NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Having played many Marshalls over many years from vintage to the latest, I can now confirm their greatest year of production. I currently own a '77 JMP 2204 and while sounding glorious, their best year is not 1977 even though for a while I thought it was (birth year amp, hard not to be biased). Had ...

You mean like this: IMG20210812203319.jpg I have two boxes & a few bottles in the freezer😁 Gig photo is gender reassignment related, asked for the heavy bleeder option to make it more authentic 😜 Where did you get that?!!!! :wtf: web address is on the bottle Yes, comes across from oz although v...

I blame silly NZ laws. If we were allowed real Absinthe, proper Wormwood stuff, after two bottles the Green Fairy would have swooped down and grabbed your mate before he hurt himself. I presume that gig in the photo was the one you did immediately after rescuing him? You mean like this: IMG20210812...

Your friend broke their scapula? Fuck that. After two bottles of Absinthe at our friends hillside shack, an adventurous walk was decided by the group. On our way down a coastal track he fell off a cliff, saved from falling further by getting wrapped around a tree after hitting the rocks. Scaling do...

The overly self indulgent pic is of a fabulous blood & chunk covered performance (in 2017?) at what was my ultimate happy place - The King's Arms. So many good times at that majestic venue, both as a punter & performer. Cool pic and cool guitar, but I get sad every time go to our France Str...

Single pickup grind machine😃 Ibanez RG2610Z. My #1. Japanese crafted perfection. Single pickup, volume only. Came stock with a SD Full Shred which was very average, pic shows the short lived EMG81 that I liked but ended up installing a Dimarzio Super 3 for the win. Setup 12-60 in B standard. The ove...

OK. I'll play Mr Cowley

Congrats on the epic incoming rig
My Randy jam tracks are Diary of a Madman (one of my favourite intros & solo), Over the Mountain & Believer. Les Paul tuned half step down is a beast!

Stomp Under Foot Rams Head 1974 v11 IMG20210629144320.jpg Courier just dropped this off but it'll have to wait for testing as I'm about to receive guests of the non guitar type variety. Cold, crappy weather will ensure the neighbors are all tucked in with windows closed this evening & then testi...

Been working through Metallica's Disposable Heroes. That sure gets the right forearm pumping! That song is a brutal rythmic workout. Ben Eller on YouTube does a great breakdown on some of the finer nuances in the song as the official tabs are crap & can be hard to pick out by ear with the speed...

I had this one for a while:

I really like that, seriously cool retro sci-fi vibes.
Not familiar with Walla Walla, will have to check them out.

Well, when I saw the thread Title my immediate reaction was NO, then I opened the thread and saw you picture and said Yes under certain circumstances, and that is one of them. Nice. It some ways it's not a lot different from a Steel Dobro with the palm or something etched on it, which I have one of...

Whilst I'm generally a fan of solid colour adorning my guitar bodies (natural woodgrain is out for me), there are a few art/graphic finishes I like. In the heavy metal realms of Jackson, BC Rich & ESP there has been many a cheesy fail of art finishes. However, my Ibanez RGT HRG1 gets it right! I...

Just hit the button. Have a couple of amps I'm looking forward to crank with this.
Price seemed reasonable for $130 boxed as new.

Dumb question time. If the tubes are dodgy in the Rockshop Mesa, why do they not fix them? If they did would you buy it? Presumed dodgy tubes. Strummers and I pointed it out to them almost two months ago. Wasn't fixed when I went in a month later. I offered to do a layby then, on the condition that...
