North of England 4005 owners club confluence

Post by leftyguitars »

A meeting of the UK chapter of the Rickenbacker 4005 owners club has just taken place (well Graham came to stay with us for the weekend).
Image
When looking at the photo please take into account that Graham and I were "working" Friday night (3am finish) and Saturday night (2am finish) and the photo was taken on Sunday morning.

Incidently, Graham has gone home totally knackered as I made him work hard (roadying) for his keep!

I bet the only thing "working" was your elbows, as you lifted each beer to your lips! Or were you guys out modelling the latest in fleecy evening attire? I see Graham's doing his Stanley Jordan impersonation again! Image

Okay, enough wise cracks from me. Very nice basses fellas. Glad to see you both smiling away!

Before somebody asks... no, my feet aren't twice as big as my head (1st photo), it is the camera angle!!!
