NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Forumite-built guitar on my workbench. Thinking about doing a waterslide decal on the (metallic purple) headstock. Figure I should decide before I spray clearcoat. Anyone had decals printed in NZ? Or is there another way to put a decal under clear coat? Whatever you do, please don't use Brush Scrip...

Anyone had decals printed in NZ? Or is there another way to put a decal under clear coat?

I don't need more ambient shit, I don't need more ambient shit....

Will add myself to the queue if possible, Reg.

add a bit more gain maybe?

Sit a little closer to the amp. Try a hollowbody. Etc etc

Reg, whatever OD circuit is in the pedal you built for me, it is bloody good.

Welcome.

To get you up to speed:
- don't follow any links from Jeremyb
- all gear photos must include a sneaky toe/foot. Open-toed footwear permitted.
- we just can't work out why there aren't more female members
- do you want to buy an Iridium?

I have a Blues Breaker model that I use on the Source Audio LA Lady. Really enjoy it. Happily have a blat on yours, if that's useful.

And I love the power chord insulation used as spacers!

Heh.

Sometimes, I think I'm a monkey with a machine gun :roll: I changed the valves in Optimus from 6L6 to 6DZ7. So far, so good. Then in a moment of inspiration I replaced V1 with one of my old Mullard ECC83s Switch on amp and Mullard explodes . Seriously, broken glass everywhere. Today's job is to rem...

<Youtube shitness> Been looking at how to soundproof my studio in Nelson. This popped up and didn't change my opinion of him. I really really want to punch Tim Henson in the balls, I suspect he'd enjoy it though. I particularly liked his shout outs to all the sponsors, oh and his general being a fu...

Nice one, so the hum wouldn't have been getting quieter when you touched the strings? Nah...and I didn't pick up on that one. I was more focused on the hum getting louder and quieter when I moved the guitar in relation to the amp. With it parallel to the speakers it was very hummy/buzzy and then it...

If you wanted to send me the neck and the colour codes I could spray it for you. Happy to send some photos examples of my work in a week or so when I'm done sanding. Thanks. This was an option I'd thought of, but I hoped to take it to someone local so they'd have the body for reference since, as yo...

Used the VHT with the Band last night. It'll do nicely. The problem was one of dynamics. I fingerpick everything and need both clean and breakup at my fingertips. The VHT gives me that sweet spot at exactly the band's volume. So I can get on with playing what I feel and hearing what I expect. It's ...

Sounds unusual but a car paint shop could match it in poly/acylic, and then you could get it into an aerosol. Might cost. $100 for the mixing etc, but you’d get real close and modern car paint is good for guitars, generally speaking. Does it have a logo? Have to manage that too if so. I thought abo...
