Don't really care, just wondering if someone will have one I can have a blat on to see what it's like.

I've sometimes wanted an octaver, but thinking about it, some sort of harmoniser seems to be a more versatile choice.

Of course, midnight on a Wednesday would suit me best of all.
Haha true to form, I may not be able to make it if it's on Sunday. Sunday arvo I am flying out to Huntly Power Station for a week for work...
Riffles!!
You and Hamo are a right pair, aren't cha! :D :D

I was working for NGC and visited Huntly a few times during construction. We reckoned we'd have to put a couple of sticks in the ground and line up the workers to see if anyone moved between smokos. They were lazy, lazy little construction workers, so they were! If I don't get to meet you this w/e, have a great time up country next week. :P

Money tree is a bit withered, so can't afford :-/ (Six hour round trip... a palmy gearfest would be fun, though. Only a 2 hour round trip.)

:( :( :o :? :? :cry: :cry: :evil: :evil: :roll: :roll:

Ok so the predictions don't look good.

Here's the thing. I can get a venue pretty much whenever I need it. I'm not averse to driving in and carrying gear and setting up just to chat to 1person......but a crowd (even a small one) would make this much more fun.

So put a stake in the ground tonight for confirmation tomorrow night.

Go ahead on Sunday as already stated, or propose a new date further out and get a bigger group...?????

I have myself booked for the gearfest for 1pm and I intend to be there (with my new Jazzie and a couple of my home-brew amps in tow), unless it is canned, in which case I'd appreciate knowing by about 12:30pm at the very latest on Sunday.

Like I said, I can't make Sunday due to family committments, but could have done Saturday. I'm pretty bummed out, and would have liked to have been there.

I love driving through Huntly, it's almost as nice as Ngaruawahia. But Huntly has the DEKA sign...win win.





We've never stopped.

Sunday. I'll be there. Can't wait to see this new Jazzmaster! If you're lucky I might bring my latest P90 flavoured toy

Sorry guys, I can't make it Sunday. Work and all that. Catch you at the next one. Lads, since I won't be there, do me a favour - Give Robnob a good talking to, make sure he doesn't sell his Mark III.

Cheers mate. I'm having regrets about it already and I haven't sold it yet! Any luck with your Lowden headstock fix?

I would drive down to see the Jazzmaster probably. It better be worth the effort. :lol:
