Just got back from the LGS. I forgot how loud it is in these shows! I don't how the exhibitors do it for 3 days.
It was good to meet Afghan Dave, Bucketshred and see Ben, Phil and Davey again. Tim and Jonathon too.
I had a go on those new PG Blues pickups which sound really nice, plus some new tele ones and the Painkillers.
Davey, Bruce Dickensons son was playing your Charvel with the Warpig in and he said it sounds nice but there a bit too expensive! A millionaire rock star dad and there still too expensive?? :? :lol:
Lmao!
You saw Austin?
I was standing less than a meter from you then :P
We had a fun time - It was ace, specially since Nikko got us all backstage passes to see Steve Vai etc, (who gave the most unhelpful response to my friend's question about what piece he should audition for berkley - Steve answered "Whatever you feel comfortable playing" - Thanks Mr Vai.)
Talking of Steve Vai - Pin told me that he'd been a premadona saying that he wouldn't come because he had a brown sofa instead of a black one - And whining about his shoes not being the same colour as the stool.
Cool to see Ben, Phil, Tim, Jonathan etc, - Sorry for not saying hi to the first 3 - But hey Jonathan :>
Talking about the Charvel - We loved it so much that my friend Ben came back 3 times to shred a bit more on it :P
PS: Bruce isn't stingy - He just doesn't spoil his kids - Although he likes to spoil himself and bought himself a lurvley acoustic.
PS2: Bought myself an Ibanez RG42DX in Blue - Flamed maple top, neck through, Edge Pro bridge and suprisingly good stock pickups - THEY SCREAM - Even the Neck pickup squeals pinches :D - Although ofc, bare knuckles will go in there as soon as I have the cash.
PS3: If you saw Ben - nuts shredder guy on the Charvel he's in a band with Austin Dickinson -
