I'm sure I was knocking out some Jazz at various times.

Thanks lads - we managed to raise $50 towards the forum costs - much appreciated!

Sooo much amazing gear...always impressed by the DIY crew (jvpp, willow)...

I loved opsguy's Freidman.

Si's black Dusie.

jvpp's awesome pickups.

The Quilter was impressive.

The Sheldon (Mister B) was awesome as always.

And lots more.

Looks like a good day out though - well done lads!
Actually, that's true...we had two there, and I don't think I have a single shot. My camera was being an arse so I had to be selective...

We need more pics of that Vox....

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I have the single cut version of the Virage. Brilliant machine and the curved body is just killer.
Thanks Tim :D

Yeah, definitely. I'd happily have either, although the Duesenberg trem edges it into the lead for me.

It's always great to get together in real life. Talk crap. Make noise. Collectively GAS over each other's gear. Great to see some new faces too. I sense a beer night would be a good idea in the near future.

A small amount of hair close up can look like lots of hair far away!
