High Wycombe Gearfest!! 18th November at Weststar Studios

Guys if we where to do this again what should we do differently? 

I'd suggest maybe having two rooms as the wall of sound got a bit much at times for me.

We'd ask about parking before someone padlocked the car park i had driven into.

I think 2 rooms is a good idea.

Thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all and talking gear and playing. I think it was @sev112 who said "it's amazing how different everyone sounds playing the same gear.". Tone is in the fingers for sure. 

FFS where did I park my truck? Definitely no flannel next time

Maybe we could all play together. I think we managed it for about 5 mins today

Seriously though, great day! Thanks @Neilybob ;

TheMarlin

You know, I don’t actually possess a plaid shirt. 

But, I’d buy one for the next time we do this. 

Thanks @Neilybob i really appreciate you organising the event, i really enjoyed it. 

Sorry I was late, and for the amp stress, but got there in the end. 

You all made that baritone sound phenomenal!!

Agreed.  It turned into a bit of a mush after a while.

Excellent day, though.  Thanks for organising @Neilybob !

Winny_Pooh

Thanks all and to Neil for pulling it together. It was raucous fun. I loved hearing the SV20 & sonus fuzz, that cool smallbox Marshall as well as playing the ES195, T-armond tele, destroyer and lots of other cool guitars.

I hope you called each other by your usernames all day, rather than 'proper' names?

soma1975

Well can't get my car back today. Will pop over in the morning and hassle them.

I think it's payback for having a naughty word on his t-shirt

sev112

Gents thanks for letting me play on all your gear.

Loved them all, but particularly @Winny_Pooh 's  Gretsch which was absolutely delightful to play fingerstyle on, then Winnie playing his jazzy stuff, then Soma playing rocky stuff - what a versatile and beautiful guitar ! 

Really also loved @Neilybob 's Burny SG into @Jonathangus ' Marshall stack.    
(And then hearing the same guitar through @Winny_Pooh 's Carr amp)

But everyone brought something fun and quality, especially @lovestrat74 's works and that Tele which should be left handed given the fabulous textures and colours on the back

Fab to meet some new people, and a few that we met before.  Hopefully more of these to come 

Thanks for organising @Neilybob , who it turns out lives <4km from me !  

soma1975

Yeah I wasn't expecting that from the Gretsch to be honest. 

Big shout out to the Vintage VS6 as well, which if I am totally honest I genuinely preferred the sound and feel of in my rig over the Murphy Lab R6. 

I see why @TheMarlin enjoys it so much.

That's not me. That's @Neilybob. My 'f*ck Telecaster's top was hidden by my shirt.
