johnny9fingersAfter lunch I went to John Dickinson's open day. I left young Henry with SWMBO and wended my way to Crystal Palace to see some of John's new amplifiers.
Blimey. Very impressive. He had a couple of highly polished combos which even Madame would allow in our front room: they're that pretty. They are also pretty pricey, coming in at around £4K. They do sound extraordinarily good though.
I doubt that I could justify buying another Dickinson amp so soon after the last one, so Madame shall not find herself with a new piece of drawing room furniture.
I also tried his point-to-point hand-wired tube pre-amp/overdrive pedal. Amazing, but again at £500 they ought to be. I'm considering buying one despite the fact that I'm hardly playing much at all. Depends if SWMBO will frown overmuch at such frivolous expenditure when we have other obvious expenses which rather take precendence.
