I'm getting more serious about coming now. I may even bring 2 friends who are serious studio cats & great players who LOVE the Bose. I tried to call Jack & haven't heard back from him to make a reservation yet.

I just spoke with him at the beginning of the week, but didn't get a response to a couple of follow-up emails. I imagine he's temporarily swamped with something else, and will call you back shortly. He's generally quite on top of things.

Oldghm,

Is that enough?

Thanks Ken, it's a little out of my vocal range but I'm workin on it.

Well, now I'm as 75%, found that I can fly into San Jose, should make the drive easier. Planning to bring my Hohner Steinberger copy guitar (fits in overhead), I'm assuming that I won't need my own PAS...

I just heard "To Sir With Love" on Muzak & am thinking of lyrics. This is going to be pretty campy & funny if we pull it off.

Hey ronjazz,

Plenty of Bose Systems at the Hidden Barn so you don't have to bring one. Does that get you over the top. I figure for most of us, this is an over-center-clutch type thing.

Is your Hohner Steinberger copy one that has the little tiny body or the large one. (I have one with the strat sized body).

And for all you Line6 guys. "To Sur with Love"

Hear it with the PS1 Metal Patch.

Not at all what I had in mind when dialing that one in!

Attention Guitarists...Tom Munich, Ronjazz, ST, ASAT & other guitarists planning to attend the Bose-O's West gathering...

I own a myriad of pedals... (including a Yamaha AG stomp) which you are very welcome to use in front of your guitar. This would save you the trouble of tooting them around, as they can become very heavy, very fast in a flight bag ....

You are also welcome to use any of my guitars... I have a bunch of electrics to choose from, but only two electric/acoustics (a nylon string Godin and an Elite Ovation)

So if you would prefer leaving your ax at home...let me know...

Ciao, the Joseph

Joseph, that's a very generous offer. I am planning to bring my Hohner Steinberger copy, as it fits in the overhead, and a Digitech RP50, but I would love to mess with your Godin nylon. I have my flight booked, now on to the car and room...see you all Sunday eve.

ST, I have the small-bodied Steinberger with Duncan 59s, and the bass (fretless) as well, excellent values. I look forward to meeting everybody!

Joseph, thanks for the offer. I have one of those Godin nylon-strings too, & I love it. I can't go anywhere without an axe though - it's surgically attached, so I'll probably be bringing a Goodall with a triple-pickup system in it.

It's too bad Chuck's not gonna be at the Bose O's West Bash...

We could have had that "transcendental jam" he's mentioned ...

With previous plans (my wife and I will be in the Carribean the week before the bash) and lots to do when I get back, it just wasn't in the cards this time. I camped for a month in Big Sur while in my late teens (many moons ago) and the place literally changed my life! It feels like I'm missing an opportunity of a lifetime, but I'm hoping that an eventual Bose-Os East gathering will be equally huge. 'Hope you're available for that one, Joseph (and everyone else). Meanwhile, don't skip that jam on my account...

If you're happy and you know it

do the poll

(please)

When are you arriving poll Tell us when to expect you.

Thank you!

Hi all,
my wife Annie & I and our two sons will be arriving late Sunday night and staying through the gathering. We're looking forward to meeting all of you, and listening to some great music! It seems I don't have much time to post on forums lately, so a little introduction might be in order.

Annie & I are the founders of Pick-up the World pickup systems, and we've been passionately involved in the quest for better sound for many years. I also do quite a bit of live sound and recording work, and have had the good fortune of playing bass & mandola with Tom Munch. Through playing with Tom (and also from seeing other artists use the PAS with great results) I've become a great fan of the Bose technology. It is refreshing to hear the degree of transparency that can be achieved with these systems, and this is especially true when there are a lot of musicians playing at once. I've also heard the systems work great in rooms where conventional PA's would barely work at all due to horrible gymnasium-like acoustics.

Our family is coming to Big Sur to help support the cause, and also to share the excitement about how the future of sound is unfolding. Our younger son Devon (9) is learning drums, our older son Nick (17) plays guitar and is learning to build instruments, and Annie plays flute, sings, and teaches creative woodworking. I'm likely the most technically minded out of the bunch of us, and I do whatever I can to keep performers from being distracted by thier equipment.

My family is thankful to have the chance to attend such a great sounding event, and we look forward to sharing many wonderful times together.

Hi David,

Looking forward to meeting you. Any chance you would be around if we had presentation on Sunday evening around 7 or 8 pm?

David,

Is there *any* chance you have one of these you could bring with you. I'd love to hear this through the Bose System. Also, Cliff-at-Bose will be there, and if he knows in advance, we might be able create a custom preset for the Light Body Guitar.

Hi St,
I have a Light Body guitar that is destined to go to San Diego, but I see no problem if it takes a little side trip with us up to Big Sur

Oops!
we should have no problem getting in by 7 on Sunday night.
Looking forward to meeting you too!

Whoool, David Enke~~that's some creative invention~~is it meant to be an accompaniment instrument and/or a solo instrument~~? It's look is really striking~~

This Bose gathering is attracting a myriad of musical talent~~those who attend are going to have a blast. What an honor
