How does Sat 7th of September sound for people? 

Handsome_Chris

@RobDavies , I believe that Brentford are at Bradford that day.

octatonic

Sounds good to me.

Clarky

count me in.. well... in-ish right now..

assuming that I'm not in Spain visiting mi familia [madre, padre, hermana y ella familia blah blah etheth etheth etc etc]

Danny1969

I'm well up for it but I'm gigging in London on the 7th which probably means I'll need to get going from Portsmouth by 5 ish . Not sure how long these things go on for ?

chrispy108

Yeah probably up for it

Handsome_Chris

I've booked the studio for Saturday 7th of September. Who is bringing what?  Personally speaking, I never get tired of Clarky's Vs, and I need to have a closer look at @Sporky 's guitars.

, @Bluewolf, @thereformant, @Fez, @bob21, @RobDavies

Fez

Sorry I will have to dip out this time as I can't do the 7th. Have a good one.

PolarityMan

I'll have to double check if I can make it, unfortunately my wife's head doesn't sync it's appointments with my calendar. Assuming I can I can bring a JVM, boss GT-10, maybe recording gear if your interested. 

How does this kinda thing usually work, is it just a get together to tinker with stuff or do you play together in a band format or what?

Handsome_Chris

It's just a look and play with other peoples gear, and maybe a muscle out over who's the loudest. Bring whatever you like.  You can talk about your stuff too - People like that.

As I'm an Axe-FX II person, it's interestint to meet people who use 'real' gear.

RobDavies

Certainly be interested in putting some faces to names and chewin' the fat for a few hours.

If people have Axe-fx and the like, then my Digitech/Marshall gear is gonna pale into insignificance....

not necessarily so, my friend.  There is no reason why the two can't live together, in perfect harmony.

bob21

I'm game for the 7th Sept.. Will probably be coming on the train, so can't bring ampage, but can probably bring a couple guitars including a CS Tele.. 

Very interested to have a play on your Axe @Handsome_Chris!

Handsome_Chris

I'll also be bringing one of those Gibson's that everyone hates - The Dusk Tiger.

Sporky

Darn it - if that'd been a Dark Fire I'd have brought my stealin' shoes.

Though I would love to try a Dusk Tiger.

I think I'm on holiday that week. Not that that makes much difference. I shall likely be there.

Handsome_Chris

It is my current 'go to guitar'. I'm glad that Gibson made such a useful yet unpopular guitar.
