With any luck I'll be there Sat. afternoon. I'll bring a pair of Transonics and some guitars. And a camera and some earplugs Image If anyone wants me to bring anything specific let me know...

I spoke with Bob Rissi today and he expressed an interest in coming by. For those that don't know, Bob was Director of the amplifier division at Rickenbacker in the late 60's.

John A - I don't know if you remember me but I have your old '69 360. Dane - I bought a case for my 3000 from you a while back. It will be nice to meet you all...!

Joey, unfortunately it doesn't look like I'm going to get there. I’m just settling back to East Coast time. This past trip to the Far East really kicked my butt.

Mike: I'm going to get there the old fashioned way: a station wagon. With me, two amps, and 9 guitars stuffed inside...

I would do that. However, I would have to be back by the early aft on Saturday as it is my birthday and my wife & kids would kill me.

Yes Erik, take the afternoon off.

I will also have some give aways. I will have some t-shirts featuring my website: joeysbassnotes.com

I will also have a few Signage kits which is a new product from Avery Office Products, contributed by Avery Dennison.
