you are lucky I still had your phone numberslash-ed wrote:almost donated my AFD to the Hamilton NZGers after leaving it in a separate room from my other gearThanks willow for catching that, and thanks Capt Black for bringing it back for me!
I want to thank everyone for coming today, it was an awesome turnout and a great day all around.....big thanks to tonemaker for sorting out venue and food
I took a grand total of 8 photo's and none of them are worth posting so I will wait for higainer and others to post theirs.......
highlights for me today were.......
1...hearing my amp next to the marshalls and mojave and still loving how it sounds. Got to test out a number of cabs and am now even more confused as to what to get
...actually I have a fare idea 
2...hearing single coils jcm900 stacked with a boss sd 1...i usually don't like gain stacking but his pedal and amp just sounded right together
3...Ed's Line 6 DT...tonemaker and me had a play through it and I wasn't overly impressed but then ed came in and flicked a switch and I almost shat my pants
..he dialed in the soldano amp and I was in love, then we put the head into tonemakers 2x12 mesa cab (with V30) and I was ready to shoot one off 
4.. capt blacks jansen........yes I love gain and rely heavily on a gain knob, but this amp just slays for shear power in terms of natural gain and response with tone/volume controls. The everything cranking sound is a tone I could sit all day with and never get bored (in fact I came up with a new riff pretty much as soon as I plugged in so thats always a good sign...now I just have to remember it
).

5.....danny danny danny...danny came up to me and said he had the shreddiest (spl?) guitar there so obviously I had to try it and he wasn't joking
...his charvel so cal had the most PERFECT neck on any guitar I have ever touched. Even when I was just holding it by the neck to plug a lead in I knew it was something very special. Then I plugged it in and the first words that came into my head were "fuck it" because I had GAS like I haven't had in a long time.. I have always been a charvel fan (surprise surprise) but haven't tried the san dimas/so cal guitars so it came as a big shock at how great it was......If my next NGD isn't a charvel then clearly the world has broken
