Wow!

For a second I thought that was the tribute band, I was like, "Wow, they even look like them".

Doh.

Very cool though, bummed I dont live in AKL for stuff like this.

It went from relatively tasteless to embarrassing. I think I actually have something to contribute. On my first electric (basswood or maybe even mahogany, not sure), the nut was made of cheap plastic (I think) and just cracked into pieces one night. I took it to a luthier, and he made a brass nut. M...

Glad you could pickup on that, Im not the kind of person to take a dive even if Im getting hammered on.

(Whats with the wizard?)

I used to get great action, but now I need to get back in the saddle before its a bridge too far.

Truss you? I'd stick my neck out for you.

What if my nuts are harder than average?

No, we want to nut it out.

Only for first fret notes / chords. So theoritically not anymore than any other fret. Never used one, but wouldn't it always be resting against the zero fret, regardless of the fret you're playing? Just like how the string is always sitting in the nut no? That is the general idea, yes. Then it IS g...

Surely they shouldn't suffer more than other frets? Or am I missing something?

But wouldnt it suffer more because there is always a string being fretted against it?

Haha, I love the "Louder" pedal. Looks pretty neat, is that a stock BOSS SD1?

If you're looking for a date, bass is the wrong instrument.

Ba-dum-tss

Amazed. Proof yet again that a well made, high quality instrument can stand the test of time (and be brought back from the dead, which in this case, was a horrible, horrible wanna-be paint job).

Yeah I been reading, thats right, apparently mostly basswood, though it looks like they've had a run or two of plywood in there somewhere. Haha, apparently there is zero guarantee of consistency with these guitars, I was reading one article where someone he had models from sequential years, but noth...

how about starting with something like this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/music-instruments/instruments/guitar-bass/acoustic-electric-guitars/auction-704415048.htm That's actually pretty neat, I don't live in Chch though. On the other hand one plus to going with a squier would be compatibility with som...

Thanks guys, I actually feel pretty confident about this now. As a result of the 2 Teles and one Strat I've done, short answer is Yes You Can! A bolt on neck will always offer more tweaking options so stick with something Fenderish However, if your budget allows, do this: Contact Adrian at Ash Custo...
