I managed to get in, play a few chords and leave before the first camera was even drawn haha. Would have loved to have stayed longer but I had the kids with me ~ nice to meet some of the folks from here though.

Silver Jubilee IMHO was a little underwhelming, the clean channel sounded great as did the first OD channel. But as soon as the gain pot was pulled (which should have been the money shot) I was left feeling a little shortchanged? Seemed like there was a lack of bottom end and it all sounded a bit, well weak almost. Push it back in and oddly it sounded damn good, nice and full and a lot more bottom end to it.

Looked beautiful though, as did the Matchless that was next to it :wink:

Was awesome to catch up with you guys again, only got a small number of photos, bloody memory card was full... and I blame kdawg2a entirely for making me play his acoustic as I now want one, it played and sounded amazing, even with my mungbean abilities!!!!!! eeeeeek.

I would list my highlights for the day but there were just so many nice amps and guitars It is hard to narrow it down. Loved that Nocaster though! Molly can you tell me which pickups it had? I notice online they come with 51 Nocaster pickups in some and Twisted Tele in other versions, although I think the older versions had different ones again.
Great day, great gear and great like minded company!
