Bob, I think it's great that you and your daughter were able to attend FJ 2011 and we all hope you'll return in 2012. I was the one who asked you about the Mosrite-like bases. When is info about them gonna be posted on your website?

With all that's going on it the jam, it's tuff to hear anything...maybe in 2012 you could consider bringing a couple portable headphone style amps to play thru? That way those of us who want to try a guitar or bass can hear w/o disturbing others and give your products a proper "go."

One of the founding members of our group, GWG, had a couple original Mosrite bases and they were hardly ever played because of 3 things: 1)noisy pups, 2)no guts/growl, 3)no balsy bass.

If your guitars are any indication, I'm sure you've resolved all of these issues while retaining the unique sound.

Kudos to you for providing quality/competitively priced products.

Walt

Hello Walt! Thank you for sending me my briefcase from the event, it arrived safe and sound. I just spoke to Hugh McDonald and we have some tweaking to experiment with on the bass still to get it just right. Once that is complete we will be able to move forward. My best guess is spring time for a finished run. Thank you for the nice compliments we really appreciate it!

Best, Bob

Thank Tom Baltaeff for your brief case....he was the one who sent it.
He was also the one that perpetrated the entire event!

See you next year. Hope you sell a ton of instruments.

I missed this year's because I wasn't aware of the event. Now that I know that there might be one in 2012, perhaps you could create a mailing list (if such hasn't been created already) to send announcements to so that I/we can make plans. Once I receive an announcement I can then program it into my Yahoo Calendar.

That is a good idea Bob!

I think we need more ways to get the word out, this was really unique event of Ventures jamming, food and suds, trivia and alot of Ventures fun!

Tom's workin on getting ALL the Ventures to be there in 2012. I'd like nothing more than a "packed house" to show our support for the group.

Don't think I've ever seen so many mosrite/mosrite-like guitars before all in the same room @ the same time.
