Hamilton Gearfest December 12th 09

BUT if you look at google's cached version, there's an actual site there. Very strange.

You're blocking something, this is what I get...

Yeah, I've never seen that icon in the bottom LH corner about "FoxyProxy". I haven't blocked anything recently, which makes me think that either FF or Avast! thinks there's something about that site that's not sanitary.

Me give it wide berth.

Cheers.

Thank you everyone for coming along. I was having too much fun to take photos but I will post some later...

Respect to *UNIQUE* and for his help today and his might LP guitar collection!

Gearfest was wicked! Well worth the trip. Great job guys and some very nice gear.

I tried to post pics but it tells me file is too big.

Got there late but had a great time. Pick of the day for me was Unique's collection (again!)...anyone who can stand up and say completely nonchalantly and without a hint of hubris that he 'only' bought 4 Les Pauls this time and can play like that gets maximum respect in my book. Ash's work was impressive as always - still can't believe he has me looking at Tele's and thinking 'maybe...' Calling card's zt lunchbox was flippin' loud!!!! still can't believe that sound was coming out of something the size of...well... a lunchbox! Wish that I'd got to hear more of hi-gainer's VHT - the 3 channel one blew us all away last time and I was keen to hear it's big brother (+ that Brian Moore guitar of his with the piezo is just a thing of beauty). Missed Willow and Hot Grits from last time but still a great afternoon - well worth the bollocking I got from the missus for not answering my phone when she rang me 5 times during my little show and tell spiel!

Thanks to Darcy and Unique for another great Gearfest...this time I actually brought some gear...next time I might actually play it!!!

crwobgood playing his strat into hos rehoused laney.. freaking sweet amp with unbelievable touch sensitivity.. much coolness, along with his weta tele on the right... monster xe that thing.


darcy doing his BG impersonation


highgainer trying to avoid getting snapped by snapping others.. fail
standing beside his team VHT and the most ergo friendly guitars I've ever seen.. that is the ultimate gigging set up bro.. much jealousy.


calling card and his designated driver, playing the 1ton tele.. even purdier IRL 9the guitar I mean ) and that lunchbox is louder than god... (if god was the size of a lunch box.. and god could be right xtian guys? cos he can do what he wants.. but even then .. this thing would be louder!) would've loved to hear it thru a cab.. next time CC!


*UNIQUE* might be able to name the chap on the left? on right the famous john gilmore... amp doctor extrordinaire


CJ's broadcast king faces off with DP's top hat


glowy top hat bottles


real drummer shows unimpressed face at plastic drums


puff puff give


CJ and his book-em-dano bass.. and evidence of an ex-AYP PRS...


*UNIQUE* has a nice rack


lunchbox of doom and CC's designated AC/DC riff machine... currently posessed by satan, but that's just to get on rob_on_guitar's team.


crow's setup



at the last gearfest *UNIQUE* placed a transistor into the fertile carpet on this spot, and look what grew



and here he planted some mahogany .. green thumbs on this dood... glad he uses them for good rather than evil
and to the left, closer up evidence of AYPs old PRS



rob_on_guitar fell over on to his elbow but managed to keep his "I'm not hungover as all hell, and did not get home at 6 this morning.. honest" pose.


*UNIQUE* admiring his plantation


AC/DC riffatronic... dood, you're gonna be famous one day.. we salute you.
