BKP meet - London Sunday 23rd August - confirmed!

[Twinfan]

Gutted for you Will - sounds like a horrendous situation.

[Ian Price]

So.. am I actually excused now you lot have seen the pix? :P

Of course - and I think you are due a double dose of good luck now!

[FernandoDuarte]

Hope things get fine now Will, good luck :D


I won't be able to attend the meeting this time again :P
Perhaps next year...

[Ian Price]

Just re-strung the esquire and am very much looking forward to tomorrow.

[FELINEGUITARS]

I'm thinking of bringing my Korina V instead of Purple Ronnie as it has some VH2s in.
Just making a new scratchplate for it tonight , and swapping some hardware for tonepros versions as it was made before I started using the TP stuff.

[Oli]

Go for it Jon, i'm bringing a Charvel with a VH2 in the bridge, so it'd be cool to hear how a neck one performs :)

[gwEm]

vh2s all round then :)

[gwEm]

might bring my Cream Machine so people can try it.

[badgermark]

Phew that's me made it back home in one piece. Damn it was hot today.

Highlights included:

-Ahfgan dave with a silly grin while holding all a tele.
-Everyones faces when they put on my tele and it hit their knees, long straps ftw
-Philly shredding. No joke, with Dave's yellow BC Rich he was a machine. Fingers were blurring.
-Reliced 'Fenders'- me likee a lot. Dave's Fano was lovely and Ian's Esquire was stunning.
-The cream machine was far too loud and amazing for such a little box. I want one now.

Thanks fellas for making it a fun day and gwEm for 'organising' it. My ears are still ringing thanks to super Oli and his loudness.

Good to see Philly relaxing and playing :D
Have pics?

 :lol: :lol:

I think your ears were blurring too!!

Good day though.  Some lovely guitars, too many long straps.

[TheIronBeast]

Sounds like a great time was had.
Is there any pics from the meet?

[FELINEGUITARS]

Someone was taking pix I think
It was a good laugh - nothing too serious....

[gwEm]

don't worry theres a few pics of the meet, give us a chance ;)

so, my highlights... well its true phillyq knows some sweet metal licks thats for sure! boozing in the pub talking about law and metal was very fine. it seems i share alot with afgan dave in terms of guitar taste.

the guitars i wanted to go home with: my slowhand strat, badger's holydiver tele, and my jazzmaster build ;) 2/3 ain't bad ;)

was very happy to see so many friendly faces, and i hope the people who travelled so far found it worth while - regret not having beer with twinfan and ian.. though they seemed surely well pleased about trying some stuff out and getting ideas for their rigs. also happy to see rack fiends feline and oli saying 'your 20/20 poweramps not the sh1t, but its not sh1t either'.

i can see a third london meet, and then after that, who knows!

my big learnings from the meet - ada mp1 really good, don't wear too long guitar strap, be careful of squier jv, and award session jd not too shabby!

[gwEm]

nothing too serious....

next time jonathan - you and me, schenker licks at 50 paces  :D
