Looking forward to the Gathering at Bag End on Saturday. I am local and will bring my 6 Elan & 4 string Distillate along with my budding bassist lads, if thats OK?

Richard,
 
Make sure you contact Mica by e-mail/phone as she is keeping track of how many people are planning to attend so that she can plan accordingly.

I almost wanted to talk my sister out of marrying this jerk...I mean guy,  just so I can go to Chicago...but of course my father would come over and chop my head off, he has been trying to get her out of the house for years...late bloomer getting married at 30!

30? Late bloomer?  I got married at 46.  What does that make me (other than smart)?  hehehehe
 
Bill, tgo

just a norml guy...
 
i'm here for at least 10 more days

I know there will be at least one Series II bass at the Gathering.

I knew Mica would come thru for ya' Loch!
 
OO
WOW, I've been married as long as your sister is old gyonnii. (30 years in November)

Olie are you talking about to a woman or an Alembic that you are married to?
Bill they were starting to call my sister an old maid! Pole dancer
great body she's a work out freak but too many parties that didn't have Basses at them!

Hey ! Late bloomers unite !
I've made it past 57 and still single..been working on the theroy that someone has to keep their head about these things  
But I do have a nice Alembic..nuff said
 
G

Have to agree with garry.
I'm coming on 56, and have NO intentions of ruining the peace aqnd tranquility that exists in my appartment........unless of course it was a Golden Retriever puppy!!!

Just got to find the right one guys! I got married at 17 and it's lasted all these years.
 
OO
PS. I have a pretty fair Alembic(s) too.

Yeah............a Golden retriever.........very light coat,         and a black nose!!!!!

Whats Tommys line from Good Fellas: but ma I find a nice girl every night, in the morning I still love you !
But isn't it amazing how dogs & cats, etc are always happy to see you no matter what..hi Spike I'm home, I just wiped out the northern hemisphere..yeah yeah swell..food food !
 
Ok..back to matters at hand
8 days and counting

Yes, a week from tomorrow.
 
My transportation does not involve planes (or trains, for that matter), so I am bringing large heavy instruments, some with four strings and others with five.  To address a recent question, two will have SII electronics.  To address a question from a ways back, one of those will have more than ten feet of ebony lams.
 
And to address the wife point that has wound its way through these posts, I'll be bringing none, but have been getting requests from my lady friend (and singer) to see what we're all like (she has a thing for bass players, it appears).  I mention this in case we might want to have her do vocals on anything that we're playing.  If you think that's a possibility, you may want to bring lyrics.  Of course, if she comes, there's no obligation on our part to give her a singing opportunity--she'll be happy to do what the other companions are doing, i.e., watch the great gathering.
 
This should be fun.

WAY BIG FUN!
