Holidays....

Last post for 2010...
I was saving the last post for a special amplifier that I am waiting... Unfortunately the amp hasn't arrived yet so no Happy New GEAR for me.. And all thanks for our excellent service in Greek Customs!! My parcel took 5 days to come all over from US. So far so good. The following quote from tracking will tell the rest.....

Out of Foreign Customs, December 29, 2010, 1:27 pm, GREECE

Into Foreign Customs, December 07, 2010, 12:38 pm, GREECE

If my mathematics are correct that makes 22 to clear from Customs! Hell yeah \m/. BTW up to date (31/12) the notification to go get my amp from post office hasn't come yet..... Anyway just wanted to share this!
Here are some random pics just to justify the meaning for this post!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!!

GAS over Denmark street...

Not actually a "post your rig" topic, but some random pix from guitar stores in London...

naked cabs ready to roar!!

So you don't know if you like better your model T with 12" or 15" speakers ???
Do what mr Rot Gut did... Run two of them, one with a full stack of 12" and one with a full stack of 15"!!
In detail. What we have here:
1 Roland re-201 space echo
2 Sunn Model T (one red knob 2nd Gen. and one 1st Gen).
1 Sunn 4x12L (all original)
1 Emperor 4x12 (Eminence loaded) => it's a shame on how difficult is to find - bring one of these in Europe...
2 Acoustic 2x15" (all of them loaded with Peavey Black Widow 15) great speakers btw.


Thanks for your participation mr Rot Gut and we wait for your updates (once the grill cloth is done and a pic with your pedals = dod fx90, sanford and sonny bluebeard pedal, 2 rat, mxr phase 100, a green russian sovtek big muff pi etc :-D )
