Some of the gang did have an opportunity to rest their posteriors on a stool painted by my daughter with a musical theme (notes, instruments, etc.). Peace. --s-uu spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

Wally Malone Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Originally posted by Dr. Sweet Willie: 57pbass really brought some great instruments. I loved playing the Kubicki. Reminded me immediately of Wally's Kubicki that I got to play a couple of summers ago. Also, that J bass he brought did indeed almost play itself. Peace. --SW Willie, the Kubicki although out of the rotation for a while is now back in. It feels so good playing it again I wonder why I stopped playing it for a while. Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Sweet Willie_ Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Originally posted by Dr. Sweet Willie: Well, "First Annual" might be a stretch -- maybe "Pilot Test" or "Test Drive" might be a better term. Believe it or not, planning for the Second Annual is underway. Hopefully the weather will be better and we can pass some of the time outside on the back deck. I wonder if I can land a sponsor this year -- either from the music world or the world of cylindrical meats. Time to make some calls... Peace. --Dub $$ spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

way2fat Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I like the idea for the travelling event. I have 25 acres right in the middle of the country. 2 hrs. to St. Louis 3 hrs. to Memphis and Nashville. Get as loud as you can stand, and don't worry, the neighbors will want to join in.

getz out Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 In all seriousness... to better plan, should we think of some arrangements of the musical sort? I could be convinced to record such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yes, some arrangements could/should happen. Recording would be cool. Also, I hope to spread the bass goodness throughout the house a bit more -- perhaps a set of amps and basses on each floor. All the easier to hear them with, my dear. Tom, root beer ... <sigh> Likely date will again be...July. Peace. --s-uu spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 Well, there will be at least one new piece of gear in attendance courtesy of my daughter -- a 15W Vox Valvetronix modeling g****r amp. It'll be fun for those of us who on occasion partake in the yip-yippin' of tiny strings rather than the thump-thumpin' of fat strings. This may also come in handy if we do endeavor to record some stuff using instruments other than bass. I'm no dummy -- no 100W g****r stacks in my home! (Not yet, anyway.)

wraub Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Will: If invited, I shall attend. If I attend, I shall take pics. If I take pics, I promise once again to not post the really obscene ones. I would of course also bring the Jazz bass, and again bring whatever sundry party supplies you'd need. If Jason comes, I may also bring the fretted Roadstar. If invited.

Tom Capasso Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I will certainly risk attending and upgrading my activities to spilling red wine on light-colored carpet (something I did 25 years ago at my in-law's house). Sponsorship? I'm picturing your local purveyor of non-veg putting up a poster of us with their meat products in one hand and bass in another - smiling because he donated the food and can barely handle the increase in traffic in the store. I'll do my best to attend (schedule depending). I will also drive as needed, and subject Wraub to late 70s music from my old band (since he survived the Stonefly CD last time). Thanks Willie!

The Fonz Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 i can see it now: "the second annual s-dub bass, beer and brats fest sponsored by joe's butcher shop. buy your meat at joe's and get a fat, round bottom." with 6 or 7 months to plan this one shoud be pretty nuts, no? i'll have to think of something else food-related to make barely-palatably hot this time...

Stackimo Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Did you guys go "Jaco" style and abstain from washing your hands. Nice Brat greasy, buttery fingers on those strings would make for a slick delight. Oh, and seeing how each of those basses are more expensive than both mine put together, please let me know when your next get together is. I'll purchase a gun and a Ronald Reagan mask by then, and rob you all. "Some people are like "slinkies".

Fred TBP Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Originally posted by Gospel7theZealot: i'm leaning towards accepting a job offer in virginia...it would put me down there temporarily. VA to NYC's about 4-6 hrs. based on what part of the state you're in. Easy enough to do on a weekend, I'm sure you can sleep over, plus you can visit the music stores along the way in DE, NJ and MD. I've done the trip a hundred times and can plan the scenic route (along with rest spots and where to get good coffee at 3am) for ya. Since you'll be spending more road time in VA it might be good to toughen your long-distance driving skills with us. This time I'll keep my calendar straight so I won't miss out (or confuse it with wraub's bash ) and probably bring an AEB and a fretless along with a g****r and ampette.
