Just in case anyone else is interested and doesn't want to trawl for the details.

This Sunday 18th 12-4pm here https://www.goodtimemusicacademy.co.nz/band-room-hire
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Nice, thanks Nik! With apologies for the vulgarity of mentioning monies, $10 koha to cover the room hire would be mucho appreciated...

As incentive (or possibly disincentive, depending on your taste for smelly old stuff and things starting with G...), here's what I'm thinking of dragging along:
  • 1969 Marshall JMP 50
  • 1966 Fender Pro Reverb
  • 2014 CS Gibson LP Special
  • 2010 CS Gibson SG '61 RI
  • 1964 Gibson SG Junior
  • aaand a bunch of fuzz pedals. Highlights include 1973 MkIII Tone Bender, 1972 Supa Tone Bender, fOXX Tone Machine, and Pigdog Fuzzbound.

And for the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I'll be dragging along my Axe FX (among other things).


I feel like if you don't get jollies out of either a 1969 JMP or an Axe FX there isn't much left for you in life

That's why old AC30s exist, sunshine!

For what it's worth, I'll bring some old Gibsons and a slightly newer CS Junior. I won't bring a strat though.

I'll also have grumpy cat face.

Chaps, Malc and Toany in particular, do you guys want to bring your strats? Would be nice to have a comparison between those and mine.

At risk of jinxing things, it's looking promising, so bar any last minute snafu, I should be there, maybe not at 12 though.
