Oh, they were there, Jeff..... the roadies refused to unload the 'current model bass' section of the 18-wheeler without a couple of beers! Well, one thing led to another, and......

Darren, I like the lefty picture, it looks just like my spare bedroom!

Hey, I had to unload all my Ricks myself!!!
What Roadies Howard??
Anyway, it was a great day, many thanks to Darren's lovely wife Robin, and of course, Darren and Howard for a fantastic time.
I could have stayed for days! Can we do it again next Sunday??

Ready whenever you and Darren are, Greg! It was teriffic to meet you and I hope we can get together on a regular basis. My thanks to Darren and Robyn also.
Next time I won't lug 10 guitars, a back-breaking amp and sundry other bits ad pieces half way across Melbourne, though!! It was 9.30 before I got everything unpacked and back in its spot!
Next time it will be only a few guitars (including the 350 you nearly walked out with), a smaller amp and some bits and pieces!!

Sincere apologies, Nate. I promise that you'll be informed next time - could be short notice, though!!

That's pretty amazing guys.
But no wonder I had all the trouble in the world finding one to buy in the shops!
It'd be great to join you with my FG 360 and my soon-to-arrive (I hope) Blueburst 620 next year. On the other hand, it would also be a great excuse to come down empty handed and be forced to buy something in Melbourne so I can join in!

Hi Carl. Nice to hear from you again.
When you consider that only 4 of the guitars and one bass were purchased 'new' (2004 or 2005 build - from a shop), I'm confident that we're not cornering the market. There just aren't any coming in to the country at present (although I heard that a bass turned up unannounced at a dealer down here last week).
You are more than welcome any time, Carl - you don't even have to wait until next year if the opportunity arises - come on down!!!

That is a shame about the dining setting, Greg...... I reckon a V63 would be just perfect for you!!
