...and the Peavey! Just bought my wife a new bike and she wants a new phone so you would think that might possibly justify a purchase for the gander...maybe...null_pointer wrote:Hrm I'll bring the Ricky. Not sure I can bond with it's baseball bat neck but you Gibbo sniffers might appreciate it. /31 RSA31 head and prob the Dr Z 212, maybe the Vox and another guitar or two if I have room

Happy Tronfesting Lads. I'm with you in spirit. (20YO Single Malt)
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Tronfest 1st July 2017
One of the nicer gearfests this was. Right balance between people, noise and space and some cool gear around. The loud room was used for talking so that was a bonus
Nine hour round trip for me but well worth it (apart from the potential speeding ticket ). I think Gibson won this time, closely followed by "fender bender".
First time I heard the Katana's, both head and combo and I must say, Dave, Nick and others got some mighty nice noise coming out of them.
The Quilter (?) was an eye opener too. Sounded phantastic!
Another highlight for me was Grant playing my 6 coil pickups on the Katana. Wow!
Thanks to Grant and Simon
Sorry, can' get the 3 pics I took off the mobile... but others were taking a few.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
