I dont know what gear I'll bring, I'll decide closer to the time (legras, VHT and MJW roadstar are candidates, the latter even if only because I'm selling it :lol:) but I will bring a bassist. Sorry about that.
-
I'll bring my gig gear as I'll probably go straight to my gig afterwards which you're all welcome to come to ;) :D
* Paul Richardson SCR and SGR
* Martamp Orion and 2x12 with Celestion Golds
* Bogner XTC Classic
-
I'll bring my super bass head along then if you've got you're bringing your cab, if that's OK?
-
Sure mate, no probs :)
-
How far is this place from the train station? I'll be coming, waiting for agile to get my 8 string back in stock (September ish) I'll bring that if I get it in time.
Mark bring the Legra with the Aftermath!!!!! :D
In exchange I'll let you use my V picks ;)
-
10 mins walk.

-
I should be there, with V6-20, Cub and Electra prototype, and a couple of cabs.
-
I dunno what guitars I'll bring, I'll either decide nearer the time or let people decide (if there's any particular guitar or pickup they want to try out etc) and will bring the Splawn head and borrow a cab if that's ok?
-
I'm gigging on 16th Oct, so its a no go for me - hope its a great day for all.
-
I'm really hoping to make this one. I'll let you know know nearer the date, if I make it I can bring my Cornford MK50 or Hurricane and a couple of guitars... maybe my '57 re-issue custom and the Wayne T Type?
-
I should be there, with V6-20, Cub and Electra prototype, and a couple of cabs.
Looking forward to giving that cub a go!
-
You dirty northern monkeys! Are southern fairies allowed to this also? Theres some tasty advanced fares from London going down!
-
All are welcome. As long as you can pass the chips and gravy challenge!
-

I'll be there - I'm most definitely a Southerner!
-

Played it when I collected my new amp last week. Sounded spot on through a 1x12
-
Just a reminder that Martin and I are gigging near the meet that night with Doppelganger if anyone wants to stop over locally, have a beer or three, and check out some stuff in action?

Ooooh, sounds tasty.
EDIT
Just listened to the clip on myspace and it sounds very tasty indeed!
-
http://www.myspace.com/mjwamplification
It does indeed. Is that you Dave and Tom Jackson on those clips Martin?
-
Nope, it's my Orion I think and Tom/Martin playing.
-
Yep, it's mostly Tom and a bit of me.
The Cub's even better now as I've added a gain boost. Ask Shobet, he liked it. :)
-

Stop it!
-
So nice in fact that I'll be having one once I've cleared the current credit card off in a month or so. :)
-
I'm really looking forward to giving it a go - I've got some debt to clear down and may need to move a few things on :(. Might be a convincer if it's a great little amp - I'm only a bedroom guitarist at the moment with no future plans to get out gigging again.
-
I thought there were rather more of us up North? There's only 9 of us coming it would seem. Any more takers?
-
Ian, are you bringing Wez with you, or are you trekking up all by your lonesome?
-
If Wez is up for it I'll be bringing him.
-
I'm now 99% sure I can make it, so here's what I'll bring:
Splawn Quick Rod head - if someone wouldn't mind this going through their cab it'd be handy. I may also bring my G-Major in it's rack for this, if I have everything programmed up intime anyway! :lol:
Patrick Eggle Climaxe (Berlin Prototype) - New wind Holy Divers
If anyone has anything they want me to bring, shout up and if I can fit it in the car, then I'll bring it :D
-
You can use my cab mate, no bother :)
Also helps if we use my 2x12 for everything as it a) helps us compare the different amps and b) make sure only one person is playing at a time!!!
:lol:
-

:lol:
Sounds like a great idea.
I'll have the deluxe with me though - unless we plug that through your 2x12 as well :o
-
We can do :)
-
thx Ian. i am going to have to miss this one though as its my first anniversary and i just got a very dirty look when i asked if we were doing anything on that date :D
-

