One more amp repair tech is Casey Goobey. Great guy. He mostly sticks to tubed stuff, but if he's not busy, he'll take on a SS job too. He does the amp repairs for a lot of local places (TwinTown, Encore, Foxtone, a couple of MGRs, etc)

Where is FoxTone? The pictures look like Warehouse District...

KO

Nevermind, found it. http://www.foxtonemusic.com/information.php?pID=32. And it's just off one of my routes home.

 

[MNAirHead]

A friend tells me it's a few blocks east of the Washington ave strip clubs

 

[kraigo]

Big bills = going to the guitar shop. Small bills...

Here's another reminder...

Greg (hdracer) and his son, Matt, are hosting another awesome GTG!

We had a blast at the last one! AND, what could be a better cure for cabin fever?

Sunday, 2-26-2012, 'The Just-Before-Leap-Year GTG' 2-5 PM


It's looking like we'll have a nice turnout!

I'LL BE SENDING OUT THE ADDRESS BY PM ON THURSDAY to those who have checked in.

If you are planning on attending, please check in by PM to me.

Dave

Bumparoni

 

[kraigo]

I'm checking in. PM me or condemn me to a party my wife is hosting.

KO

Added: for those like me who are directions challenged, PM Dave, don't just reply like I just did.

 

[ExaltBass]

I've just sent the address info to all of you on my list. If I missed you, or if you are a procrastinator, send me a PM and I'll get the info to you.

BTW, I will be playing at church on that Sunday and I will NOT be checking email before I come, so if you really really are a procrastinator it's time!

 

[rickl289]

I'm looking forward to the GTG this weekend. Thanks ExaltBass for pulling this together.

If anyone has a small cab, please bring it. My teacher has a Invalid Link Removed but I haven't seen or heard it.

Thanks.

 

[hdracer]

I will be at the shop early (10:00 am or so), so it you can't get to Dave PM me.

Rick, Matt will have his TB110 to try

 

[rickl289]

Thanks Greg. I'll bring my Freeman with used flats. Your son didn't like flats on his but maybe it just needs some gig time to break them in.

 

[ExaltBass]

I'm bringing my Gries 1x15 Neo cab - it's a really nice 30 lb. small cab. Also, the Genz Shuttle 6.0, Warrior, Martin/Sigma AEB, BEAD FrankenFender (Chevy Bass) and probably the Joiner P-J.

 

[MNAirHead]

Does anyone want 34" flats... or tapes...

I'm going to poswer list a few sets - pm me as I'd rather not ship.

poswer???

 

[kraigo]

I've got a VT Bass pedal (v2 with the speaker sim button, not the Deluxe) that I'll bring along. I'd be interested if anyone brought along any of the other SansAmp "Character" pedals so we can play with them.

I'm bringing my 1x10 with an Eminence BP102 speaker, my little 1973 Traynor combo with an S2010 speaker in it, my Artcore with an SGD Lutherie ND3 pickup (on a coil switch) and my Skyline 55-01 with Nordstrand DC's (passive with both pickups on coil switches). Oh, and probably my fretless because its case has a lot of other useful bass junk.

Post your wish list, people. Remind us what you'd like to play with.

Is Timmy coming to this one? I've been listening to Entwistle a lot this week and may be succumbing to a certain bass he might still be able to sell me. See if you can guess the brand!

KO

 

[hdracer]

I will have my Aguilar Tone Hammer.

Do you think you could do a WinISD 101 class? I keep trying but can not figure out that program

 

[kraigo]

I wouldn't mind doing that. I'll see if I can borrow a laptop from work to bring along.

KO

 

[BobaFret]

I'd like to check out something along the lines of a Bergantino HD212. Something in the 2x12 ballpark. Maybe Genz Benz or GK. Really looking to try different cabs. Mine just aren't cutting the mustard.
