My question is, what on earth are you doing that requires that much amp?
Downsizing.

Obviously.

Re: That BF Super Reverb at Cadenza…..?

Getting back to the Super Reverb: I spent a lot of time with the Super Reverb owned by Rob Magnus. He used it in the Blue Rhythm Hounds and I think the Pink Flamingoes as well.

Re: That BF Super Reverb at Cadenza…..?

I don't like this freeform speculation about someone's life, even if it is designed to be a bit silly or patently outrageous. Speculating about someone's life or background is, in my view, incredibility intrusive into their life. It puts us close to the level of the online speculators regarding the...

Genuine question, is that something that happens in NZ?

I thought it was just on TV and in America!
Genuine answer: We have no idea and even less desire to find out.

Re: That BF Super Reverb at Cadenza…..?

Oooo.... Intriguing! I know he used to have some pro looking photos of himself up on the wall behind the counter. I wonder if he wrote one absolutely awful number 1 hit ( that he'd never admit to) and still lives off the royalties?! It's possible. He's actually a monster player when he can be bothe...

Re: That BF Super Reverb at Cadenza…..?

The rare times I've been on K road I've popped in to the shop. When asked the price of an item in there Eds reply was usually 'what do you think it's worth?' I have no idea how he stays in business. The impression I got from some of his friends is that he doesn't actually need to be in business. Oo...

Re: That BF Super Reverb at Cadenza…..?

Excuse my ignorance, but what’s Cadenza? Is this an Auckland guitar store? It is. Owned by Ed Pausma who is a lovely guy with a perplexing business model. He's more like a collector who wants to be teased with requests to buy something without actually having to sell it. The store is an Alladdin's ...

Re: Gretsch content

I'd be inclined to ignore the name on the headstock and just look at it as a generic guitar. Because given its origins, it might appear under several brands. Now this isn't a bad thing; the Koreans and Taiwanese can make some fine instruments and it should be judged on its merits. Just don't go thin...

Re: Guitar valuations from an out of touch player

Welcome! That's an interesting bridge on the Strat, what is it? Great opportunity go get your Bonnie Raitt on. As for prices, check Trademe and Reverb for a general indication but remember they're asking, not selling prices. To be honest, replies from us might be opportunistic (though not all). But ...

Re: Late 70s Strats - thoughs?

They sound good so far, but in typical fashion O had it all in peices before I could play with them too much. Something that has me stumped is the cavity. It seems to have a green shielding paint under the finish. I say shielding because it the ground wire screws into it, which has also been finish...

I’m really happy with my Bosch, electronic speed control, laser sights, great depth gauge, built in clamp. What’s not to like? Kept my old Ryobi but will use for fret pressing ;) seriously https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/bosch-electric-bench-drill-press/p/269303?store=43&gad_source=1&gclid=C...

Pretty much done. Learned from so many mistakes with this. It looks pretty nice and clean over all but I know every little mess up that I made and it annoys me. Will finish the wire up and crank it.

Re: Do you remove the trem cover on your Strat?

Ummm.... I take them off and lose them but I just noticed the G&L still has one. Probably because with typical G&L common sense design, there's a handy lack of plastic over the trem block. I also noticed it's black while the pickguard is white. So this tells me two things: I have a worrying ...
