NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Had a bit of a wang on the DemonFX Microtubes A7K today, quite enjoying it, was running it into my interface and then into the Torpedo Wall of Sound plugin with a 8x10 ampeg cab and the poweramp simulation turned on, sounds killer! That's good to know, thanks! I've had one sitting in my AliExpress ...

I've just bought an EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Drive Deluxe pedal from a guy on German eBay. [...] How did you get on or still waiting? Still waiting - turns out Deutsche Post -> DHL -> NZ Post means "DHL flies it to the 'Middle East' and then puts it on a boat" so it could take 50+ days...

Yeah, and now I've heard one I really want one...

I wonder what Ben's threshold of interest is for doing another run of a discontinued pedal?

I was thinking it would be good with my Passive Basses and a point of difference to the Sadowsky which is awesome with a Jazz Bass. I’ve had one since the 90’s a great piece of kit I second this, I have a Sadowsky pre-amp in my Jazz Bass and it is *chef's kiss* - I did have to route/drill a path fo...

Anyone tried Darkglass? Rob has the Harmonic Booster up on Tard Me...hmmm. Dare I mention the Demonfx clone of the B7K Ultra ? It's a helluva lot cheaper than the real thing... And here's the clone of the Harmonic Booster. I haven't tried either, but I'd love to get my hands on a Strandberg bass wh...

I've just bought an EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Drive Deluxe pedal from a guy on German eBay. Has anyone tried this pedal (or the previous, non-Deluxe version)? I'm a big fan of the man and his tone, and having two effects loops in one pedal sounds like it should be pretty versatile. EBS-Billy-Sheeh...

If you were wondering "does anyone play in Fripp's New Standard Tuning these days?", here's a short piece for you. Also a nice Mirabella archtop. FWIW Mr. Mittino also has a custom RIck Toone guitar so he's probably not short of a few bob.

I have had a few expensive guitars slip through. A letter attached saying" Dear Bob, here is the old guitar that your late uncle Jim left you in his will, hope you enjoy it as much as he did Love Aunty Mary" I found works. I actually have a bass (a Sunn Mustang P-Bass, nice enough but not...

I like how Tosin has incorporated ideas from the guitars Rick Toone and Ola Strandberg made for him. I would like to ask him whether he ever wanted to include a neck profile like either Rick's Advantage/IPNP or Ola's EndurNeck . I actually got the chance to ask Tosin why he didn't play Toone's "...

Yes, ten years to the day would've been more impressive: "Cut to ten years later..."

I looked at getting a custom pickguard for my Strandberg last year, I ended up talking to Geoff Wilson at 3Dworx who has a sweet-sounding CNC setup that would do the job. I had previously bought some sheets of pickguard material from AliExpress that were very reasonably priced. Which I still have, ...

Epilogue (since people wanted to know how it all went): Ola's business took off before he had a chance to make my neck (or at least before I could save up the eye-watering cost), so that didn't happen. Later I bought a "maker's licence" to build my own EndurNeck, but didn't get as far as a...

I'm actually getting one of these made by Ola Strandberg; I picked up an Ibanez IMG-2010 body on eBay, so he's going to make me a baritone fanned-fret neck for it, and I've decided to give the EndurNeck a whirl. The bridge saddles on the IMG-2010 are so adjustable that I can get a scale difference o...