bring her along! sounds like she'd like to rock out too :P

:lol:
Cheers Dave.
Due to total lack of a band situation, I reckon this will be my 1st decent chance to crank it up and hear how it really sounds :D
-
thx Ian. i am going to have to miss this one though as its my first anniversary and i just got a very dirty look when i asked if we were doing anything on that date :D
Didn't you just take her to India and Nepal? Surely many brownie points are there to be claimed back :D
-
thats what i was thinking too... but apparently not
-
I'd quite like to go to this if the boss lets me out 8)
No point bringing the orion if Dave has his there but I can bring my ac15 and latest blackstar ht20 head which is a great little head.
PRS 305, PRS,SC245 and PRS Sunburst 22 if anyone wants a go?
Rory Gallagher HAWK booster is also well worth a go - its killer!
Cheers
Matt
-
I'd love a fiddle with the 245!
-
The Hawk boost sounds interesting!
-
Hmmmm. 16 Oct.
I might see if I can get a cheap rail ticket!
The SC245 does sound interesting!!
-
Provided I'm not working that weekend (might be, need to check), I might be up for popping over. Can bring a shiteload of pedals for you lot to play with if you want... Will also drag Marauder over if he's doing nowt.
-
Oooohhh, I'm very tempted to come! :D If I hadn't really a lot of things to get time the coming months... will see!
-
Rory Gallagher HAWK booster is also well worth a go - its killer!
Friend of mine makes those, they're dynamite. All his pedals and amps are, in fact.
-
Potentially I could manage this cheap with the look of train fares just now. I shall think about it.
I'm just as cantankerous a swine in real life, you'll be glad to know :lol:
-
OH FOR $%&# SAKE!!!
8 string back in stock... tried to place order... hard cases not in stock now
*sends email*
-
Now then chaps still not back online doin this from work but Im going to try and get there what time does it start?
keith
-
We'll have access from 8:30 ish onwards, but I don't think any of us are planning on getting there quite that early. I'm going to be heading over at around 10 to make sure everything is in order.
-
That's early! Will have to be an early morning car journey for me then!
I should have some BKPs in my Baja by then - unless I get lazy and don't get round to installing them.
-
Do people have preferred times as I'm not bothered what time we kick off? I'm more concerned with people turning up or not!
-
I'll be there whatever time it is (within reason of course)
-
I'll be coming!
I'll bring my Tele with Blackguards and a Fender Princeton Reverb.
-
What time to people prefer, morning, mid-day(ish), afternoons. I figure we're going to be there most of the day so I'm going to take the opportunity of getting there mid-morning and giving my gear a good workout. It's been a while since I've had stuff on 10!
-
no it's not. It was 36 hours before you posted when we were trying out the studio again. :)
-
no it's not. It was 36 hours before you posted when we were trying out the studio again. :)
I didn't have the Marshall with me then, so 40w v 100w and I'll make you put your head in front of the cab!
-
Well if I can make it im going to drive down this time so I will be setting off from Sunderland early doors to make a day of it didnt have much time at the Manchester meet.Might even take in Dave's gig on the night is anyone else going ? Could bring my TSL if anyone is interested and the old LP Standard. Having said that sounds like some nice gear going to be there so maybe I should just leave the Marshall at home.
keith
-
Bring it, the more the merrier!
-
I'm still about 98% sure I'm coming, but doubt I could make it for 8-10ish. Could probably be there by 11 at a push though?
-
Dont know when we'll be there, but its looking like MDV +2
I'll see what gear fits in the car with all of us there.
-
Time do people intend to be there until? Trying to look at trains and work out whether I'd be there long enough to make traveling worthwhile.
-
Couldnt say, since I'd have to speak for 3 of us, but I'm for pretty much as long as practicable. Early - mid evening I suppose.
-
Might even take in Dave's gig on the night is anyone else going ?
Sorry folks - forgot to update this thread. That gig's now been cancelled :(
-
It's open until 5pm on a Saturday. As I've said we've got it all day. I'll be there earlyish as I want to blast my stuff at a volume that I can't do at home. ;)
I'll be going to Dave's and Martin's gig in the evening as I want to see if they've gotten any better at dodging pint glasses.
-

That's a shame - I was thinking about staying into the evening and coming along.

You must have updated whilst I had the page open. I'm going to throw bottles at you anyway.
-
You can add my agile 8 string to the list :D
-
Do we have a seperate room for the 7 and 8 string shredding crew :lol:
I really don't understand anything with more than 6 strings (apart from a 12 string) :)
-
Do we have a seperate room for the 7 and 8 string shredding crew
The acoustics in the WC are fantastic.

And I'll sneak past the WC 7 and 8 string segregation process with my detuned 6 strings...
There is no escape from the br00talz MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
-
I'll probably be bringing my Jap Tokai Love Rock with Rebel Yells, unless I can get the machine heads for the Eggle sorted intime.
Does this place have parking btw?

Yep
-
I've got a gig this night now, which is a wee shame. One day!
-
Shobet - you''ll need to update my gear list as I've now sold my Orion.
I'll bring my:
XTC Classic and 2x12 with Golds
Richardson SCR
Richardson SGR
Fano JM6
We didn't seem to have any P90s, hence bringing the Fano.
-
You could also update mine slightly. The Baja now has Blackguard Flat 50s.
-
I've updated the first post with the new details. Just a reminder there's a link to google maps for detailing the location of the studio. I've also put a second link to google maps with directions from the train station to the place. It's a bit of a long way around as google seems to ignore some of the more direct routes but print the map out figure it out, it's not hard.
I'll repeat there's plenty of off road parking at the place.
-

