I'm fine with either.

Either date works for me as well. What about Jong (our host for the event) and Bill? And did Mike (Maxvintage) ever check in?

I have an email into Jong and will report back. I do not know the contact info of maxvintage...

Maybe we should start a Potomic Dingwallers' meetup group? Thoughts?

I recently bought a ABII and would like to see Jong's shop. I'm in Catonsville, MD and could host at my house, if that's needed. Good excuse to put a fresh keg in the bar. Either way, I'd like to attend. Let me know the final details. Thanks

Talked to Jong @ Jive and he says the 22nd will work the best. How about 1pm? Maybe spend a few hours and then see what happens from there. Please RSVP to this thread. I'm hoping for 100% attendance of the local forumites... Rob

22nd works for me.

June 22nd at Jongs' place - works for me!

haven't been here in a while and I just saw this--I'll be out of town that day, but don't mind me

All, Just to confirm, we are on @ Jive Sound, 1pm, Sunday June 22nd. All are encouraged to make it out. I'll have my Dingwalls (AB 1, Z3, Super J4) and a few other basses on-hand. Bring your Dingwalls! See you there. Rob p.s. address and info for Jive Sound can be found at [url:3fyrmb27]http://jivesound.com/home/[/url:3fyrmb27]

Cool - lets take a picture with ALL the axes lined up and post it on this thread! See ya there.

My Dingwall and I will be appearing live on stage at Red Eye's Dock Bar from 2-6 that afternoon. Have a great time. I hope I can another GTG.

Hey guys, hope everyone is still able to make it tomorrow. I would suggest bringing stands for your basses as I don't think Jong has that many extras. That way, we can keep things organized. See everyone tomorrow. Rob

I'll be there, but only with 2 of my 3 Dingwalls, the ABI is on loan and I wasn't able to get it back in time

You loan out your Dingwalls? You're a far braver man than I. Still, I'll have my old-skool ABI there for playin'. Rob

Darn it, I missed the get together. Something stupid came up and got in the way. I hope someone took some pictures.

Hi all, Sorry for the delay, but I thought I would post a wrap-up of the events yesterday. We all met at Jive Sound in Alexandria, VA. Jong is an authorized Dingwall dealer and fellow forumite and offered up his place to host the event. We had 5 guys in attendance and 11+ basses there, which means everyone had more than one Dingwall present. Everyone played my Z3 (you'll have to ask them for impressions as you already know mine) and we took turns with the other instruments. My personal highlights were Dave's beautiful AB (center-left AB with scroll-work in my photo) and Frank's hot-rodded AB (far right AB). Both sounded great and looked even better. I had my SJ restrung with DR Black Beauties while I was there and will report back after playing this weekend. The strings look pretty cool against the maple neck and I was pleased with the initial sound. Everyone took photos, but here are the best of mine. My apologies for some of the fuzziness. I was shooting without flash and it was tough to hold the camera still. Sheldon called in during the proceedings to see how the event was going. I had a great time and met some very cool people, all of whom share the Dingwall disease. Here is a link to my photos. If you have pics of the event, you can upload them to this site as well. And you should be able to download full res versions if you're interested! http://gallery.mac.com/robh#100040 Hopefully we can do it again after we've all acquired a few more basses and it would be great to increase the number of people (although we might need a bigger space if we do). Rob

Nice shot. You know, as amazing as that picture is, it just goes to show how over-the-top Fullrange's collection is - one guy with 24 (25?) Dingwalls. Wow. I'm hoping for a Texas Dingwall GTG someday. Mark

The meet was great, and my impression of XRob's Z3 is that it made me decide that I may want a Z3 instead of holding out for a Prima...and that says a lot to me, the feel and tone possibilites were amazing. I will upload some of my pics once I d/l them if any turned out well. It was great meeting some really cool fellow Dingwallers!
