Phil Mailloux Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Only if you spend an hour and a half at each stand, for the two hours you're there This is Australia dont forget You were completely right Perry, It was tiny. There was two small acoustic builders (not my thing), Maton guitars was also there. It was pretty cool, there was a showing of a "History of Maton" DVD, that manufacture looks great! and I showed my GOTM bass to one of the higher ranking employees there. He gave me tons of tips on it. That was great! Apparently they're always looking for staff for their plant. How I wish I lived in Melbourne right now There was also a small boutique bass builder there. Exactly the same types of basses I build. He was really cool in the beginning but once he saw my bass he became much less interested in telling tips. I was met by BS answers when I asked where he got his woods locally and Nitro lacquer. I guess he saw me as competition All in all, 30 minutes was enough to see it all. It was worth my time to go there just for Maton's tips and seeing boutique basses up close to compare other builder's basses other than that... Quote Link to comment
XPLOAD Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 yeah, it was nowhere near as big as i had expected. but somehow managed to spend half a day there on saturday, and on sunday aswell. the maton guitars thing was interesting, as you said, i wish i was in melbourne aswell Quote Link to comment
Jivin Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I just wanted a cheap amp I got a panic business call after I had been there for about 45 minutes, and I can't say I was all that worried that I had to leave Ahhh well, not the end of the world. - Dan Quote Link to comment
