    Aussie get together??

    I just want to put some feelers out about a perhaps having a Guitar Planet mini bash here in Oz. It maybe a little late to organize for this year but it depends on you guys. It would be in Brisbane as I can control the venue catering and production more easily. Of course it would be only featuring Ernie Ball and Music Man products for you guys to try out. CMC have verbally indicated they would support us which would improve the event by 1000%

    How many would be interested in attending?
    What would you guys expect to see and hear?
    What day of the week would suit?
    How long do you think it should last?

    Your feedback would be appreciated. If it doesn't happen this year I'm thinking Melbourne in 2010 around AMAC. Let me know please? If you're an Aussie lurker feel free to join this forum and indicate your thoughts.

    My boss(es) are telling me I have too much annual leave - so perhaps I can make a trip out of it if it were to happen in Bris-Vegas OR Melbourne!

    Would love to see a cool range of EBMM's (anything is cool really).
    Anyday should be fine by me - perhaps a weekend would better for most people (Saturday).

    sounds great. Anytime as long as its not during work hours, you know how dave is I think a variety of guitars and basses would be cool so we can bring along some people who might like to see what Ernie Ball has to offer.

    Hero Colin!

    I'm definiely interested.
    It's hard to guage what is and isn't feasible, but a nice cross-section of EBMM instruments to noodle with would be awesome! Haha I'm hanging to try an AL, the morse variatons and a petrucci... so even if you just have those i'll try pop over

    I'm with the others, a saturday would be pretty good. Spend half a day widdling some necks and then off to the pub

    I'm excited.
    Scott.

    I buy my guitars from the man with the Biggest Balls in AUS!