Yep
Thanks!
I'll hopefully have the new machineheads on the PRS by then, so if I have I'll bring that too as I don't think the Abraxas are that popular?
I was trying to bring hot rodded 80s strat with Floyd and VHIIs but it won't be finished intime :(
I'm looking forward to hearing my QR through a decent cab with some better speakers than what I have :lol:
-
Juansolo will also be bringing a whole pile of FX pedals, which have been added to the original post. :)
-
Write me in for +2 and I'll definitely bring the Legra Aurora and MDV602
May as well let them out from my defcon level one million guard for a breather among fellow good-guitar-respecting guitarists!
I'll bring the roadstar as well. Not sure about amps, as I'd feel compelled to bring the Ubercab as well and theres the space in the car with 3 big ugly metal bar-stewards to consider.
-
Oh, the pickup set up on the legras
Aurora - Aftermath, Holy Diver
MDV602 - Aftermath, Painkiller
-
Will bring my pedal board as well, which currently contains:
Planet Waves Tuner
Xotic EP booster
OCD v4
Lehle switcher
MXR Carbon Copy
Boss DD3
-
Updated gear list for Saturday based on what I'll have time to build and sort out:
PRS CU22 with Abraxas
Jap Tokai Love Rock Custom with Rebel Yells
Roger Giffin/Fender Strat with Cold Sweat
Splawn Quick Rod head
Quite looking forward to it now! 8)
-
put me down as a possible. i'd love to try some of those pedals! :)
-

You guys going to be cool plugging them into your gear or do I need to bring my ickle Blackstar? I feel it's 5W might be a little swamped in the company of some of the gear being taken however!
-
Yep fine with me for my stuff. I'll have a pile of my pedals there as well.
-
I'm happy for people to use my XTC and 2x12 for pedals etc.
I'm still tweaking it to find the best settings, so you may find them for me! :lol:
-
I'll also bring my small board with me too which has on it:
Tonerider American Overdrive
Tonerider SuperLush Chorus
Tonerider British Distortion
Rothwell F1 Boost
Korg Pitchblack tuner
-
I'm starting to look forward to this now!
-
Rain is forecast now for Saturday in London, which makes it more likely I'll come.
I know you'll be there 'all day' what what time range is that? Would be good to have something a little more concrete :) i don't want to show up and you've all gone home or whatever.
if I do come, which guitar shall i bring - any special requests?

the slow gear and gameboy pedal are ones i'm especially keen to try
-
I'll be there from about 10am until they chuck us out at 5ish I believe.
-
I was planning to surprise you all and gatecrash this bash but as it turns out I'm moving house on saturday so it's not going to happen.
So yeah, what I'm saying is I didn't say I was going to come but I would have done but I'm not going to. Have a good time with it and I'll make the next one.

I have a similar story :lol:
In fact I nearly contacted Gwem the other day to see what train he was on... but now it turns out there are filial duties to be performed and this weekend seems to be it.
Hope you Northerners have as good a time as we did in Croydon a while back :D
-

The SG is really strange to use, it requires a very careful and unnatural playing style to get the most out of it. It does sound good though.
Gameboy effect is just insane, it has no use whatsoever, but is fun.

I still think it'd be great installed in an old knackered wah pedal operating the 'shine' knob. *rubs chin.... searches ebay*.
But it's not as insane or uncontrollable as the Elunium. That thing really is completely bonkers.
-

I have an old knackered 'wau wau machine' pedal if you want to experiment and then send it to me :)
-
just looked at street view on google, when we get in the building is it going to be obvious where to go?
-
Yes
-
Doesnt look like I'll be able to make it :(
-
Scratch that, looks like I am :)

Ooooh, certainly could. It would be quite bizarre.
I like bizarre.
I should be there 11ish, I'm stopping off en-route to pick up Marauder.

Really looking forward to trying this out through my Bogner mate - I'm interested to see how it compares to my SCR...

I wasn't actually going to bring this now Dave :?
It's strings are buggered and (I'm ashamed to admit it) but I can't work it's style of locking machine heads out so I can't change the strings on it until I replace them :lol:
I'll keep the MIDI switcher for the Splawn at home and bring the Eggle instead though, it just won't be at it's best! :D
-
I'll be there for 11 too if I don't over sleep
-
Cheers Craig, much appreciated!
I'll be there around 10:30 - 11ish...
-
We'll I'm off to grab some brekky in the form of an Egg McMuffin so I'll see you all there later.
-
sorry i didn't make it gents.. when i woke up the sun was shining bright, so i made a chance of plan and did my motorbike/scooter CBT training instead.
hope you guys had a brilliant day!
-
CBT? (http://tiny.cc/z8aox) NSFW by a mile and a half.
-
Great to see you all today - cheers folks!
Things about guitar gear that I've learnt today:
* My 2x12 cab sounds great with different amps
* I like Splawn Quick Rods. Lots.
* 8 string guitars have FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT necks
* Juansolo builds some mighty fine gee-tar effects 8)
* But don't let him and shobet breed their pedals. Chaos ensures!
Other notes:
* La Grange is officially the most played song. Ever.
* Lots of men in a hot room sweat buckets
* I know nothing about modern metal music..........
Thanks again guys, here's to the next one!
-
Firstly, thank you all for turning up. I hope you all had a good a time as I did.
Anyway here we go some crime scene pictures.
I'm now officially deaf

