Hey, if the Belgians, Scotts, Salt Lake Citians, and Dallas folks can do it, why can't we?
 
Bill, how 'bout it?
Bob? Val? Doc?
 
I don't think the mothership could fit us all, but maybe Guitar Showcase? My band has a rehearsal studio, but it's tight with just the 4 of us.
 
Let's get some ideas together and get this started!!
 
Ken (TEO)

We could probably host about 12 comfortably in the showroom.

OK that's not fair, we in the Dallas group feel that we set the bar high with 15 Alembic's brought from home, so if you west coaster have a gathering, you can't count the Alembic's in the showroom
don't make us (the Dallas group)come out there!!!!
 
 
wait a second........... that sounds fun
 
David T

Hey, Dave, We'd love to have you join us...except so far it appears it's just you, me and Mica! That would about tie the Dallas get together INCLUDING the showroom basses!
 
Rory?
Bill?
Anybody?
 
Bueller?

I'm game...there's a lot of guys in the bay with Alembics, aside from the above mentioned usual suspects....Paul's in Sacramento, that's not far...Eric in the south Bay, Rod in SF, Yah Yah,...and lots more I forget at the moment.
 
 
Valentino

Hey, Val...I figured you know of A LOT of them...
OK, David, If Val makes it with his, we won't count the showroom basses!
 
I may regret this, but why not have interested parties e-mail me (see my profile) with a GENERAL availability, and maybe we can figure out how many to plan for, and with that number, where to have it. We'll give it a week for people to find this posting and figure out their schedules.
 
Oh God!! Did I just volunteer myself to organize something?? Now we're in trouble!!:-)
 
Ken

I'm in.  Do instruments with Alembic guts count?
 
Bill, tgo

I'm coming over in a couple of years if you can wait that long ;-)
 
graeme

Hi Ken--
 
I'm definitely interested in getting together.  Email to follow, per your request.
 
Eric

If we wanted to try a liitle jamming, I don't know if the Alembic Showroom would be all that conducive.  One of the drummers I play with has a ranch with a big comfy ranch house room where we play.  He might be willing to host.  So do we want just a meet, greet, show & tell, or a big jam too?  And again, will Alembicized instruments be included?  (If so, I know we can beat out Texas - hehehehe)
 
 
Bill, tgo

I may be in the Sacramento area guys in the next few weeks or so. DO you guys mind if one of us Texans drop in?

Olie:
 
If they don't let you in, I'm boycotting!  Have you ever been to the mothership before?  If not, it is well worth the 1.5-2 hour drive from Sacto, even if there isn't a get together that works with your schedule.  Of course if would be very cool if your trip coincided with a get together.  Will you be travelling with an Alembic, or will we have to lobby Susan to lend you one so you can get in the door?  LOL
 
Bill, tgo

Hopefuly I'll be able to stop by Alembic, I've never been yet.  
 
Not sure if I'll have an axe with me probably not though.

The Dallas cartel will be happy to have Olie go out and check up on you's guy's and to pick up our cut
 
David T
 
PS; Bill, we even had 2 Turner basses in Dallas

Our cut, huh??  Well, I'm pretty sure Olie can be bought off with a case of IBC. Once he sees it all set up in a big tub of ice, I think he'll fold like a lawn chair
