Hi J North,
Thank you for your post, and to all who have requested audition. Here's the drill:
1. First up, post here to 'book' your place.
2. Contact Paul (Occam of razor fame) in NYC by PM on this forum when you are within two or three stops of your audition, just so he has a point of contact. You can use the PM system on this forum to talk and plan movement with other auditioners.
3. Talk with Paul about the logistics; he's the boss. If three people in NYC want audition, for example, it makes sense to audition all three immediately since that's where the amp is at present and people save on shipping. More than that, a split would be set up; three weeks NYC, then out of state, then back to NYC for another long session.
4. The order will thus not be hard and fast, but up to Paul, loosely based on who posts their booking first, and present amplifier location. But it will be a pragmatic justice, you can be sure.
5. Don't mess with the amp. Don't open it, fiddle with it, abuse it, short it, or otherwise play Mr Fixit with it. These things often end in tears, we don't want tears..... And send it on only after the next guy has sent shipping costs plus insurance via PayPal or some other financial instrument. None of us wants a slanging match on the forum!
6. Always be nice. Please, no shouting at any time!
There is NO PAPERWORK at this stage. Let's keep it so. If Paul is forced to impose burdensome admin on this grand experiment it will be a right PITA and we really want to avoid this.
Cheers,
Hugh
