I thought you were like 1m90 (think shall be 6' 4")

I bang my head on enough things as it is so I'm happy I'm not that tall!

Right guys - I've booked the train and I'm in  :D  Looks like I'm the only one doing both meets?

I can bring one guitar, which do you want?

And no, I'm not bringing the Modern Eagle........

I tip my hat Dave!  :D Good man!! Are you not packing all your gear on to a sack barrow?  :lol:

gwEm, I think we're gonna need a bigger boat!

i'll see what i can do about that tomorrow..

this threads taken a bit of a divert! so i'll write something about the last few days of bkp-related activities:

last sunday i hooked up with phil for a very tasty brunch and guitar chat!
last wednesday i boozed it up with denim'n'leather and had a pretty passionate discussion and a nice chat about priest
last friday i got back, and loaded a new EMG in my feline for the synthetic metal tone. played a gig in the evening with the feline (great axe!!) through my sansamp, sounds and plays just like i want it to, punchy as hell, and really smooth neck
yesterday popped by wez's place to pick my strat up - its well tasty now its been pimped to the max - special post about this at some stage. played a gig with it in the evening and i'm well pleased.

Is it going to stay that way then? I remember you were having a hard time finding the right pickup for that one. Had quite a large neck for a Feline too, nice guitar.

absolutely - emg 81/60 combo. completely inorganic, but after some experimenting its the only way to get that sound

edit: and its a great player, almost impossible to make a mistake, all the notes are really to hand

Any updates on scheduled events for the day?

Any group songs / jams I should learn?

Should I bring a bass?

Should I bring lubricant & a towel?

I need to know!

what about a guitar? which one?

last sunday i hooked up with phil for a very tasty brunch and guitar chat!
It went more like this:
Cajun Brunch (I got gwEm to try Catfish and Crawfish)
Guitar Bar in Hoboken where I had to pick up my repaired 1918 Washburn Parlour Guitar.  gwEm saw Hughes and Kettner Metal Shreder (which I had mentioned to him), and he tried it plugged into a pair of greenbacks in a BluesBreaker reissue.  I wanted to try an analog chorus too.  Anyway the end score was gwEm 0, me, Metal Shreder, Big Jam chorus, 2 sets of Elixir Acoustic strings, Steel for slide and the acoustic I came to collect!
Back to my place where we tube swapped the Metal Shredder and my Ceriatone JTM45.  Ceriatone now has one GE 12AX7, one Sylvania 12AX7 and Groove Tube 12AX7M phase inverter.  Metal Shredder has reissue Mullard and Tung Sol (I think)!
By now it was getting later and so we ordered sushi for dinner - more new tastes for gwEm.
When he left the snow storm was just starting (around 15-20 cm overnight).

I have to say the Metal Shredder sounds great in spite of its name,

That Metal Shredder is the bomb!

But I have to snigger each time I say the name of it out loud :)

Well I have my reasons. If anything changes I'll pop in randomly and I'll have my BKP shirt so you won't think I'm some random bloke.
