    Is anybody bringing anything with P90s?
    Yes.  (LP Special, with Wolfetone Mean & Meaner.)

    … the roles previously taken by Vibetronic … any takers?
    Can't help you there, sorry. 

    Some of the songs scheduled to be performed by Vibetronic, I have never heard. Those of them that I have heard at some point in the past, I do not know how to play.

    Do we know who's bringing what and is everyone happy to share?
    Promotional videos for That's Entertainment and Just What I Needed show RIC and 'Ray, respectively. So, I shall probably bring a Warwick or a Fender Jazz out of devilment.

    Is anything on the set list fretless?

    Guitar-wise, something random. (Probably something that I hope to sell! :yum: )

    Is anybody bringing anything with P90s?
    I could bring my new special if I manage to put it back together before the weekend. Still undecided about swapping the pickups over

    Got this reverend with a faux 90 in the bridge, sounds somewhere between a Tele bridge and a P90 to me. Could bring it along if anyone is interested in it. I'm a bit clumsy on Fender size necks

    Don't sweat it. If I'm that concerned about having P90s, I shall have to bring something of my own. 
    Be seeing you.

    I was planning to bring a bass head, but I'd be happy to bring along a cab for it too.
    Thanks. Seems like we have the gear angle well and truly covered. Let's not forget that we need to try and fill the roles that Vibetronic was down for  
    a few thoughts based on the running order that @mart put together (which you can find at the top of page 20), motivated by doing all we can to retain the setlist as it is:

    • Priority tracks seem to be Under The Bridge, Johnny B. Goode and Is She Really Going Out With Him on which only Vibetronic is down to play guitar
    • Easy fixes may be available on Keep Your Hands To Yourself (@bobblehat is down for vox and has mentioned that he likes to play guitar on the tracks he sings) and Cold Hard Bitch which @nickos236 and @stratman3142 know as they are down to provide vox and bass respectively
    • That leaves us with needing to fill lead guitar duties for You Give Love and You Really Got Me 
    Please do step forward with specific offers, and don't worry about putting yourself forward for lots of roles, as these things usually find their own balance in the end

    @Brocco I think @spark240 is down for rhythm guitar on one run through of 'Is She Really Going Out With Him'. So I think guitar is covered on that one.

    I could do lead on You Give Love and You Really Got Me but it might be better to give someone else a go,  as I'm already down for lead on a couple already.
    It's not a competition.

    About 3/4 full.  Enough to get to Bristol and back.

    Also, just to squeeze in a second elephant - the dreaded C-word.  I'm assuming we're all double-jabbed, doing regular LFTs, etc.?   What's the latest policy from Factory on all this?  Particularly thinking of vocalists sharing the mic.

    I can play guitar on You Really Got Me. Not anything like @Vibetronic though, I'm still reeling from that years later. Could quite happily drop Johnny B Goode

    I've dropped JbG and the 2nd Is She Really, so that just leaves gaps on Under the Bitch and Cold Hard Bridge.

    @stratman3142 this also leaves you playing 4 songs in a row at the end - are you ok with that, or do you want us to try and swap things round to avoid that?

    I could do You Give Love a Bad Name too. I am not down for much. Anyone up for guitar on Under the Bridge? I got the bass line ready. It's very pretty

    Ok, I've put you down for guitar on the 2nd run of You Give Love, which gives @stratman3142 a break. 
    I had a quick look at Under, but I don't think I can nail that in the time available.

    thought re Under The Bridge - @Jonathangus is down for vox but may also know the guitar part? Perhaps a switch to guitar if we could find someone else to sing the track (assuming Jonathan is not wedded to the vocal part)?

    regarding Cold Hard Bitch, @stratman3142 knows the second guitar part but is currently down to play bass. We could similarly solve this one by Stratman moving to guitar (assuming he is happy to do so) if we can find a volunteer to play bass?

    I think I could get through Under The Bridge if you really want to do it, but it might have to be my interpretation and perhaps a bit strummy compared to John Frusciante. I'll give it a go, provided I can have a veto on any recording if it doesn't go well

    It's not a competition.

    @stratman3142 nice one

    I feel like there would be better participation in the two that I am down to sing and play if someone else would like to do the singing or playing. These are you really got me and Richard iii at the moment. I'd like to give Richard iii a belt down the mic

    Nothing wrong with strummy.  Strummy good.

    I'm definitely up for guitar on You Really Got Me, especially if we do it a bit Van Halen. That's more in my comfort zone.

    I've just noticed @Brocco is down for rhythm guitar on You Really Got Me, so does that mean you wouldn't need to sing and play lead guitar at the same time? If so, I can stay out of that one.

    Also, as far as I can tell, there's really only one guitar on Richard III and @Jonathangus is already down for lead, so does that mean you're covered for that one as well.
