Re: What's your favourite modern low gain tube amp?

I'm fond of my Supersonic.

But I'd love to try something that covers that ground and more.

I'd love to play through a Dumble one day.

I'm Fillmore curious too.

Re: The Acoustic Thread

Saw a documentary on John Martyn (2003?). Reminded me of the character Emmet in the movie Sweet and Lowdown. Quoting Roger Ebert: Here is a man, who, when we first meet him, is already considered peerless among American jazz guitarists, yet is running a string of hookers as a sideline. Who drinks so...

Rick Astley sings the Smiths, at Glastonbury 2023. The real thing, and he makes it fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMG5R9Bpd8k I thought his whole set gave hope to all us old farts. Sadly I'm not a ginger, though I do carry the gene. I used to wear a raincoat in public back in the day too, tho...

Re: Effect of changing room temperature on guitars - at home?

I notice that when my guitar is cold, the tuning goes flat.

The talent on this forum is always surprising. People with serious day jobs who by night are musicians and technicians.

Re: First time ever

Obviously smaller than guitars, but shipping on pedals via Reverb is still very variable. I've had plenty offer shipping from USA/Europe for NZD$50 or even free with $300-600 pedals. But yeah, fuck shipping guitars... Cheaper to fly and get it yourself. I'm going to the States later this year and a...

Re: Best Auckland set up?

AZ charged me $300 for a set up. He had to take off the neck and put it on, and he had to put in a new nut. The work was ok but I wouldn't go back because it was at most 2 hours' work. I do this thing myself but was slammed at work.

EVH tried to find some kind of blues or groove. Impossible with folk.

If like me you've never been able to play rhythm guitar on Van Halen songs and sound like EVH, here's why you and probably no-one else can. Legit explanation of EVH's rhythm playing greatness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GJO2SovRgU I was going to post that here. The end part is actually mind b...
