NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

I thought I was after a 5 string so I don't need to drop D my Fender Precision, but I ended up with this toy in the mail...

That would be an interesting project. Be interesting to see what some of the others who have done tolex work think.

I learned a good trick from a clip by a guy who gets a huge sound for his solo acoustic stuff. He records his guitar with two different mikes, and pans them left and right, but then he feeds each one to a reverb that is panned to the opposite side. Not sure whether it’s as noticeable in a band mix,...

Hard to get past the origin snobbery. I wonder what resale would be like.

Is that Marty F’s recently acquired one?

No this one was in a shop.

Wow BG, these green cabs look amazing!

I’ve just started playing bass again and I’m trying to use fingers. So hard to get a consistent tone with different length fingers!! I see lots of practice needed. Thats why many use a compressor Yep I have a few of them, but hopefully I can improve technique as there is a tone difference as well a...

I'm thinking about buying a Strat, my budget is more Mexican than USA and I tend towards the traditional specs. I saw this MIJ on the Tard and I quite like it. Seems like a good price and has a hard case too. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/music-instruments/instruments/guitar-bass/electric...

Wow that’s amazing. I can’t even imagine being able to do the rhythms of those slapped parts.

I had a Lead12 and preferred it clean, so never noticed the taper of the gain knob. Great amp, I imagine the Lead20
would be cool too.

I really like the zero fret idea which is different again, I like the idea of open and fretted notes not sounding so different. Don't own a guitar with on but I want to.

Some chord progressions and riffs do not retain their character when transposed to another key. Likewise many fingerpicked passages do not change key and remain playable; not for folks with skills less than Danny Gatton. I definitely get that. I had to transpose about 60% of the Moe Show songs for ...

A mate can't sing the high range any more. He's tried de-tuning his guitars but the sound is mushy. I suggested a baritone but with 4 guitars arriving in the mail in the past 5 weeks, he's worried the next delivery will be divorce papers. There's pedals that do this though, right? What are they? Go...
