Re: Set ups etc. in the Tron?

Does the lack of responses mean:
1. No one gets set ups in Hamilton?
2. I’m just a cheapo and everyone goes to Keith? Or,
3. That other reason that might make me want to go and sit in a dark corner eating ice cream and listening to Leonard Cohen :(. ;)

Set ups etc. in the Tron?

Where are people getting their set ups etc. done in Hamilton? I know Keith MacMillan is good but a bit pricey for me. Morris at Shearers used to do a great job but who is around now? The guitar I bought for my son had heavy gauge strings and was set up for C tuning and there's a few buzzing issues n...

NAD - son’s first amp (maybe)

Got a great deal on a guitar for my eldest’s upcoming birthday but thought I was going to have to hold off on an an amp until I managed to score this today for 60 bucks and a trip to Matamata. http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx62/brawlaman/4AA75575-6D52-4FD0-8634-5C75D31CE889_zps61vzvqbe.jpeg Pre...

Re: Roger Waters. Us and Them

A friend had a couple of extra tickets to the first Auckland show and offered them to me a couple of days before at a very discounted price. I took my 13 year old boy for his first ever concert. Production and sound were amazing. Dave Kilminster’s tone was glorious!

Re: Tronfest 1st July 2017

I hope to be there but it's looking like the usual family dramas might keep my gearfest curse streak alive. Wife just got discharged from hospital yesterday but our gp says she shouldn't have been. My attendance will depend on how she's doing and whether I can drop my kids at my mum's

Re: 1957 Les Paul Special

Poor Grant - keep saving up bro and one day you might actually be able to finally afford a brand new guitar instead of those old ratty used ones you keep having to make do with. Maybe a nice new Dean? (Dream big!)

Sweet! Looks just like my Burny! (though I suppose that should be vice versa). I got some of these for maximum RR http://www.trademe.co.nz/music-instrume ... 049824.htm

Re: Show us your Telecasters

My response to reading this thread: "ugh, a tele....ugh, a tele...ugh, a tele...actually that one's not bad - for a tele...ugh...etc. etc."

Teles are to electric guitars what Twilight is to vampires.

Re: Tronfest July 2nd 2016 - the Best-fest

Poos! My wife didn't tell me she had a family thing in Te Kuiti this morning and has taken the car. She was supposed to take all the kids (so I could have just found my own way to tronfest sans gear) but the 2 little ones couldn't get up early enough so I'm on dad duty! My Tronfest curse strikes aga...

Re: Tronfest July 2nd 2016 - the Best-fest

I should be able to make an appearance. Probably won't bring my gear since I don't have anything new (just same old Ash Fireman replica, Burny LP, and Ryan custom build I always bring).
