Bring your interesting stuff. I'll bring my camera, too.

 

[jasonbraatz]

I've seen you play Jason, and I'd say just your own bad self is cool enough.

I mean, I have a station wagon, so I *could* bring my DB680/DB728 rig if anyone wants to give it a go. I won't bring any cabs as Dave's has Aggie cabs.

I can probably squeeze two basses into my car along with that thing, so should I bring the SX 4 with Nordstrands + badass, the stock SX5, or my incoming Ibanez GWB35?

 

[8guy]

The SX 4 with Nordstrands!!!!!.....my vote

 

[IotaNet]

That's a good question -- what DO you guys want to see?

* Barker Fretless?
* Sadowsky RV4?
* Lakland 55-63?
* Lakland JO5 P/J Custom? (Yep, you read that right! )

I'd like to bring only two ... let me know what you guys would like to see/play.

I vote for the Sadowsky and the 55-63

I'll play along, too. Here's what I got and prolly only bring two:

*79 Musicman Sabre maple/maple
*97 Musicman Stingray maple/rw
*00 Lakland Skyline Glaub maple/rw
*96 Fender US Jazz 5'er maple/rw

 

[Interceptor]

Dang it.

I'm in the same boat as morebass.

I'd of brought a Low End True Voice and a really good video camera.

Next time.

 

[Matt Call]

I guess I'll just bring my Sadowsky MV-5 and, if I'm finished with it, an Ibanez project I've been working on.

If anyone is interested, I can bring an Aggie AG500SC (Dave's has a dual-channel in stock though...). I should also have a cab next week too. Either a GS112 or DB210.

*shrug* I might also be able to bring a pretty decent video camera.

Bring the Barker and I'll bring my Clevinger- we can have a weird ass upright showdown(or is that hoedown?)
Also,I don't know from Sadowski- I'd love to compare one to a Lakland.

I'm officially in! Looking forward to it after finally recovering from a nasty cold, then the check engine light came on in the car but that was an easy fix today. I think I'll take off after the GTG but thanks anyway for the hotel info. I'll be there with the Bongo 5H '06 LE and Signature j-bass (as seen on ebay) with Audere pre amp.

SX4 with Norstrands? Very cool!

 

[ogrossman]

I'm thinking about taking the train from the Twin Cities to La Crosse; anybody else interested? It leaves St. Paul @ 7:50 AM and arrives in La Crosse at 10:47 AM. You can catch a return train that evening at 7:14 PM or take the 7:14 PM train back on the 14th. It looks like Dave's is about 1.5 miles from the train station so I'm hoping there's a bus or something. The round trip fare is $58. I'm actually planning to continue on to Chicago the next day...

BTW, I'd appreciate any tips for decent, cheep lodging in La Crosse.

Thanks,
Owen

Check page 6 (this is 7) for two options. I don't know LaCrosse but had thought about spending the night myself. One is right near Dave's.

 

[peabody]

I assume this is still on for the 13th. I feel really bad because I'm like one of the few guys who actually lives in La Crosse, and it looks like I'm probably going to miss it. I'm afraid my wife has been pretty sick for the last couple of months, and my Saturdays are definitely my "family time."

Make sure everyone brings a towel, because once you catch a glimpse of Dave Roger's personal guitar collection, you will definitely be drooling.

If you guys need anything, let me know. I can drop off some of my stuff if anyone wants to try anything out....
Lakland Dude Pit Limited Edition II (Bob Glaub with a DarkStar P/U)
Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn
Lakland Skyline JO with a P/J configuration (currently for sale, so it may or may not be around)
Mesa Big Block 750
Mesa Walkabout
Aggie cabs...GS212 or GS112 (Dave only has a GS410 on the floor right now)

If anyone has any specific questions about lodging, locations, etc...just let me know. I'll help out wherever I can.

Just let me know. Remember...have fun!

Dave

 

[RobinBetton]

hey everybody,

Looks like this get together thing is pretty cool. As a La Crosse Native this idea sounds awesome. I just wish i wasn't at school! All the guys at Dave's are awesome. Over the years i've gotten to know the guys that work there. They're all good people. I've been glad to make a good friend in Tim Mullally the "bass guy" at dave's. Along with my teacher Richard Davis, Tim has tought me some of the most important musical lessons that I carry with me today.
I hope the get together goes well! Please post your comments on the results. i hope they're will be video!

 

[mrpackerguy]

I've communicated now both with Tim and Laun at Dave's Guitar in LaCrosse and we're set. There are two remaining things:

1) Do we need a small PA? Dave's offered to set one up.

2) Who can bring some munchies? Chips, cheese, sausage, crackers - we have the OK to order in some subs or pizza.

 

[mrpackerguy]

I'm bringing my near-mint Candy Apple Red (a discontinued color) Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub to the GTG at Dave's and it's for trade or sale.

I'm really wanting a sunburst semi-hollow ASAT with a Rosewood board or possibly some other semi-hollow ASAT or maybe even a nice L2000 with a rw board. Could also be tempted by a non-black Bongo 4. If anyone has one they were thinking of getting rid of, bring it to the GTG. Otherwise we can talk price offline or at Dave's if anyone would be interested. Comes with a semi-hard gator case.

 

[bill h]

Sorry to say, but I will not be able to make it. I have had some things come up.

 

[basey]

This is great. I love Dave's, although my wife gets nervous when I go there.
I'm going to bring my two homemade basses and a camera.
Would anyone be interested in me bringing my pod pro/mesa 400+ rack?
lemme know.

I'll bring a dozen assorted beverages.

I can bring some Propel (a 24-pack if I remember right). We're stocked up at my place.

*shrug* it's all I've got at the moment.

 

[superbassman2000]

hey everyone, i won't be able to make it, i couldn't get off for work, and i have a gig that night!

I really wish i could be there--it sounds like its going to be a fun time
