Canada Toronto Ont. GTG......

[sloppy_phil]

damn, 12-4 is gonna be tough for me to make.... It may be possible, and if it is, I'll have my Ric 4003 that's having the truss rods repaired tomorrow along with me (well, hopefully!).

Out of curiosity, what room is it at Cherry Beach? I know there's a bunch

Sorry but I have to cancel. Apparently a child's birthday party has trumped my afternoon out. Oh the things we do...

 

[Spencerthegreat]

Hey guys. I hate to bail so last minute. My wife apparently made plans with my inlaws. On the plus side I get to spend all day saturday slowly smoking a gigantic piece of meat. On the down side. There will be no bass. Unless I smoke some Sea Bass. Eh Eh? No? Sorry

 

[steve_rolfeca]

I'll be able to make it, would love to get a chance to play through one of the new 360's, going to bring a 64 p, a 69 star fire II, got an acoustic image amp, bergantino ae410 and mark bass compressore I can bring too.

Yesssss!

I'll be bringing my Genz-Benz Streamliner 900 and Audio Kinesis Thunderchild AF, and I would kill to hear an Acoustic Image through the TC.

I'll also be bringing the 5-string from my avatar (EMG 40P5's at the neck and bridge, 18V, no tone controls), my Squier VM Jazz fretless w/DiMarzio Area J's (just strung with fresh Chromes), and an Empress ParaEQ.

Someone who can actually play fretless will have to have a go with the Squier, as my intonation sucks!

If I get to feeling really energetic, I might bring a Flite 110MH cab as well...

 

[Jeff Moote]

Sounds like lots of cool gear will be on hand!

 

[LiamCohl]

Amazing! I have wanted to give one of the VM fretless' a try for a while now, only got to play fretted ones so far, we'll have to plug it in with the AI and thunder child for sure. if there are any other upright players coming as well that want to see it, I have a Chadwick bass at my rehearsal space I can grab on the way down.

I'm aiming to be there before 12 and setup my gear. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and saying Hi to some friends I've made from the previous GTG we did.

I'll be taking videos and pictures and I will post the pictures up this week on this thread.

Here's the Cherry Beach Sound site:

Got some stuff going on early today but I expect to be there around 1

 

[Josh Pelican]

I wish I could come over for this. I've been to Toronto twice and only know five people, none of which play bass.

I hope to move to Toronto someday! I'll be at every GTG then!

 

[the_hook]

Thanks to everyone that turned out today. Really great group of guys with lots of excellent gear. I'll work on organizing another one, maybe in early spring.

I've uploaded pictures here:

So jealous I could not make it today. Please definitely keep me in the loop for the next one!

 

[davidAaronCarte]

Great hang, boys

 

[bowerne]

Had a great time today!
Looking forward to the next one.

 

[Jeff Moote]

Thanks to everyone who came today. It was great meeting all of you and checking out some cool gear.

I posted some comments and photos over in the Roscoe action shots thread, since there was such a high concentration of Roscoes today and they're obviously a favourite of mine. Nothing new to see for those who were present today, but here's the link: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f153/...shots-thread-645171/index17.html#post12037796

I'm normally not much on 4-bangers, but a certain Tobaccoburst Roscoe certainly caught my attention this afternoon. It seemed to be the one bass that consistently displayed a unique and beautiful voice no matter who was playing it, or what it was plugged into. Joe is a lucky guy...

 

[Nick901]

It was great finally meeting you guys. Some really nice equipment. I now have a Roscoe on my wish list for this year.
That LG almost plays itself!

 

[Jeff Moote]

Joe's basses were definitely setup really well. Just think how much you guys would have liked that LG with newer strings

 

[LiamCohl]

I definitely really liked the way both of the basses Joe brought sounded. All the Roscoes had me impressed for sure. Your Rob Allen was really fun to play too, love the tape wounds. Hearing all your rigs definitely makes me want to make a change from the ae410... that acoustic 360 sure was something else too, would love to have one of those to crank up at big outdoor shows. As far as the opposite type show goes, my band, The Treasures, plays in the drake hotel bar every tuesday at 10 for the rest of the month. It was good to meet you all, hopefully we can have another one some time soon.
