NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Thanks mate! Next time I'm down at our practice shed I'll give you a bell. Or you could just give me a ring. The older solid state amps are often easier to fix. I am helping a mate renovate a bathroom at the moment but I am not going away during the silly season so I can take look at it. Remember ex...

Not wanting to hijack your thread OP, but can anyone tell if it is OK to grind a new sharp point on my big mofo of a soldering iron (the one I use to do grounding for pots etc)? I intend to make it sharp, then immediately heat and coat with flux & solder. Should I not do this for any reason? Fr...

Anyone have a decent, mid-priced ($50-$100) soldering iron recommendation? I have one of the Goot pencil-style ones from Surplustronics but I seem to have a terrible time with it (as opposed to the irons I've used at AUT Maker Lab) A station set-up would be preferable, I've seen mentions of the Well...

Hey all,

I'm trying to get my chops up with mixing so PM me and I'll happily do a song or two for anyone interested.

More time to record.

Thanks for your input all!

Soldering burns here I come.
