I'll be heading off at around 10:30-11am so I'll be there around 12:30-1pm.

Travelling fairly light- just the old Gretsch (the green one is with a potential new owner at the moment), the gold Robin, Rhinolux amp and my pedalboard (now with added Neunaber).

Ha, just confirming I definitely won't be in attendance as its my 37th birthday, and the whole day is mapped out for me. Some of it involving messers le brun and clicqout, Sean connolys grill and tosca tonight :) It's not iron maiden but I do love a nice bit of opera too, cos I'm so fucking classy me. Oh may fit some crafty beers in too.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

This is probably the first time I've left the fest not wanting any new gear! :lol: A few people played my stuff and it all sounds great. Fest attendees have played the Tokai more than I have since it returned to my possession yesterday. Lots of nice sounding gear there as usual. Tasty sausages too (IB:JB). Good to meet a couple of new peeps as well.

Good to meet y'all down there, bummed I had to leave early to get to hockey, even more bummed to have a breakdown on SH1 and miss hockey anyway! Cheers to Matt though, saved the day and I got home eventually. Dude who replaced my radiator has some explaining to do.

Was great to hear Simon's Vox next to the boogie, and to get his approval on the boogie's Vox tones!

And big thanks to Hamish, took me a while since first discussing it, but I now have my first tele, and it's great! (Though I'll be needing a new neck, man you must have big mitts!)

Glad you like the Tele. Always a bit nerve-wracking handing something you've put together yourself to someone else. Half-expected you to go 'it's shit' and demand your money back! :lol: Sounded good through your Mesa though; much nicer than I've ever made it sound.

I've been thinking about a Nocaster-ish build, so if you want to let that neck go I could probably buy it back off you some time. Not currently though as the gear fund is exhausted from buying the Tokai back, and that'd leave you without a playable Tele anyway.
