Salt Lake City, UT by way of Pierre, SD

I noticed a lot more MN people on TB than I thought there was. I'm from SD originally, and there's almost none from there or ND. By midwest I don't mean Ohio or Indiana really. That's more "east" to me.

So, MN, WI, SD, ND, NE, IA, etc.

I'm sure we could get something together in the Minneapolis/St. Paul (Twin cities) area for a space. I might ask at a few music places, too. I'm sure they'd be interested in doing something. It seems there isn't a GREAT demand for bass gear here, so it'd be a good business opportunity.

Who's interested?

Yeah, it would be fun to do that. Maybe we could get someone to do some kind of "workshop" or "clinic" too. I think it'd be fun to see everyone's gear. I've never played a Cirrus or Sadowsky or other high end stuff. If I can get some positive or for sure replies, we could figure out a location.

I was thinking Minneapolis/St. Paul for now since we could get a big building here and there's a few in the Metro area on TB.

Count me in!

Possible place would include:

American Guitar Boutique (In St. Paul, MN)
They have pretty decent gear and a beautiful shop and I know they've done clinics here before.

Brickhouse Music (In River Falls, WI -- about 20 minutes from St. Paul)
They are a nice shop with a HUGE Fender Inventory. More importantly, they are ultra-nice folks and the bass guy, Clark, really knows his stuff. The place also has plenty of room! This would be my first choice.

Keep me in the loop on the planning!

Count me in on it. I get to the cities for a jam quite often.
edit: I haven't been to the River Falls store, but would like to see thier inventory, and get a chance to try out some new stuff. Sounds like thst would be the place for the room to crank it up a bit.
Can you guys PM me, and let me know where and when?? Defineately like to get in on the fun.

Dave's Guitar in LaCrosse would definitly have enough space. I go there fairly often (whenever I'm in LaCrosse) and they do have a huge store. I also know for a fact that they have a room for rehersals and also have a collection of rare gui**** and amps upstairs, including a vintage blue sparkle tuck&roll cab and head set. Very Cool. I am in if it's close enough.
