To be honest I'm glad that it'll be mostly quieter. Don't get me wrong I love a loud valve amp at full tilt, but just don't like 20 valve amps all at full tilt with 20 different discordant tunes playing.

I'm going to try and check this one out

I'm glad that some restraint has been brought in regarding noise levels - It is hard to have a decent conversation with anyone about anything with a perpetual level of gain rammed down your throat - Granted far harder for amp/pedal builders to demonstrate in such noise free conditions, but trying an electric guitar need not be that loud for so long

Absolutely. At the Olympia show I was mostly looking forward to trying an Atkin guitar or two. I held one, sat down to play it, but couldn't hear anything. Could barely hear the rep.

Looking forward to this one. I'll be there with my usual lineup of PR18, Tweed Vee, Hawker, and Plexi 18.

I'm also going to be offering free valve testing during the quiet periods, just bring along your spares and we'll put them on my tester and see how they perform.

See you then!

And just a few pickups.
And probably whatever bits and bobs I can rustle together to round out the table.

Going to be fun to finally be on the other side of the tables.

See you all there!

ATB_Guitars · October 2018

We’ll be there with a selection of 55 vintage guitars (some of which are pictured below) plus 2 PRS.

No matter what your thoughts on vintage guitars or us are, we would more than welcome any forum members who can pop in, say hello and have a look, touch, feel, smell or play some of the rare items we will be bringing to the show. Even if it's just to chat about guitars, you would be most welcome.

See you on Sunday!

@ATB_Guitars - I see you've hidden the chocolates again, Mike.

Yes not many left now Dave!

I can see me having to bring my own next time. This is not good.

IvisonGuitars · October 2018

I shall be there with Ivison Guitars. Very much looking forward to it!

Which station is it for the show , and how far is the walk from the station. Is it actually Kempton Park?

If so Google says 18 minute walk which seems quite a way (unless they are being a bit conservative)

You trip off the station into kempton racecourse car park. Then, if you can manage it, it’s a near straight 400 yard walk to the entrance.

Should have said Kempton Park Station.

I've just found out that my mate, Pete, will have a stand there - Clear Sound Music UK.
Looks like he'll be demoing Red Sound speakers, which appear to be lightweight FFFRs for modellers. He, himself is a Kemper user.

Pop by and say ''Hi' and say Cos told you about these. It's a shame I can't make it but I hope it's a good one for everyone.

I was more concerned for the state of me Barnet - it's windy out there today - lol

Really looking forward to this. Especially looking forward to seeing @ATB_Guitars amazing collection, @IvisonGuitars (after following several of the build threads) and @guitars4you.

Howdy, Stranger!
