I haven't in TO for a while, but I wonder if we could do it at clubbass?
I went at the old place, I don't know if the new place would be big enough and if Dave would be interested. Just an Idea

I'm sure either Jeff or I could pitch the idea to him. I'll be picking up a bass soon.

It is a small place though. So I don't know how many people would be able to fit.

I just noticed this thread. I'm in T.O aswell.
(v.near the cadillac lounge/mitzys mentioned earier)
maybe we could track down a drummer who is prepared to accomodate 15 bass players playing at the same time.

*HEY! I just googled that clubbass place. what??? that place is just down the road from me! I've never heard of it!
uh oh. I feel a purchase coming on.
man, look at those basses. I gotta check that place out.

You would never know it was there, just by the look from the street. When you say you're down the street though, this isn't to say that you're in the Queen St. Mental Health Centre, is it? :ninja:

Ok, so this idea never really came together. If any of you still want to meet up, Club Bass is having a Christmas bash, or in other words, a busy day at the shop :smug::

I'll be there most of the day likely, so drop by if you'd like. Dave has lots of great gear to move too.. ;)

Hey Jeff:

I'll be there at Club Bass too. In fact, I'm trying to get Dave to come out to a gig we've got on the 15th, the night before at Rancho Relaxo on College St. If he shows I'll try and make sure that he's not too hung over for Saturday!

Shoot me a PM with what time you think you'll be there and I'll bring along the ACG and the Nordstrand. If you include your e-mail I'll add you to our gig list!

Dave

That sounds cool. Its been a while since I visited Club Bass, which might be a good thing since Dave always has something I need(although I only find that out when I get there;) ). Dave is a great guy and definitely knows his stuff. I want to check out those Bergantino IP's!

See you there Jeff. I'll be taking the AC Guitars ReCurve into Club Bass to show Dave so that he can hear the pre-amp. And I'll have the Nordstrand in the trunk just in case you want to see it! *smirk*

Glad to hear it. I got the email about your gig, though I don't think I'll be able to make it. I think the ReCurve will attract a fair bit of attention :)

I look forward to meeting you (and your basses :p) on Saturday.

Well, I guess lots of people missed this thread or were busy on Saturday. The Club Bass gathering was lots of fun - and you all missed some great food and basses :D

It was nice meeting Dave (basse), and his AC Guitars Recurve is really a beautiful instrument. Thanks for bringing it, and comeing to hang out!

There was a wide variety of all organic sandwiches and other goodies, as well as a nice selection of wine, ale, and a wonderful winter punch that Dave (F) prepared. There was no shortage of hospitality all day, as we sat around and enjoyed the food and refreshments.

Of course, the most important reason for me to be there was to pick up my Roscoe. See the link in my sig for more info. Dave really did a great job cleaning it up for me, and with new strings it's set up perfectly.

Other notable pieces of gear: The PJB Bass Buddy - what a cool unit! Classy design, great features and of course it sounds great. It's even got a swanky case to go with it. I tried it going into the Berg IP112 and it was nothing short of fantastic. This was also my first experience with the IP and of course it was awesome. It really does sound different from the passive cabs powered by a head due to the DSP. Very huge, and accurate low end. All in all, I really like the HT/EX stack with my LMII, and it's midrange is a little more accentuated, which I like.

Thanks to Club Bass for a great celebration. There's nothing better than hanging around with a bunch of bassists eating, drinking and trying great gear.
