Jvpp alert

I said to Phil with how long it is between the fests the Ass might be where to hold the next one given we'll all be really old by then

I seem to be in a lot of your pictures...stalker

[Single coil]

It isn’t stalking if you know about it.

[H671]

These amps faced each other to form a vortex of doom where only the brave or ear plugged dared to tread:


The first is H671’s Vibro King. Big, loud, and surprisingly aggressive sounding for a Fender amp
The second is Slowy’s Optimus Prime (needs a new name- I nominate Authentic Working Death-Ray). It’s a beast. I made the mistake of trying it after inserting my ear plugs and didn’t realise just how loud it was! Apologies to everyone in the Grey-Lynn/Ponsonby/K’Road postcode. The little Jansen never ceases to please the ears too. What a little beast!

The Vibro King never got past 4 on the volume knob & out of interest, when Pete Townsend from the Who was using these on stage, he would never go past 2 on the volume.

Looks like a fun event. I'm gutted I missed it, flew back to NZ on friday night and spent all saturday sleeping :/

Both guitars are home made. The tele has a P90 in the bridge. The tele neck and the pickups in the double cut are special - one coil per string.
The tele allows for quick bridge pickup changes from the back (less than 2 minutes to change).

I think you mean 'Hand Made", home made doesn't begin to show the hours spent on them. I wish I could have hung around to spend some time with them. I even practiced some CCR especially...

[gambler32]

Thanks for the great couple of hours, we will skip guitar lessons for the next one. I will bring two flys to the next one.
Thanks again.

That Vibro-King needs this:

Just sayin'...

You could always buy the Vibro King to go with the attenuator.

[casemysta]

Another one soon?

[Single coil]

[Single coil]

[Danger Mouse]

We planning on using the same venue, i.e. the pub where the landlord insist you use coasters on the tables for the beer glasses (and gets really upset if you put your beer on anything that isn't a table)?
