How big is this thing ?

Wardpike · May 10th, 2009, 10:46 PM

Impossible for me to make it. But please come back with pictures!

Thanks in advance,

Ward

I am going to try and get there, it looks like a fun event.

I hope to see you there! and good luck with your business!

Wild Rice Chris · May 11th, 2009, 09:08 AM

I'll have my camera.
Yes, I have a booth.
First time!

It's fairly big. I've been going for close to ten years (used to take my dad for his birthday). Always fun to walk around and drool a bit.

Wild Rice Chris · May 17th, 2009, 10:26 PM

Well, the show was lots of fun. Great to talk to a few TDPers, play some music and see some cool guitars.

I ended up coming home with a bass. :oops

Here's where we were hanging out:

64Strat · May 17th, 2009, 10:31 PM

nice to meet you folks!

all the best!

bfgz · May 18th, 2009, 09:18 AM

I had a great time at the show and ended up with a gear change by the time it was over.......Just one.

It was great to meet the "Rice Custom Family" in person and see some of the fine instruments that they manufacture. I hope to add one to my family one day.

Wild Rice Chris · May 19th, 2009, 11:25 AM

Did anything follow you home?

This came with me:

When you mentioned picking up a Bass i wasn't thinking a Stand up model

Thats pretty Cool!

I picked up the Parker NiteFly-SA I posted pic's of yesterday. I have had my eye out for one of those but i don't come across many used ones in such good condition, most folks seem to hold onto them. (except on the bay of course)

Have fun with the Bass

Wild Rice Chris · May 19th, 2009, 07:44 PM

It's my third one, and the oldest (best guess right now is 125 years old). Not much point in buying something I can build, so I've stopped buying electric guitars and basses except vintage pieces at the right price. It feels strange coming off of 150 instruments in 10 years to be buying 1-2 a year and selling more than that.

Wild Rice Chris · June 30th, 2009, 08:29 AM

I got my bass back last week. Very nice!

studio1087 · June 30th, 2009, 09:48 AM

I wanna go! I emailed two buddies in Chicago. I'm at about 70% certainly that I'll be there.
