If you're in Perth and free next Sunday, 5th of May, come on down to the Flying Scotsman for Strummers Guitars Vintage Guitar Swap Meet - from noon to 5pm.
- Meet the whole Pit Bull Guitars Crew (Dingo Bass, Phil and Adam)
Check out some of Dingo Bass's awesome finished guitars
Live demos of applying Wudtone Custom Guitar Finish
Specialist, personalized advice on building a kit guitar
Swap Meet Specials (on Selected Kits and T-Shirts)
And much, much more...
Hope to see you there!
I'm in! :D See you there.
Geez Adam, you are torturing us here in Melbs (mainly me!!!)!!!!
*sigh* if only Perth wasn't so far away... Would be cool if we all had a meet up that would make everyone happy, most likely if I am on school holidays!
Well, Pest, you have my word, if Pit Bull Guitars ever actually makes a profit, we will bring the team over for a Melbourne Guitar Fair (if thy still have those.. they did in the early 90's when I lived there).
Sounds like a great event! Will make an effort to come through from "South Geraldton" as I'm told my part of the Northern suburbs is called!
Just a thought to show support to Adam, Phil and DB....if we have a Pitbull Guitars shirt to wear that at the event, also allows us to identify and greet fellow forum members!!
Good idea, Gavin. If I could get there I'd totally be wearing mine!Quote:

If you can't make it Pest you might still choose to wear your PitBull shirt that day in support!
I'll be there in spirit from QLD... wearing my Pitbull shirt!
I missed out on a free shirt literally a few days from them being free with a kit!Quote:

Only snag is - PitBull shirts don't come in Small :(
Yea Max, I said that when i was talking to Adam in January, he said throw it in a warm wash and it should shrink!
Might have to pick one up for myself on the day...Quote:

Well, I think we have to say that our very first Guitar Swap Meet was a rip-roaring success. We found a prime position outside the pub, so every single one of the few hundred people who turned up stopped by our Pit Bull Guitars stand for a look.
DB's finished guitars looked absolutely sensational! We had twelve guitars on display and we had a constant crowd checking them out and asking questions. We even sold one of DB's finished guitars! Someone made an offer on DB's TL-1TH in Carmine Gypsy that we couldn't refuse...
Plus, we sold more than half of the Swap Meet Special kits that we took along. An ST-1 at just $90 and a TL-1 at $100 were just a couple of the "one off" bargains.
We look forward to the next one and maybe even taking the show on the road to the other states (yes, we will come to Victoria, Pest!)
Here's a few photos from the day...

There are beers on the table....where the heck was Wokka?
Great to catch up and meet some of the forum members like Brenden (who really needs to have been more creative with his forum name!? ;) as you can see in the last photo, even DB was surprised to learn at that very moment that Brenden really is called Brenden....
Looks like it was a good day, would have loved to be able to see DB's finished guitars up close. Probably would have had to buy a few of the one off specials if I had been able to be there. Will def try to make it if you come to Vic!
Today was a great day for the Pit Bull team! :D
A massive thank you to the forum members that were able to drop by and say hi, Brendan, Maxaxe, Kimball, Sav and the Gavmeister.
Look forward to the next swap meet and the day we can take Pit Bull Guitars on the road interstate.
Yep - great day guys - apart from some of the teenaged angst inside :P . Excited about the new kit. Adding a build diary next. Good to meet the guys - next time I'll have a PB shirt on.
Yeh, really great to meet you guys, thanks for the great advice, especially to DB and Gav, and looking forward to seeing how the P bass comes along Brendan....
Talk about a rogue's gallery. Looks like it was a great day, let's hope it boosts sales and helps the business to continue to grow.Quote:

Looked like everyone had an awesome day, Brendan got his new kit, so he's happy, Wokka didn't steal anyone's beer, so they are all happy :D
yer looked like a great arvo wish myself and Wayne could have made it but clashed with the V8 supercars. I wore my Pitbull shirt to the Barbagallo track Friday and Saturday so tried to get the name out there.Quote:

Hopefully you will hold another swap meet day soon which I will do my best to attend
cheers Wokka
Surely you can get your priorities straight. Hmmmmm V8's or Guitars? V8's or Guitars? V8's or Guitars? Well, if you were looking for a positive, at least you missed some cr@p wailing :o (I mean singing).

sure I was keen as mustard to meet some of the builders, but the V8 circus only come to Perth once a year. I've seen DB's builds hanging on Adam's wall and they are all orsome looking axes.
Don't worry I won't miss the next swap meet which I hope PitBull will hold another one later in the year
Aaah, just stirring Wokka - hope you had fun and looking forward to meeting next time. Maybe Adam will get some muso's together and demo the PB kit. I'd go with the V8's as well. :P
