Dood Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 It is with great pleasure I can add that I have been asked to interview my fellow Hartke endorsers Dave and Frank prior to the clinic for LickLibrary.com. I will also be at the clinic supporting Hartke, so come down, it'd be great to put BC names to faces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Just got back in, enjoyed that but not as much as Dan (dc2009) who won the Hartke combo. Congratulations you lucky motherfiddler Nice to meet you dood as well. Edited July 7, 2011 by Maverick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have a proper pick bass session this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Git! I had to work last night and I would have loved to have gone and picked up some tips on using a plectrum (as well as winning some gear!). Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 It was a great evening. fascinating to watch two hugely dynamic players up close and personal, and meet them afterwards too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Just checking in very quickly before I run out the door to my next job! It's busy right now! The interviews went really well with both Frank and Dave, what a lovely couple of guys they are! You can see pictures up on the LickLibrary Facebook page already. I haven't had time to look at the main website or Digital Villages pages yet though. it was great to meet fellow BCers last night and obviously a big congratulations to our very lucky winner! What a great prize! Ok, I'll write a proper review soon, but I gotta dash right now! Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also mighty looking forward to seeing the price tag on an ellefson sig, I may well have to consider one if it doesn't take more michael than this courier!

Coincidentally, I seem to have worn the black and blue combo for a few of my videos, but honestly not planned! I guess I need a wardrobe makeover!

Skol303 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nice work, Dood! I'd be interested to see these interviews... I used to really like Ellefson's playing when I was younger - the little intro to "Peace Sells" is still kicking around in my head, even now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
