It was SynthFest at the Octogon earlier this month.. by the time i read about it in the Guardian.. it'had been and gone

Just a bunch of middle aged blokes nerding out.. much like here

Yeahsynth fest is kinda the same every year. I didn’t bother this year.

Sold, £460.
That probably 2-3× return in real terms.
It was in a terrible state, but I'm still surprised it didn't get a bit more - I can't believe you'd seriously play a 50 year old British made() bass on stage or record, but it's relic condition was outstanding!

Most of the lots though sold at the bottom of reserve, quite a few lots didn't sell so maybe the vintage guitar scene is suffering a downturn like bicycles
- (although surely it can't be that bad?)
