
I guess this is my welcome to the world of cheesy cover bands - eh?
I did print out some basic walking bass lines I found in a text book. I think this was two GTG's ago. I'll try to find them and bring them to the GTG.
