Re: Nitro spraying advice

Hi, not nitro related but polyurethane related.

After spraying the gloss colour coat, do I need to spray a clear coat, please?

Rick Astley sings the Smiths, at Glastonbury 2023. The real thing, and he makes it fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMG5R9Bpd8k Poos, its copyright striked :-( what song did he do?? He did almost every Smiths song I'd put on your list to hear. Charming Man, What Difference Does it Make, How Soo...

Re: What's your favourite modern low gain tube amp?

I'm fond of my Supersonic.

But I'd love to try something that covers that ground and more.

I'd love to play through a Dumble one day.

I'm Fillmore curious too.

Re: The Acoustic Thread

Saw a documentary on John Martyn (2003?). Reminded me of the character Emmet in the movie Sweet and Lowdown. Quoting Roger Ebert: Here is a man, who, when we first meet him, is already considered peerless among American jazz guitarists, yet is running a string of hookers as a sideline. Who drinks so...

Re: Effect of changing room temperature on guitars - at home?

I notice that when my guitar is cold, the tuning goes flat.

Re: First time ever

Obviously smaller than guitars, but shipping on pedals via Reverb is still very variable. I've had plenty offer shipping from USA/Europe for NZD$50 or even free with $300-600 pedals. But yeah, fuck shipping guitars... Cheaper to fly and get it yourself. I'm going to the States later this year and a...

Re: Best Auckland set up?

AZ charged me $300 for a set up. He had to take off the neck and put it on, and he had to put in a new nut. The work was ok but I wouldn't go back because it was at most 2 hours' work. I do this thing myself but was slammed at work.

Re: YouTube goodness

EVH tried to find some kind of blues or groove. Impossible with folk.
