Dang.  My tax bill killed this trip.  Maybe next year.

Sorry to hear that, Michael. I was looking forward to some Mississippi River bluff reminiscences.

Re: Dave Matthews and the river:  now I remember when this happened.  Of course it may not be a problem as the bar on the boat is downstairs and inside, as I recall.

Just for a little food for thought..I am bringing with me a sketch of the new concept custom design Bass I have been toying with. I say concept because it has a new additional system device involved.
Yes it also has a name to go with it, thats all I will say for now but I will be willing to discuss it with any and all members at the Chicago show. After all,  got to leave something to talk about.

Is anybody bringing a Series II bass? I'd REALLY like to get a chance to play one!

I've thought deeply about it, but both my S-2's will be staying home folks. Just not set up for traveling with them.  
 
I apologize and hope I'll still be welcome.

Olie, I TOTALLY understand why you aren't bringing yours! I wouldn't even check my Rogues on a plane, let alone a Series instrument.
 
For the same reasons, I'm guessing that Mica probably won't be bringing one either.
 
I was just hoping that somebody that's either local or driving up might be able to bring one. The closest I've come is playing a non-functional (dead electronics) Series I. I've never actually seen a Series II in person.

I'll have my Series 1.5 along, and I'm sure others will be bringing some very nice hardware as well..
