It's still serving you well, I trust? :)

It doesn't get much use tbh - my TCE combo suffices for most stuff but it's nice to have a bigger rig available if I need it. I may have to bring it along just to blow out the cobwebs!

I wouldn't miss this for the world. It's a brilliant day out. I'll be bringing some LFSys cabs for people to try out - probably also some new ones that I'm currently working on.

 

My current gigging gear is a Squier Classic Vibe Precision and a Veyron head. So they'll probably be coming as well.

In case anyone still needs convincing... this was the lunch table 2 years ago. 😋

Hmm, maybe it might be worth my while to drive all night nearly the length of the country for a spread like this... ;)

You'd be setting a new distance record, but I think you would be surprised how far some folks are prepared to travel for this!

The distance really doesn't bother me (you don't live in Aberdeen for your entire adult life if you're bothered about having to go places sometimes to get stuff done), it's just time and safety.  If I didn't have the gig the night before, I'd probably travel down the day before, take my time, stay over somewhere nearby then toddle over on the day.

If you fancy it next year, I have a spare bed you're welcome to.

Although it's a long haul from Falmouth I will try and get there this year.

 

No idea what to bring however.  By the look of it I think just a good appetite.

If you still have the Sadowsky in your signature, I for one would definitely be interested in seeing it. Would be good to see you with or without bass though.

It's a Metro HPJ. I can certainly bring it.  I used to also have a UV70 but I traded it last year.

What, like sea bass? God, the food just keeps getting better.

 

Cod, it certainly does! It's part of the latest sea-food diet... 'see food and eat it!' (darn, the second half of the joke doesn't work when you write it down).
