I want to thank everyone for coming to the GTG.
It was fun.
I have some sad news to share.
A fellow Mn bassist and TB member Matt Call was struck by a car on June 27 in Uptown. There is a benefit for him tonight at the Urban Bean.

Normally I'm not an advocate of vigilantism, but I'm willing to make an exception in this case. An open mind is a sign of intelligence after all. That sucks.

Yeah this was big news in Uptown especially. I live a block from where this happened. I do wish him the very best and will hopefully be able to make it to the Urban Bean this evening.
Oh my god.... I don't know Matt on a personal level, but did some trading of speaker cabs a while back. He is a super nice guy, and a great bassist.
Was there still something for donating? I might have looked right at it, but I didn't see anything pertaining to donations on that site, just ticket sales to their benefit event.

I had a great time (although it went by way too fast) at the GTG. Can't wait for the January 'Cabin Fever' GTG! I forgot my camera... did anyone take any pics? Please post them if you've got them.
Hip Hip Hooray for Greg & Matt! Awesome hosts!
It was cool to see the last minute sell chain... Kenner's Spector to Greg, and then Klay's (orrguy) Orr Bass to Kenner ... if ever there was a perfect match! Two very happy campers!
Everybody's happy... but Klay is now bass-less... although he has unlimited borrowing rights to my stable.
As I posted at the GTG - my EDEN RIG - all in perfect condition! (Eden WT880C-D210XLT & D210 XST-Fender rack tuner, Monster Power 2500 Pro strip, 4 sp SKB Rack - plus cables) is up for grabs... all or in parts - for trades I'd only consider a Neo cab... G-K, Genz-Benz, etc. as a partial. I'm looking at downsizing! If anyone is looking for a TOTAL kick-butt modular rig... this is it!

Anybody else see Rick play today at the guitar toss at my music store? Great tunes! It was fun. it was a little too windy to make any of the guitars into the dumpster.

Come on out if you can!

Hey folks -
A few pages back I missed out on an old Ampeg B25 head. Well, I found another one recently and snagged it up.
At first I thought it had lots of bad problems, but it turns out it's generally alright, it just needs a trip to a good shop for a check up, reversing of some P.O. mods, replacing of caps and tubes as necessary and a discussion about other things it might need.
I'm already madly in love with the tone and it just looks so cool sitting on top of the B25B cab that it was made for.
Here's pics:

And here's the thread I started about it:
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/ampeg-b25-deal-advice-needed-905043/
My purpose for posting about it here:
Can y'all recommend the best tech and/or shop in the cities for such a job?

Oh and if y'all need some good time family entertainment this Saturday, my band (The Bingos) is playing the Carver County Fair in Waconia from 4:00-8:00 and Boogie Wonderland is following us (I've always wanted to see them).
There's gonna be grizzly bears....

I'll be playing at the Driftwood Friday around 9:30 for those looking for something to do on a Friday night. Hopefully no guitars will be tossed.

They are not the cheapest, but do you want your vintage tube amp repaired by the cheapest?
They are the best. IMHO, of course.
