NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Hey dude, I got my Ampeg converted a few months ago, and I have the transformer I bought from the states that I don't need anymore. Its 1000W, if you're still looking to go down that road you can have it for $100. Otherwise, remove the transformer and take it to Basil at Howick Transformers. He's wh...

Get in touch with the Musician's Union. You have to become a member and membership fees all depend on how many hours a week you play music. For something like 10 hours a week (maybe 2 practises and a gig) you have to pay $10. I can't remember the figures exactly. And then you pay a percentage of the...

Alright, alright, alright. I took your advice. I called Clarry, and he put me on to Mike Diack who does solidstate amps. He rewired it all for me, and I couldn't be happier. It has more balls, and improved tone. And no more transformer. I found a whole lot of schematics and could have rewired it mys...

I can't imagine needing a 2nd 8x10 for my rig. The room we practice in is pretty dead so it can get a bit lost in there, but I have to turn it down a bit when we gig. Oh I don't really need one, I'd like to have to more for the novelty factor at the moment. I always wanted a huge rig when I was a l...

Yeah, I was looking around Talkbass.com before and searching the internet to see if there was any way I could isolate the 60Hz output but I guess I just have to live with it. I was also thinking about putting a new transformer in the Ampeg because unfortunately I don't think I own one of the many th...

Oh, no, don't get me wrong, I love the SVT. As for your remark on them being notorious for not having much volume, you might be right but so far it hasn't put me a foot wrong and running it through an 8x10 certainly gives it plenty of volume. I'm sure I could sort myself a replacement for the sale o...

I'm running an SVT 4-PRO and a SansAmp RBI rack unit. It just sucks though because my SVT is 110V 60Hz and doesn't react well with 230V 50Hz equipment when running through a sound desk. There's too much white noise and I don't know how to get rid of it.

I was reading the manual for my amp this weekend (as you do when you've got nothing else to do!) and being the man that I am when I bought the amp some 4 years ago I just turned a few knobs and got a sound I liked and left it like that. But I read something in the manual that was talking about conne...

Bottom line. They are shit. I had a Korg rackmount tuner which went all funny - the L.E.Ds were all working on their own, and it was telling me I was playing a note when my bass wasn't even plugged in! I found out through a friend that Music Planet is the showroom for South Pacific Distribution who ...

Sorry, I should add we're looking for someone around the ages of 20-25!

These Four Walls are looking for a new guitarist! Mark, our friendly rhythm guitarist has sadly parted ways with us, and we're looking for someone to fill his spot! We're looking for someone who's committed and serious about being in a band, has decent working gear & transport and has what it ta...

My old band did our 3 albums with him, we were always very happy with his work.

And he's a stand-up guy to boot.

Yeah man. If we had more money, we'd go back to him. He's really easy to work with.

Yes, I actually use it like that. I work the preamp on my bass harder than I do on the amp. It's quite a nice tone. On my bass preamp it has full treble, 3/4 bass and no midrange. I'm really not a fan of midrange. Cyclone tuner? No, it's a Korg tuner. I am trying to imagine your sound, just lots of...
