*cough*

I'm going and carrying my original '59 Les Paul

(just kidding :lol:)

[Brow]

I'll be coming along, for the afternoon stuff atleast :)

I won't bring an amp, but have no issues in bringing any guitars. Am looking forward to trying some Martamps, as am thinking of ordering an Orion! Also have pedalboards etc I could bring if wanted.

I'm willing to bring whatever people want to try/hear, either because of the guitar or the pickup in it. So feel free to shout up what you want me to bring from the following:

Gibby LP Standard - AIV Mules
Tokai LoveRock Custom - Rebel Yells
Gordon Smith Graduate 60 - Black Dog (b) / Riff Raff (n)

Homebuilt Strat - Cold Sweat
Homebuilt Strat - Mothers Milks
Fender Strat - Crawler/Irish Tour/Irish Tour
Jap Squier Strat - Apaches
Fender Strat w/Floyd - VH2s

Cheapie 'Broadcaster' - Piledriver
Homebuilt Tele - Black Guards

Ibie S470 - Nailbombs with a Trilogy
Patrick Eggle Prototype - hopefully have its HolyDivers  :lol:
PRS Custom 22 - Abraxas'
Gibson Faded Flying V - Riff Raff (b) / MQ (n)

Love Rock with Rebel Yells please!  :)

[Johnny Mac]

I'd love a go on your VHII Strat brow, i really want it!  :D

Dave, which Feline Lion did you get?

[WezV]

i am tempted still but need to see how the month goes, xmas hols are always unproductive for me so i feel weekends are needed for other stuff at the moment... i may be over that by feb ;)

if i do train it will be one guitar

if someone can come through burton (or close enough by that i can get a lift/train to a meet point) on the way up north i can do more ;)

[JDC]

can I try the ibanez with the nailbomb, thanks :)

[gwEm]

looking good for me coming to this. not 100% confirmed of course, but i'll very very likely come. any other londoners up for it?

edit: i think guitar wise I shall bring my strat, if its ready, or if not a steinberger for the curiosity value.

If you can get a train to Matlock, then I could pick you up on the way :)

[WezV]

thanks brow, i have looked into all the options  and it seems like going matlock first might be a bit more of a faff than i anticipated.  Either 3 seperate buses or two trains and approximatly 1 1/2 hours... in reality its not going to be the best idea for me since a train to manc is only 2 hours with 1 change.  unfortunately my girlfirend isnt going for the idea of driving me to matlock  like i hoped she might, i was thinking of it as a 1/2 hour drive but in reality its closer to an hour


anyway, cant confirm anything yet but i may do the train with just 1 guitar (possibly the junior since i have it till march)

[Twinfan]

Go on, bring the Junior!  I'd love to see it  ;)

I have a funny feeling that guitar belongs to PhilKing......

[Roobubba]

I had hoped to come to this, but I'm afraid I'm not available that weekend :( Otherwise I'd have given Wez a lift on the way, too. :(

Hope it goes well!

damn roo - that would have been a great plan!

junior... philking... whatever gave you that idea!!!  Was it the sudden access to vintage parts or the fact someone based in the UK wouldnt let me keep it till march ;)

I knew he'd got you the logos, likes the odd UK custom build, the offer of old parts, the March wait, plus the fact you'd got photos of his custom Jazz bass.  It all fell into place  ;)

Twinfan nailed it with a 30 pounds sledge hammer :D

Wez - I may well be able to pick you up. PM me your postcode and I'll see how far out of my way it is. I'll be in a (new) mini though so guitar space may have to be limited to two (I'll be bringing one).

Cheers,

Ian.