Cheers for organising things mate!
-
Top, top day. Great to meet everyone.
-
Fun times!
Yeah, was good to meet people. Some great gear, people and players.
Ahhhh, the moogerfooger + other thing = very silly formula. I believe we proved it pretty conclusively.
The electra kicked rather a bit of arse as well. Very promising indeed.

Cheers for organising today Shobet, had a good day!
I'm rubbish with names but 'think' I can remember who you all are by user name on here!
The neck on that 8 String wasn't overly fat, but it was very wide! Surprising easy to play too I found, even though I have got small womans hands! :lol:
-
The 8 string taught me my limits in the ever increasing number of strings
6 = PLENTY for me to be getting on with
7 = No extra trouble, but its not for me, thanks, 6 is trouble enough
8 = WTF?
Each to their own though, of course.

I have got small womans hands! :lol:
I'll wager those dainty pinkies never weighed anchor in a storm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIF6pneS4ro)

True, they haven't! I haven't got a womans purse though! :lol:
-
Yeah, good to meet everybody. Some nice guitars, amps and pedals there today. And plenty of like minded geeks!
The Elunium PU36 Explosive Space Modulator into the MuRF was a particular highlight. They really let the player and instrument shine through!
Ears still ringing :D

Ears still ringing and people saying they're deaf from it being so loud?! :roll:
Pffffffft :lol:

Pardon?

A great day yesterday. I definately don't want a Murf, but Juansolo does!
-
Looks like you had a great day. I was at home doing some hand sanding on my tele body build. I'd rather have been in Manchester though!
-
Shobets modded Marshall (think it was a Super Bass?) sounded awesome too!
I thought I had a large collection of pedals but both Shobet and JuanSolo put me to shame quite badly! :lol:
-
Ahh, my old 1970/71 Super Bass 100W head, lovingly brought back to life by Martin at MJW and changed to Super Lead specifications. Here is Death Box in all her glory, however I should have called hear DEAF Box...

and yes, lots of pedals are a good thing, you can never have enough. :)
-
I kinda wanted to hear that in full force. A plexi going nuts is like rock Mecca. But was late in the day and a glipse of its power was really quite enough.
I also learned some stuff about ribbon cable
:oops:
-
haha. what did you learn?

Dont get too excited!
I just had a short chat with martin about them. He contends that they're a fundamentally unreliable form of connection that $%&# with amp layout/signal routing and as a consequence performance pretty much universally, regardless of whether they're used intelligently or not.
Whether thats automatically a totally bad thing or not is open to debate/subjectivity (see the stuff written under yoda to the left). I still maintain that they cant be all bad and may be appropriate, purely on the logic that many amps that use them sound great. Knowing that there is ribbon cable inside my powerball, for example, isnt going to make me like the sound any less, nor will it remove, say, the 5150 from being used so successfully on so many recordings, but theres a good case to be made. Ask martin if you want more details. Suffice to say, I'm all up for learning stuff that goes against whatever I currently think, martin gave me quite a bit on this matter to think about and I've come to think at least a little differently about the use of ribbon cable.
-
I'd go with Yoda mate. There's ribbon cable in my XTC and I don't give a monkey's! :lol:
-
replace it with a few SATA cables, sorted! ;)
-
Bloody hell Dave, that hair's grown!
(Makes me wonder if I should go for the "short fat Jerry Cantrell" look again, while I still can....)
-
:lol:
It's the Grohl/Robinson look mate - rock and roll ;)
-
Looks COOOL.
No clips/vids at all? :(
-
'Fraid not Hunter. We couldn't have had one thing going at a time ever if we'd tried to! :lol:

Talking about having more than one thing going at once, The MuRF has given me all sorts of ideas to build an uber noise machine. Drop in a bit of elunium (general pointless noise machine) into a Ooohwah (seems like a fairly pointless sequencer) into an echobase (which is capable of pointlessness when pushed to it's extremes). All of which can do some wonderful things on their own... It could be epic...
-
Ooohwah (seems like a fairly pointless sequencer)
Indeed it is - I've owned a few of these in the past few years. They sound very nice but don't really have much musical use. I'm actually not sure why I keep buying them! I think I've bought and sold 3.

Oh dear, I think I've just made a mess in my pants.
