One of the nicer gearfests this was. Right balance between people, noise and space and some cool gear around. The loud room was used for talking so that was a bonus :)

Nine hour round trip for me but well worth it (apart from the potential speeding ticket :oops: ). I think Gibson won this time, closely followed by "fender bender".

First time I heard the Katana's, both head and combo and I must say, Dave, Nick and others got some mighty nice noise coming out of them.

The Quilter (?) was an eye opener too. Sounded phantastic!

Another highlight for me was Grant playing my 6 coil pickups on the Katana. Wow!

Thanks to Grant and Simon :thumbup:

Sorry, can' get the 3 pics I took off the mobile... but others were taking a few.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
