    In all seriousness what do you need to man on a "the fretboard" stand?

    Do you actually have gear on there? 

    I'll be honest I don't quite get the point of the stand
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    All good points, plus at the previous show there were a few instruments built by forumites on display.

    You'll also get a hug from @Handsome_Chris if you're lucky.

  • I'm torn between the Saturday or the Sunday.  The only live event on Sunday I'm interested in might be That Pedal Show, but would that offer anything that their YouTube channel doesn't.
    Don't let your mind post toastee - like a lot of my friends did!

    They are great fun on stage. Aynsley is going to play with them too. 

    You can get a “come back tomorrow for a fiver” flyer if you come on Saturday

    It's the NW the week after. Do we have a presence there. If we have a stand at all then why don't we have tFB merchanside?

    I started this posting on the show - I've not looked at the exhibitors so not sure how many FB guys are exhibiting but normally a few in one sector or another - Retail, manufacture, spares, pedals, amps, guitars etc

    No FB stand - But sometimes they liaise at my stand say 11/12/1 or 2 - But best to keep such updates on that thread

    Fredric Effects will be at both shows, with a setup that looks a bit like this:

    It might be an idea to publicise this, as I suspect there may be a bit of interest.
