Re: Rockshop Albany - High End Guitars taken ...

Ram raids seem to becoming a thing here now, high end bike shop in chch got done over a couple of weeks ago, the cheeky buggers even used the shops own van to do it... It's getting pretty epidemic here in the Tron. Mainly gangs of teenagers who steal a car and then use it for a ram raid. There are ...

Very different sound; scooped mids and sweet tops. It would be ideal for strumming with vocal. And like the other one, gives every impression of recording very well.

Re: A Super Slash-Ed NGD

Happy NGD Ed! A great looking high end/spec'd signature model from your favourite guitarist that you got (I'm assuming) a great deal on - seems like a lot to celebrate!!

Re: NAD MT15

I was surprised that NZRS didn’t bring any in after all the killer reviews it got. They even had a video of the MT15 on their website at one stage.

Re: Slimline acoustic-electric

Sometime ago I bought a Maton EM225C cos I wanted an acoustic guitar. Really lovely tone and all, but man, I just can't play the damn thing well due to short stature, very fat belly and only having three fretting fingers (argument with a circular saw - the saw won). Is it wrong that I've had "...

Re: Songs where Bass takes the lead

We’re waaay too deep into this thread to not have had “I want you back” by the Jackson 5! (Incredible bass by Wilton Felder)

Tony Levin on Peter Gabriel “Don’t give up” is a nice one too

I liked that a lot - kind of a slightly James Reyne-y sort of vibe to my ears. Outro solo was very tasty

Re: RIP Eddie Van Halen

It’s such a huge loss. From that video It looks like there’s a truckload of Eddie’s unreleased music in 5150. I always loved his playing more than I liked the band (though I do like them, especially the Roth years). I wonder what they’ll find tucked away in the vaults? As someone alluded to earlier ...

Re: Digitising from a Cassette

Looking for a recommendation on where to take old cassette tapes to have their contents recorded. A work mate has found a few rare tapes from the 80s that he wants to convert to digital, but is concerned that they may have deteriorated to the point that he isn’t confident to put them into a cassett...
