It's in Petone right next to the train station, on Jackson street. But Wellington city is like.. 5-10 minutes drive away?
sweet, that'll keep her occupied, :wink:
hopefully the Ironbird will be a Steambird by then, and i'll bring the pedalboard down and maybe the Gunn if anyones interested in hearing that
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

Eclipse is a music shop and practice space. It's on Jackson Street in Petone opposite Kathmandu.

not sure exactly what mods, Ryan at CAB would know more
but less mids, more cleans and putting out about 90w with a pair of KT88s

Just got this back:
Eclipse Petone wrote:Yes the 23rd is fine we will make available to you guys 3 rooms, 1 for jamming, the 2nd for displaying and trying out your gear, and the 3rd is a lounge for hanging out and chatting, also if you would like you can bring a BBQ as te puni road is right next door to us and is kind of a loading and drop off zoned road, which is owned by us and the other businesses located on or around this road, it is perfect for a BBQ we will this time open the roller door which backs on to this road, Also because its a Sunday there is plenty of parking in front of our building and in te puni rd i would say enough parking for at least 12 cars.
Our fee for the day is $150.00 from 1.00 to 6.00 pm.
Let me know if you would like to book.
I'll go ahead and confirm unless there are any objections. If enough of us turn up it should be between $10 and $20 per person. Anyone nearby with a BBQ? Or anyone with a protable BBQ?

I was at home preparing my pedalboard for the picture thread, maybe it's my long-lost twin that my parents never told me about? :shock:

To be honest, people often try to tell me they went to school with my older brother (I don't have one, I'm the oldest) or that they've met me before somewhere. Then I tell them the older brother doesn't exist and they're like "Really? are you sure?" "Yes I'm @#$%ing sure !" :lol:
