That's all Slowy's gear.
Notice the Ibanez and Strat are hidden?
I have a reputation to maintain. :D
Hey I would have liked to seen the Ibanez... I have a couple myself...

I thought the Tokai ES sounded pretty darn mean through BG's Bogner... I should have put more practice in before coming there though... kinda embarrassing
getting round the likes of Zaulkin and a few others that were there... makes me realize how limited my own playing really is..

Yeah, sorry about that. I could only find one of my guitar stands. I tried to leave the cases open but it all got too hard. :oops:

Be grateful; we used to call Noobs Samick.

Welcome Marcus, it's long past time you mastered your computer incompetence and joined the jungle. :lol:

Glad my budget vintage set-up was worthy to be photographed! All JAP/NZ/US made and no one thing cost more than $800

That's a seriously cool guitar. I tried to take a pic of your rig but you kept standing in front of it when I had the camera out.

thanks, It will hopefully be amazing when I get round to sorting the neck out.

It was my first electric guitar, but it's got a pretty thin neck which makes my hands sore if I play it too much. I might sell it to someone with smaller hands at some point. but it's hard to let go of your first!

Yeah I think setting up next to the DJW amps was a mistake. nice company but very loud! It's almost all original tubes, one of the preamp tubes went microphonic, but the rest are at least 45 years old
