NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

I bought a bunch of stuff from AE but never trusted it enough to buy strings from. Best deal I found was to sign up to StewMac StewMax and get free delivery for a year and 15% off strings. Pack of 10 D’Addario’s worked out to be about $65 landed. Plus you get free shipping on everything else for a y...

Cheers for all the feedback. Time to buy myself a soldering iron and have a play around. I'll look at this problem in a positive way in that I get to experiment in simple and imaginative ways to fix this problem. I'm bit of a tinkerer so it could even be 'fun'. 100k tone pots will be my first step ...

I've been scouting out TM for one even before this issue to use elsewhere so it will definitely be in use sooner or later.

Tried just lowering the pup? (EDIT: was having a brainfart) If it's too bright use the tone control as well, thought you might need to rewire it so the bridge pup gets controlled too. They're quite far away at the moment, I'll try raising them up a bit to see. Normally raising pickups can give a fa...

I need some advice on how to do this in a really cost effective way... Its a alder body, maple neck and custom shop 54's Ideas I've had: 1. Change tone caps from 0.022uf to a 0.047 or even a 0.1uf cap (its that bright) but these will have negligible effect with everything on 10 yeah? 2. Change the A...

I got an axe to grind with Ticketmaster. Was waiting ready at 12pm and no email for the presale came... Held off on the live nation one too cause the allocated's weren't that great. Looks like general sale on Friday for me

I got a couple while back. These are superb quality and very reasonable

If pickup height adjustment confuses you don't go near adjusting the individual pole pieces then

Its definitely got me curious, might have to try one some time. I like tweaking so the controls don't scare me

That's like GAS-ing for... a bypass loop.

On the face of it until you gas on one and then you actually realise just what they can do for ya

Wow, there really is no one who has tried this? That just makes me even more curious to go where (very few it seems) have gone before

So I found myself gassing on true bypass loopers and I see there are options of having some loops that have the possibility of being either series or parallel. The major benefit I can see for myself is having my delay and reverb in parallel so they cant 'hear each other'. Does anyone run theirs like...

Sure does. I play 11s for the extra fullness offered and feel. I also prefer pure nickels.

I didnt think it was too loud. Might be dependent on seating position. I much preferred this than western springs several years ago. The live band feel wasn't as great but god damn what a show.
