NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

UAFX Ruby! I’m really looking forward to moving into a direct rig at lower volume for as many of my gigs as is practical. Also have had my Herdim Picks delivered recently, and an eBow, and really feeling fired up to get some tribute shows happening Wow, are you going to be the edge? haha yes I am. ...

Wow, are you going to be the edge?

Probably better than the other option

With the supro pushed a little the bad monkey gives enough gain for most things. Can definitely get past AC/DC territory. Not sure about Metallica to be fair, but I did get a bit of chug chug going on a couple songs. I hope for the humour they were Wagon Wheel and April Sun in Cuba! Nah, my normal ...

IMG_4320.jpeg I think I have everything I need here. Pub gig tonight. No call for the dd5 yet, but you never know… Um, where’s the high gain? You can’t play that one Metallica song you need at the pub with a bad monkey! With the supro pushed a little the bad monkey gives enough gain for most things...

The other 10% is hideously expensive.

This is a great cover. What a hard band to do a tribute show to!

New (to me) bass being picked up today.... Mexi Jazz five string. I won't see it for a couple weeks, as it's being picked up by someone their way to Wellington, brought back when they return. Because cash converters in palmy wouldn't ship - and pack and send would have been $cary I think. IMG_4210.j...

This is a solid state amp, right? Might narrow the Auckland field a bit since some amp techs prefer to stick to valve/tube stuff. If you get stuck and can’t find anyone I might be able to walk you through a few tests you can do yourself. Might end up being something you can handle on your own with ...

Maybe email these guys as they're the importer in NZ: https://musicbiz.co.nz/ Nah it’s quite old, I’m sure it wouldn’t be worth going to the importer. You could try reading this list! https://www.nzguitars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=41696 Thanks, but all the Auckland listed are guitar repai...

Reviving an old thread with a new question. I gave my Gallien Kruger bass amp to my son in Auckland, and it’s developed a fault. Who would you guys recommend for taking something like that to? He’s in Three Kings/Mt Roskill. Thanks Maybe email these guys as they're the importer in NZ: https://music...

An early guitar influence of mine was a teacher who played a Strat like this into a JC120 and a single distortion pedal (maybe Boss HM2) - I thought it was amazing.

I'm wanting a good envelope filter. I've been researching and there seems to be quite a difference between what they do. I would like one that sounds funky - the 'pop/quack' sound, but not lose all the bottom end. I would appreciate opinion from my learned forumites. What are you guys using and why...
