So this is just a week Away now! trying to figure out what to bring.
I’ll definitely bring my new 6G6B bassman clone and the red SG.
The Tele sounds particularly good through the bassman so might bring that too. Anyone want to hear the jubilee?
I might bring one head and thinking the Jubilee, unless someone wants to hear something else?

Yes, bring all those things! I'll bring my 1987x (assuming it still works) and it'll get its first chance to make loud noises for a few years.

Next time around it'd be interesting to compare your original Jubilee with my reissue.
