NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

I had one of Warwicks squier like branded basses years ago that I should have never sold, was a brilliant piece of kit! What do you think of those EMG pickups? Well, they’re J pickups in huge housing. EMG J’s are not particularly punchy and Bartolini preamps and pickups skew heavily towards the sof...

Wondering now whats you all would choose for...

Brilliant board. Love the Aguilar combo, two of my three faves. Need to get yourself a Octamizer! I’m willing to bet I sold you those and I didn’t know it Cheers mate. I don't know how I coped all these years without a preamp and a compressor. I've been such a luddite. The TLC came from someone cal...

Nothing out of the ordinary. Assembled very cheaply by patiently waiting for bargains to appear on TM or Facey. I've never been a big fan of effects, so this is really a first attempt. I could take or leave most of the front row apart from the OC3. I love those Aguilars though. 20231124_201820.jpg ...

Dibs on your QTron if you could leave it... I'll hang onto it for the moment mate, not sure when I might need it. I guess what I mean by take or leave is that it's all fun stuff, but it's all a bit novelty and I'm not sure when I might use it. Handy to cover eventualities I guess. The aguilars are ...

This. Unless the effect is intrinsic to the song, your average party goer isn't going to miss it if it isn't there.

This, cannot get my head round it. I like things to look shiny and new.
