NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Interesting feedback, thanks. Not surprised at your impression of the JJ's. In my experience, they make good EL84's & GREAT 6V6's, but their pre amp tubes are a bit dull. Plug an old, bright Strat into the Marshall and you might like them a bit more. When experimenting , I have often noticed a h...

Definitely 2 EL84, cathode biased. I have the Head version of this, the Jansen 4 Twelve (4 valves, 12 watts clean output, 18 flat out, no trem or reverb). When I got it, Clarry Schollum gave it the once over. I told him to do whatever he thought needed doing and send me the bill. He replaced a coupl...

Thanks internet.

Awwww Jen.... you just killed the Fun!

I feel much better about the Genalex Gold Lions I just bought.... And my Collection of RCA 6L6GC's and multiple old Mullards now looks lke a Red Shed bargain :) RCA made some great power tubes. I use their 6V6's in my Fender type amps bar the TopHat which is running TAD 6L6. The RCA 12AX7's are mea...

Okay, so tolex, tweed and tablecloth has been used to cover cabinets before, is there any reason why denim hasn't been used (that I know of)? If memory serves, Kustom did some in the '70s. Can't see why it wouldn't be good, but if the price of a pair of Levis is anything to go by, it might double t...

Um....FSR....
Fast Swimming Rodent?
Flashy Strat Reissue?
Fat Slappers Rule?
Fishy Suspicious Rendition?
For Suckers Really?
For Some Reason?

If you can come up with two more hand shandy, this is the hottest looking Strat I've seen on TM for ages: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=281160271 I think it's a 'Deluxe FSR '62 FMT. No idea what the FSR stands for, but here's some reviews: http://reviews.harmony-central.com/review...

Any one have experience with old 60's long plate 12AX7's while we're on topic? As microphonic as people say? What about in a Marshall rather than a Fender? I only have short grey plate Sylvania's which I do like a lot, but I just got a quad of long black plates...and have no idea what I'm in for. E...

yikes

Those vintage HiFi guys are WAY more nuts than we are.....

It's OK Bruce; just take your little pills and keep banging the rocks together. Gidday Bruce, Can you also let the other GANZ guys know about our event? I contacted Dennis but haven't had a response. Thanks, Rob :) Will do my best, Rob but I'm probably not your man. Last time i was as GANZ was when...

Greetings Citizens, As a bit of fun we are going to run a competition at the launch event on Saturday the 10th. Rob Right... So now I know for sure I am a mushroom..... Does this shootout have an address & time or is it only open to those who already 'know'? :) Itried the Greenstone briefly at ...

"To be even more picky, ebony isn't technically 'bright' as such. It has a high damping factor and accentuates the "attack" part of the decay envelope of each note. That gives the perception of brightness, I suppose. The high damping factor is a middle finger in the face of all the di...

Did some experimenting last night and discovered something: The lighter my fretting hand, the less difference I noticed between Maple & Rosewood. So here's the question; Do those of you who don't mind either way play with a light touch? And do the rest of you tend to wring your guitar's neck lik...
