Mid atlantic Bottleneck meeting.

Ok then I will  look the room for that day. As to dac's I say bring them and we can put them in the system as we proceed. I will have some new speakers to show off and hopefully a new digital amp to play with. Should be good to go .
 
hi all, i'm Don and been to 3 meets. you may remember me. i'd like to make it 4. health has been a bit of an issue for me of late but i have built one el84 guitar amp with tiger stripe maple and a 1x10 speaker cab of sapele wood finished in tung. if anyone would like me to bring it (and if anyone would have a guitar to wail away on it) i can. otherwise i'd like to come empty handed in any case. a partial ride with Ray would be nice if he's up for my sterling personality, but i'd could handle the entire ride too. let me know if i'm okay to attend. thanks, don
 
There should be room for you in the car. Hopefully your guitar amp will fit in the boot / trunk as well. Chad will be coming as well. Send me a message closer to the date of the meet and we can work out how to pick you up.

Everything I plan to bring would fit tidily into a third of your trunk. It would even fit into a spare seat of your car if there is one by the time this meet happens, lol. I build very compact electronics, thats sort of my niche. I just hope that someone will have a turntable and preamp to play through the set up I plan to bring. Fingers crossed.

  I think i will put out a post inquiring about what is coming and also what we will need a little before the meet. It would be helpful if people would post as to what they are bringing so we can plan ahead.
 
I am making gradual progress on my BeePre kit.  I'm on page 42 out of 63 in the instruction manual.  I think I'm a couple capacitors short, so I sent email to Bottlehead about getting some more.  So I ought to have it done by the end of March. 

Also, I can bring along my telecaster to plug into any guitar amp.  I don't claim to be an actually guitarist though.  I goof around with guitar licks or barre chords, but not a lot more.

Oh, another thought.  I bought a set of replacement picks for my MIM telecaster a long time ago.  They're Microcoils designed by Bill Lawrence.  I never did get around to putting them in.  Maybe I will for this meet.
 
thanks Ray. will meet up at your convenience. the amp is small and the speaker cab is only about 18x20x12deep. will msg as things move fwd, don 
 
Looks like the meet will be at my place. The room is in use that weekend. No problem though, just a little less room. Looking forward to a good turnout.
 
I could check into the Reston Community Center if you like.  Then maybe we could stroll down to the woodshop.

I should have my Fender Bandmaster rebuilt for the meet.  Not audio stuff but its been a good learning experience for me.  If you want, I will also bring my audio interface and a microphone I have modded (Its close to a Neumann U87 now) so that people can get an idea of the differences between live sound and recorded sound.  We could record voice, acoustic guitar, guitar amp, etc.
 
I will be there. Don and Chad, I will send you messages to discuss where and when we will meet up.

It will be great to meet you Roscoe and possibly talk about some ideas for the CAF competition for next year.

Hey everyone. Sorry but i`ve been consumed by work. Looks like a good turnout. If you need directions you can call me at 703 60eight87oneone or message through the forum. I`ll have speakers and a new amp but my preamp has quit and i have`nt had time to troubleshoot it. I may just end up recycling it into a new project. I plan on starting at the usual time of between 9-10 and we can run all day. I will provide some light refreshments but if you wish to bring some it will be most welcome.
  see you all tomorrow.
