OK, chaps,

The First Wednesday of September is next Wednesday - the first of the month. We hope to be welcoming David and June back!

Also, in response to various enquiries made, I'll have my Gretsch 6122 there - now newly fitted with hand-made TV Jones "TV Classic" pickups - properly-built and sourced replicas of the original USA Filtertrons, made with the best of materials and miles better than the Japanese versions supplied with the guitar.

Real definition on the low strings - just wait till you hear it!

See you all next week...

JimN and Spencer S

Hi Jim,

Long time no see you at Surrey Shadows Club. I know it's a long drive for you on a Friday.

Is the SMSE venue still at Temple Farm Working Mens Club? I hope to make a visit on Wednesday.

Cheers,

Bob Withrington

Hi Jim,

I have to admit that I'm not familiar with TV Jones pickups, nor the difference, therefore.

Would it be possible to make an A/B comparison?

Perhaps you could play your first numbers with them fitted, then swap them over during the break, and play your second set with the originals........... ;)

All being well, June and I will see you on Wednesday, bum notes akimbo.

Well... as it happens, I'm probably not going to be able to get to SMSE on Wednesday, since I simply have to be at a different event from 19:00 onward. :(

But...

Spencer will hold the fort (don't forget to pay him, folks!) and I may be able to put in an appearance later in the evening.

One-off event... local politics... can't be helped...

Hope to be there later on - and if I can, it'll be great to see Bob and particularly to see David and June.

Best wishes,

JN

Thanks very much for that, Bob.

You and John were very welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to SMSE. Both you and he are clearly ace players, with some unusual choices of material being made. Please come again soon (and spread the word...).

I'm just sorry that I was unable to be there for much of the evening, though I'm sure Spencer S was a capable host.

Very best wishes,

JimN

PS: Thanks for the info re the shirt logos. We'll have to think about that (at long last) at SMSE.
