Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

I just ordered one of these from Deluxe Guitars in Melbourne; shipping today. On sale for (AUD)$110 and given the current exchange rate, I couldn't pass it up. Along with the DiMarzio 36ths I got at the Rockshop, my GAS is temporarily in check. At least I'll have something new for Tronfest. http://c...

Cool! Jerry Garcia ran his Fender preamps through Crown SS amps for his signature sound.

Re: NGD

Nice! And, yeah, at some point you might consider getting a set of low-output PAF type pickups.

Re: Old SG's

Beauties, one and all, Grant. My first real gat was a Junior (first one was a Sears catalog Strat copy, which, of course is not a real guitar :lol:). Not knowing much when I was 16, I got rid of the Junior for an Ibanez Les Paul wannabe :shifty:.

Re: The Ultimate Riff

I don't think any listing of riffs would be complete without mentioning the Stones. Love 'em or hate 'em, for better or for worse, they kinda started the whole "riff rock" thang or were at the very least on the ground floor. And they meet the "simple" criterion for the most part ...

Re: The Ultimate Riff

Cream - "Sunshine of Your Love" and "Politician".
Black Sabbath - "Iron Man"
And, cliche as it may be, Deep Purple - "Smoke on the Water."

Classic, simple.

Re: tronfest 21st march 2015

What's tronfest? Keen to go though O.o Tronfest is where you stuff your back (and curse the day that you ever thought that a 4x12 cab was ever a good idea) loading your car up with all of the gear you've carefully aquired over however long you've been playing and are very happy with, take it down t...

Looks like "jayembro" on Trademe is the same guy - Jules from Waihi beach. One of your locals?! Thanks for that bit of detective work. I know Jules; thought this might be his endeavour because I heard through the grapevine a while back that he was trying to do something like this, but I w...

Re: New DigiTech TRIO - "Band in a Box"

yeah that looks pretty cool :D no looper function though? :lol: It appears to take looping to the next level. It does have a multi-part feature that lets you program 3 separate parts for something like verse/chorus/bridge, hook/verse/chorus, verse/pre-chorus/chorus, etc. like this guy does. [youtub...
