...So what's up, Virginia folks?

Glad you asked...

Looking forward to the Oct. 19th GTG. Susan is coming as well. Not a bass enthusiast, she's more like a den mother. I did promise her dinner at the Black Angus afterwards.

How's everybody else doing?

Same here. Only been playing for several months, but looking forward to meeting some people and learning a few things. If you run into a guy asking a bunch of dumb questions, that'll probably be me.....

Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks???

Hello all.

I'm a Norfolk bassist. Currently in the US Navy.

I was born in Portsmouth, but lived in Rhode Island most of my life. I moved down here about 5 years ago when I was stationed on the USS Grasp. Now I teach Mini/Micromini electronic repair at the schoolhouse.

I wanna join! I live in Chesapeake btw. I was born in VA Beach though.

Navybass, you an airedale or blackshoe? I'm an AT1 over at Oceana.

*Scratch that... USS Grasp... ET?*

EDIT: Any of you who are planning to attend the GTG, have you RSVP'd with me or Dave? We're trying to get an accurate count, and it's difficult without PMs or emails.

If you think your questions are dumb, wait 'til you hear some of our answers!

Wow, read through all 18 pages and finally found one other bassist from Fredericksburg.

Ok, make it three.
Two awesome music stores?? I can only find one GC in town. (I hope you mean Apple and Picker's?)

I'm looking forward to the GTG on the 19th!
I really need to find some time today or tomorrow to purchase one of those tickets to win that bass

Yay for randomly finding threads! lol That's a lot of pages t read through and I only had the will to go through page one. lol Anyways, it looks like everyone who posts here is from Virginia. Well I was raised in Norfolk and I have a new 4 string bass. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to updating and post a picture of it. ^_^ It's so pretty.

Edit: What's this GTG? I see a few posts mentioning it.

Would anybody happen to have a spare shipping box / carton they can bring to the Virginia Beach GTG? I've got a bass going out Monday and, alas, my cardboard stash is depleted.

Much obliged!

Gotcha covered Riis, I'll bring one of my SX boxes.

Man, you're a lifesaver! Thank you.

What's the preliminary headcount, Tim? I've got some freebie accessory-sized totes ('bout the size of a shaving kit) to hand out.

"Ooooo....free stuff! Gimme, gimme, gimme!"

have fun this weekend guys! i won't be able to make it. maybe another time.

 

[neurotictim]

We're looking pretty solid at 20 or so. Give or take the onesies and twosies that either back out last second or decide to go, I have a feeling there will be plenty of bassin' going on.

 

[Zooberwerx]

Here's another incentive, guys: the VB oceanfront has some absolutely killer restaurants within walking distance of the Holiday Inn. I hope some of you are bringing your "significant others" to share the experience.
