Looks like I'm out... and missing a 2nd GTG in a row. I have no way to get down there today, but even if someone was able to give me a lift, I wouldn't be able to go as I messed up my back on Thursday and have an acupuncture session at 3 in Mississauga.
Afterwards, I'll be at my shop near Dixie and 401 if anyone wants to swing by later and trade their fretless Jazz neck for one of my Precision or Jazz Special necks....

Just got home from the GTG. Nice time today meeting this. Group of TBer's. We had that room loaded with more gear than you can imagine! There were 4 Rics alone, multiple fretless (including an electric upright), multiple boutique basses and even some custom builts. DrunkHeffalump brought out a tube head he built and there were a host of different heads from Small to large. Cabs of every shape and size too. More than I can remember actually!
Anyway it was a great time and thanks to all for hauling all that gear out and sharing. It's alot of fun to try other stuff out and it is a great group of bassists.
I think Basically Bob has me talked into trying a fretless out now. Wish I could get one like his custom built but I think that's a bit too rich for me but boy it is one beautiful and great sounding bass.

Somebody (mighta even been FisheadJoe who rode with me to the GTG), though with so many faces and so many conversations I don't recall who said it for sure now, said to search "Chris Squire Roundabout Isolated Bass" on Google. I did and it was awesome. But one thing leads to another and I found a great vid where a guy does the bass line playing along to the song including the guitar bits that are twinned and even the ending where there are 3 bass overdubs. He put a huge amount into this vid and it's worth a watch. Stay tuned to the end. The finish is awesome!

I've just uploaded pictures from today's GTG. It was great meeting everyone, some familiar faces, some new. Some great gear. And I'm glad everyone liked the Roscoe and amp/cabs.
But my standout today is Drunk Heffalump and his homegrown '69 Marshall Super Bass. The word BEAST is the only word to describe it.

The date for today should be under the pictures. There's also the previous ones from earlier this year.

Thanks for arranging this - it was great to meet fellow bass players.
See everybody at the next one.

Highlights for me were Ric >> Marshall Superbass clone >> Bergantino NV610, Genz Streamliner 900 and G-K MB800 >> Bergantino NV610, Mike Arnopol composite Crazy 88 and Thunderchild TC115's, Bob's fretless P-bass clone w/Big Single at the bridge, Deb's Fdeck HPF-3 with my G-K/Audiokinesis rig, and the fellowship with other bassists.
I'm still a dedicated hi-fi cab user, but that 610 is definitely the King of conventional cabs, at least to my ears. Makes me wonder what I'd think of Duke's new Hathor cab, with the dual cone midrange setup.

Special thanks to Bassgen for car pooling and great conversation both to and from the event... what a great guy.
I would also like to thank everyone who attended for their patients while I ran a couple of heads through my NV610... I really wanted to get a picture of what that cab can do, with different amplification... again, many thanks!
Met some really cool people, Drunk Helffalump is not only pretty cool, but very generous as well.
And good to meet new as well as familiar faces...
Talk about the RIC show! There were no less than 5 RICS in attendance and I didn't even bring mine! For anyone who wanted to get there greedies on a RIC, Saturday would have been your day!
The bass that stood out to me, out of all that I got my grubbies on... that Elrick! What a sweet bass!

Waay cool event to say the least.
My standout was that Fireglo 4001, with the Hawkwind and Motorhead spray painted case. Running that thru that Ampeg 8x10, with the '69 Super and playing Masters Of the Universe.

Sucks that I missed out on this one - turns out I had to work that day after all. I'll be keeping an eye on the thread, though, because I'm definitely hoping to catch the next one 
Until next time!
Until next time!
Well there you go!
Who's in for a GTA GTG around mid-March (not during march break)?
I am in the east (Whitby), but Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, etc. works for me.
My Fodera Emperor Standard 5er should be here by then and I can bring my Monique pre.
If we don't have a GTTG, I'd like to come to your house, just to hear the Fodera/Monique pairing...
