By the way, don’t google images for assman.
I wasn't keen on googling 'cream session' either.
:lol: As many as politicians have said - You've taken my comment out of context! :roll:
They are all actually the same Fender cream coloured tolex.
But that's no fun...

I gotta say, i'm still not convinced of Aucklands prowess here. I'm sure you'll be fine but by October 6 you'll be revelling in the epic photos of Christchurch's awesome fest and will feel the need to compete. Good luck to you all!
