Canada Toronto Ont. GTG......

First week of grade 9 at R.Y.C.I. Got out of there quick, transferred to E.C.I.

You'll have to spell those names out. Is ECI Etobicoke Collegiate? I went there in 1983 taking night school for drawing classes.

RY = Royal York
ECI = Etobicoke
MCI = Martin Grove
KCI = Kipling
RCI = Richview
SCI = Silverthorn
BCI = Burnhamthorpe
SHCI = Scarlet Heights (We called it S.H.I.T. - Institute of Technology)
LCI = Lakeshore
ESA = School of the Arts
NACI = North Albion
TCI = Thistletown
WHS = Westway (Waste a day at Waste-away)
KMCI = Keiller-McKay

Those were the public schools when I was around, but the '80's are long over. Might have missed one or two and I know that at least four of them are out of the public system now.

I guess I'll add ACI; Alderwood, which I went to. After I left it became Father John Redmond.

[Nick901]

We're still looking for bassists in the GTA to attend.

 

[Ben Heard]

Aargh.. don't think I could swing the January date, but if we're still on for something in the summer, I can probably swing by!

 

[PikeoftheLake]

I've never been to one of these before but I'd like to come. Are you accepting GTA folks?

Of course....

 

[Spencerthegreat]

How much $$ do you want from each of us for the rental of the space?

How much $$ do you want from each of us for the rental of the space?

It's $20/hr, so for 4 hours it'll be $80. The more people show up the less we need to all put in.

If anyone is bringing equipment to show off, sell or let others try out, it's the best place to do it. You can bring your amps and setup so others can hear your rig, bass(es), etc.

FisheadJoe brought his basses, and I got to try out his Roscoe at our 2 previous GTG. I really liked that bass, and when I found one to buy I picked it up. I never would have even considered a Roscoe had I not played FHJoe's.

Date again please?

Saturday, January 14 from 2pm - 6pm at Cherry Street Studios (33 Viliers Street). It's in downtown TO off of Lakeshore Blvd. (right off the DVP).

Here's the list so far:

5) Spencerthegreat
6) bowerne
7) LiamCohl

Room for several more.

 

[the_hook]

Actually the time slot is 12 to 4pm. Everything else is correct.

Ah, yes. I copied from your earlier post. Sorry about that.

 

[davidAaronCarte]

Plus we can all complain about not getting Yu Darvish
C'mon folks, lets get a good bass hang

 

[Nick901]

Our GTG is only 2 weeks away. Who else would like to join us?

 

[Jeff Moote]

Is it worth discussing what everyone plans to bring for gear? At least in terms of amps/cabs it's probably not necessary to have much duplication, right?

That's true. I have all sorts of gear I can bring and can't bring it all. Perhaps we should start a list?

 

[Jeff Moote]

I can/will bring:

Roscoe SKB 3005
Rob Allen MB-2 fretless 4

tc electronic RH750
Bergantino HT112 + EX112

and possibly my pedalboard if I can get it organized by then, although I feel like that might be an (unnecessary) distraction.

I am not planning on bringing any of my DB stuff unless there is something someone specifically wants to check out.

 

[deb]

I'll probably bring:

Birdsong shortscale bass
GrantBass shortscale bass

fEARful Nidacore 15/6/1 bass cabinet
Crown XLS1500/Presonus Eureka Channel Strip pre-amp/poweramp
Carvin BX1500
