Kungfusheriff, are you coming to the New Jersey Gathering, this Saturday?  It would be cool to see you (and your basses, of course!)
 
Peace;)

Sorry, can't make it...I have work Friday, a gig that night, a 100-mile round trip to buy a Bag End D10-D Saturday morning, family stuff that afternoon and a gig Saturday night. Please take lots of pics.

Hey Sheriff,
You are going to love that Bag End!!
I have 2 BxD 2x10(for top) and 2 1x15(bottom)
Anyway I had plans on attending the Jersey gathering untill I realized that I booked a gig that same day! (And Jersey is about 2.5 hrs from me) Anyway, enjoy that Bag End.
And...Otis...We want photos and lots of em'!!!!
Peace!!

Chalie, Shawn,
 
I'll do my best, I promise.  My wife forgot the camera, but I have a decent one on my iPhone...  I'll do what I can.  I'm actually in Parsippany, right now @ The Hampton Inn.  We're hitting NYC, tomorrow, if any of you guys from the area would like to hook up, in New York, that would be awesome!!!
 
Peace;)

Well, my new-to-me Bag End got gigged tonight and exceeded my high expectations. How was you guys' day?

I recently bought a Tacoma JR55 acoustic (Jumbo Rosewood -- top of the line Tacoma). Will someday be a highly sought after guitar, I am betting.
 
This is the USA acoustic guitar no longer made in the great Northwest because Fender bought them and closed them down. Yesterday I bought a Roland AC90 Acoustic Amp. I am blowing myself away with this combo. Not Alembic, but I plan to record with the Tacoma and mix in the old Series I bass (could be some offerings from the Series I guitar as well.)

I spent the day in NYC, for the first time, August 7th!  It was cool.  Then hit the Alembic Gathering, August 8th, and played Peabody's in Cleveland, Sunday.  Not bad for a weekend!  I had the most fun at the Gathering, though, hands down!  Sorry you missed it, kfs!
 
Later;)
