Think i might bring the new Klipp/Plexi Superlead, and maybe my Charvel (what model is yours MrBump?), i'm just about to order a VHII for it, so i should have time for it arrive and get it installed.

Mines an ST Custom, very stratty but with a new scratchplate and 2 Nailbombs. 

Lovely guitar, even better since Jonathan set it up nicely for me.

Great :) Mine is a Model 4, so at least we won't have 2 of the same guitar there then! I'd like to try out it with the nailbombs- the NB that i have in the bridge of a guitar just doesn't really do it for me, but it could be the guitar.

Have you got a car Oli? If so fill it up with gear!  :lol:

I do, and it's an estate, so it's perfect for getting everything into... but the gearbox is on it's way out at the moment, haven't got 1st or 4th gears :( Trip to the garage is going to be expensive i think!

Get a second hand box from a scr@p yard, there a piece of piss to fit, just run your car up on some ramps and secure the rear wheels so it doesn't roll back. Take the prop out, unbolt the box and use a trolley jack to support the weight. Then do the same in reverse to fit the new one. Its about a mornings work, using a trusty Haynes manual.
What car is it? Anyway you'll make it to the studio but your clutch will start to wear quicker than usual.

I should be free. Looking much more likely now. Permission to bring a non BKP'd guitar :oops: ? There needs to be a Kahler rep!

It's a Golf- i've got the ol' Haynes for it, doesn't seem to be much more than what you said really :) I'll have a look into it, we've got ramps and a trolley jack, so it'd 'only' be a case of getting the right gearbox.

Will: I'd say bring it along! I for one would like to try the Kahler- i don't get on too well with the floyd on the Charvel that i'm bringing, so it'd be nice to try a Kahler to see if i prefer them :)

They're front wheel drive I think. Hmmm...I'd get the right box and just pay a mechanic to fit it for you. Very tricky buggers front wheel drives!

Toying with the idea of driving there, which would mean I could bring my 2x10 Sidewinders. I'm thinking they would provide some interest as not many have heard them, and 10 inch speakers would provide a difference?

On a related vehicle note, what's the parking like at this place?

The place for the meet is dangerously close to V&R. Only 3.48 miles apart - this could be bad!
I think I hate being indecisive.

I'm guessing Vintage & Rare... almost the only shop worth going in anymore!

btw, could you bring your Koch Loadbox along? I'd be interested in hearing how it sounds; my degree thesis is based on attenuators and direct recording, so it'd be handy :)

Oh that V&R! Well as the crow flys it's not far but in terms of driving a lot of traffic jams so don't worry!

 It was already on the bring along list Oli. Sounds like I can learn some things from you!

I'm really looking forward to this meet!

 :D

You can stick me down for available, at the moment. It is a Saturday and all so I don't think I'll have any trouble getting there.

I'll bring my infamous Indie along. And my camcorder too.

I HATE driving in London...
