So i finally got round to downloading picture from my camera.

It was a good show this year, much better than last year, it was terrible.

The highlight for me though was the Bareknuckle stand. I always enjoy going there. This year i played with Tims Feline Explorer (look on www.felineguitars.com to see the picture of it). Jonathan done an awesome job with that guitar, it was the most comfortable explorer i've played. Great fret work and great tone from it (a set of Painkillers). Plugged into a Boss SD-1 through Tim's Zakk Wylde JCM800's. I've loved the tone of those things when i first heard them and still do now. Here's a picture of part of the stand

Whilst playing i was sat next to Pin from Sikth (didn't even realise it was him till he turned round, he seemed to like the tone i was getting)

Here's a picture of him with Diezels and Blackmachine

After buying a Painkiller from Tim i went over to the Peavey stand to watch the Sikth guys play a couple of songs. They sounded awesome! incredibly tight

Here's a picture of Pin's righ (Dan Wellers was the same but he was using PRS')

I popped by the Cornford stand too, to pick up Guthrie Govans new CD. It's a fantastic CD, one of my favourite instrumentals with Shawn Lanes Power Of Ten and Vai's Passion And Warfare. Johnny Hiland was about too but i didn't get to see him play unfortunatly.

It has a set of Holy Divers. That's the guitar that made me buy Holy Divers for my own RG.

I'm still hoping for some soundclips of that Explorer.

Interesting. I like the sound of the HD's- they're a bit too like what I already have in my current RG, though.

Whenever I get the other guitars that I'm after first, though, I'll probably get an HD (or two)...

I went there too it was a good show indeed!

I have to say that the diesel amp sounded amazing really good tone even at lower volumes Its going at the top of my "stuff to buy which I really can't afford" list

I was there with some guitars to sell at a stand behing Tim's. My cousin decided we should get a picture of Tim with one of our guitars since it has a set of engraved nailbombs in it!

I decided to hide behind the headstock :D

We also decided to do the celebrity tour, here we are with Jim Marshall:

And here is Paul Reed Smith playing my bass:

I didnt shove it in his hands - he asked me to fetch a guitar after he saw my T-shirt. I think he liked it, he said some encouraging things.

This was Tim's stall when we were there on the saturday, i really like the Foster LP:

btw, is that grille cloth on Tims cabs the same colour as on bluesbreaker cabs? Looks it to me.. I may have to get me some of that for my 2x12!
