Ditto. Booked for dad duty at the Botanical Gardens this Saturday.

Looks to be many fine, tasteful guitars in attendance. Which would be a good opportunity to bring some distasteful ones.

Ha I've played in front of some big crowds in my time and while I used to always get the nervous anticipation jitters, nothing is like standing in front of your amp, in a room full of guitarists, some of whom you know very well, trying to play something without fecking it up... :mental:
that's why I talk fast and mumble then go 'widdly widdly bam' and pass it on to the next one :rofl:

Playing? Ah shit. I got a new golf trundler today, munched my fingers trying to open it. Someone else will have to do the playing.

Enjoy it lads. Better photo's than JBs please!

As it happens, that cab has become part my son’s rig. He has the Hallmark Mosrite, Quilter Mini 101 and that VHT cab.

Could be interested in the custom - bring it along!
