Topic: Joe visits GuitarGuitar Glasgow

During his short stay in Glasgow Joe found time to visit the Premier Guitar Store in Glasgow where he tried out a Les Paul 58 re-issue Les Paul through a Bognor amp. Surprising thing is that he had never tried a Bognor amp before. On my way to Glasgow that day I intended going to store but changed my mind. Doh!

Yeah, we had the Fender Custom Shop 'District Manager' in today (not sure if Jake will read this but he'll get the joke) and he told me about that. Joe....we have Les Pauls's too so next time you're over .....:)

I've been in this shop.
It's the best guitar shop I think I've been in anywhere.

Joe,
Which Bogner amp did you try, and what did you think?

Re: Joe visits GuitarGuitar Glasgow

I tried the Shiva....  For me it was too bright and too scooped in the mids.  It reminded me alot of the ENGL stuff.  Super compressed gain channel and nice clean side.. If forced to use one I would drive the clean channel and use a boost or Tube Screamer.  That would be best.. Not bad, not for me though

Joe, we know you found a new toy while you were in India (George harrison would've been proud of you wink ) but I wondered if you found any new toys while you were in the UK?
