Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee | I do ... but my company's main office in Santa Monica so I am there for a few days most weeks. I get the best of both worlds ... I get to hang in LA a lot and I get to live in the Bay Area. West LA Music is a great place. I spent a bit of time there "back in the day". I bought my Kustom III half stack there along with the other usual stuff. One day I was in there noodling around and this tall black dude with really long fingers came over and started showing me some stuff on the bass. He spent about 15 minutes talking to me, showing me all kinds of amazing stuff and explaining how important knowing where you could go on the fretboard was to playing anything. I thought he was trying to get me to sign up for lessons ... but I hung in there, he didn't apply any pressure, then he picked up a case, waved to the store clerk and left. Store clerk came over and told me it was Stanley Clarke. | ||

Joined: August 2003 Posts: 4619 Location: SoCal | Just emailed "Mr Big" to see if he wanted a short SoCal vacation. I'll donate the credit card miles. If you remember, we had him out here twice in 2004 !! All newer members should go to either or both...good times and repetition for retention :eek: :p :eek: With that said, I am probably known for going to more of these, remembering less. | ||
