Karma is still good then.
Hoping to tempt some of you along to the Bristol jam on 8th June, which like Water Rats, we hope to make an annual thing.

Highlights for me are numerous. @peteri 's stash generally was a delight to behold, but the 54 gold top made me think very hard about how much I would get if I put my daughters up for sale on the Darkweb...
Then there was the 69 Plexi brought in by the chap whose name I've completely forgotten. That thing was monstrous. I sat in front of it, unattentuated and dimed and let rip. It melted my face. In fact Mrs McToot commented on my return how my wrinkled face seemed somehow smoother...
The 12-string Tele partscaster was also really interesting.
I was bouncing when I got home. As my kids used to say when they were little: "Again, again, again!"

Also @mrkb volume boost gizmo was brilliant
I have sent back @customkits money today as unless he is very small or was hiding in @soma1975 marshall combo then he didn't show.
I paid the drummer with the rest meaning overall a loss of £4 which I have deducted from munckee jr's pocket money to teach her a lesson - kids need lessons.

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

That would explain the weight of it.
That 54 Les Paul was absurd. Bit scared of something that old to begin with but when you hit it with conviction it had a gorgeous bloom on the notes. I think it is genuinely worth the money it would cost to buy, it's that much better than my les paul standard.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.

EDIT: Although when I asked him what his regular stuff was he said amongst others - the Human League!

Once again you play beautifully. Not sure many of us would have kept up with you in a jam as it sounded like your guitar had more notes on it that 5 us lots' had!

And how many people played 11-52s without noticing it! I'll make men of you yet!
Would have loved to have heard the hand-built amps - next year must do more of that, but thanks to @Winny_Pooh agreed that Plexi was amazing, and much fuzzier than I expected.
My guitars will come and go to fund others (incoming 56 Esquire will take out some of them) but the memory of seeing people play and enjoy them will stay with me.
Thanks all, and I'd love to do this again in the summer maybe?

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone involved in this. Was a hoot; I had a great time, met some really nice peops and got to play through some ace gear.
The sessions were great fun and without masses of pressure - plenty of time to get sorted/settle and dial-in. I played bass for the first time ever after a week of practice so was really pleased. Can't say my timing was rock solid but it was better than I thought it would be - It's inspired me to put some time into learning how to play bass and maybe get some gigs in the future.
In no particular order just a couple of special mentions..
@peteri - thanks for letting me play though all of your stuff. Sort of dream come true.. was great to compare my '61 to your '64 Strat - similar look and feel but very different sound. Not better or worse, just different. The LP's were fab but the Goldtop was the one for me! Playing the SG into the 1959 hit the spot for a few classic sounds
@Winny_Pooh - great fun with the Marshall! Great playing and (surprisingly for me) I loved the PRS and the Musicman.. quite an eye opener. Looking forward to comparing my SL68 to your Plexi at some point
@springhead - good to compare the 5E3's and to hear the differences... proved without doubt that they are just killer amps..
And finally
@munckee - organising something like this is like herding cats.. you did good and it's appreciated.
Looking forward to the next one.
Si
@sev112 - Not surprised with all that dancing you were doing with that bass on your back! - a joy to watch, you were in your element!
Would definitely be up for another one this year - maybe late summer early autumn. Keep the numbers down too as it worked well with less people. Would be happy to pay more for the privilege to cover the costs
Edit: not really too fussed about he recording though. Might have been more fun running it through in a band environment a few times and then us all doing ‘the set’ at the end which we can record ourselves. So we are playing each other our gig. Or something.

I was surprised I was the only one with an acoustic, but as Fuengi Jr pointed out - "didn't you look at the song list?".
Would be up for an acoustic session, but our song choices were based on having an acoustic and lead part anyway and I think we'd go along those lines as they are great to learn together.
