NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Thats a piece of art mate, very nice.

I like mine set to 2mm for all strings and the ATK300 is set to just that. I play with pick mostly and like to dig in and get slap and string percussive noise. Feels right to me, certainly would not go higher for how I like it.

Aria Bass back on the work bench today. Lowered the action yesterday and it highlighted a couple of nasty dead spots. Off with the neck so I could give it a dressing. Something uniquely satisfying about lovely shiny frets! You going for rounds or flats? I am looking at changing to flats, as the bas...

You caught me in a fragile moment

Been clearing projects away to finally get into winding some pickups with my winder. These are single pole bobbins with a dummy coil. I expect to make a few mistakes along the way and probs waste some wire in the process. Just getting my head around polarity, winding direction etc at the moment and ...

Drive is Marshall Guvnor and I blend this in with a Boss LS-2 to preserve the bottom end and get the dirt I need. Its not the best but does the job without messing up the bottom end tone. I don't use this that much tbh, I have a H&K QC-415 which also has a girt control also. One day when I grow ...

My chain is Compressor-Overdrive-tuner, although I use the overdrive little. Active eq on the my bass is more important for shaping.

It's good unit and has a nice preamp for the voice with some compression and eq, you do need to feed an instrument into it for the unit to track your key (essential). I don't use this in the context where there are people...

Is this a short scale?

Oh much love for those dusty knobs, nice change out BG. Little santa hats on those ears will be appropriate for those xmas gigs though aye

Todays job, fixing my mates Ultimaker 2 3d printer, new print head and wiring for it. Works a treat. My god these are good printers...no tone wood involved though.

Surprisingly loud in this case.

Just finished the work on this Hofner Senator 53 for a mate. Fret level, crown and polish, bridge contouring and tail piece repair. general clean & setup. Has a great vibe and quite bright sounding. At some point its its life it lost the pick guard and a pickup was installed. https://live.static...

Awesome job mate. Making that caliber would have been hard work alright. You brought it back to life.

Thanks doing that already, I am looking for a sound with a different timbre that be controlled independently.
