Re: UPDATED Auckland Gearfest - November 17th
Here some (lousy) photos of today's 'get together'. Fewer people than last time, same amount of decibels.
I am sure better photos from others will follow... and apologies for the people who are shown sideways.... Haven't got a clue how to fix that.
Highlight for me, Slowies Strat with the newly fitted pickups played through Opencoil's Vox.
DC on Yamaha Bass
Couple of obscure characters
OpenCoil playing Slowies partscaster (sounded nice though)
The organiser himself with Ben on the bass
Moody Sparkle (not his real name)
More Beer
Jimi on my bass and Ben holding his Yammie
OpenCoil and Slowy on my SA90
My BiL checking things out

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

UPDATED Auckland Gearfest - November 17th
This was probably the best organised GFest ever. but in typical AK gear fest fashion, nothing ever turns out as expected.
Most notably, the loud room was quieter than the not so loud room.
Nobody brought anything remotely acoustic. So what was the fuss about. Was there a fuss? I can't remember.
I brought all the gear but didn't bother taking pics, video or recording.
I jammed. I never jam.
I enjoyed the jams. I never enjoy jams.
We had a proper sausage cooker.
We had cold drinks.
We had earplugs that nobody needed! What's up wit that?
The weather was shit, then it turned nice and mild and the verandah was a fine sociable place indeed.
I really enjoyed that whole day.

Jesus Christ. Far too many pictures with me in them.
Excellent day. Not too many people laughed publicly at my dreadful playing, always a plus. I was very impressed with the Dimarzio's in Slowfingers' Strat. Didn't expect them to sound that great, but they sound like proper single coils. Nice and clear and spanky, but also fat sounding and more than coped with driving the Vox without sounding asthmatic like some single coils do. And noiseless too which is a bonus.

there are a few bald patches in that last pic........spot the odd one out (opencoil I believe??....is that an ASH guitar I see??) ...also strat and tele with maple = WIN. The only way it should be, even though I have a strat with rosewood
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Nice looking bass. I also like the simplicity of the headstock.jvpp wrote: Jimi on my bass and Ben holding his Yammie

I thought your playing was pretty good, just lacking in confidence. Hit the note hard even f it's a wrong one. It it's wrong, bend it up and play it again .OpenCoil wrote:Jesus Christ. Far too many pictures with me in them.
