NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Guitarists and tech. Anyone playing around with synths at that time had a WAY steeper learning curve than making a few guitar effects talk to each other. Had to wire them up yourselves, manual was in Latin, had to generate your own electricity by pedaling, etc etc etc No. We had to read the documen...

I have a CC Deusenberg which came from Oleg. Installed a set of Dtron's, Deusenberg's version of Filtertrons. They gave the guitar a great but pretty bright tone. Very little bottom end in the neck pu. Recently put a set of flatwounds on it and now there is plenty of bass in the neck again and less ...

I highly recommend the Iron Man attenuator ( big version ). It's particularly transparent , will take 100watts and has a z matcher so you can set the input to the impedance of your amp's output and the output to the impedance of your speaker. Doesn't have a 2 ohm setting though so Super Reverb users...

Nice one JB. So, not really any real-world difference re wood. Interesting. if no difference to tone, the durability / moisture resilience etc stuff is totally legitimate. Becoming more relevant if recent weather patterns are going to be more frequent. I think that's why Marshall have moved to that...

Anything digital, with a couple of exceptions..

Open to offers on this rather splendid vintage spec Bass Q Wah..

Learn me please. Do flats mellow out the sharpness of the bridge pickup? To a certain extent. This particular guitar is inherently bright and has retained much of it despite the flats. However the bridge pu has never been an issue. Clean at low volume requires some tone back off but cranked it tran...

Put a set of flatwound 12-52's on my Tele today.

Slightly less twang factor but it thunks like a mofo..

I've come close to grabbing one of those. Thought it would make a nice lap steel?

Wow that's very nice Love those German top carves.

Small hands, get a Dano, save your hands. back and bank balance.

Never tried a scalloped Strat but I had an SG custom in the early 70's which had been scalloped and it was extremely easy to fly around on. I think the presence of 3 pu's required more playing adaptation than the scalloping .

I managed to get in contact with Steve Dawson the guy who designed the Astoria series. I have now modified the amp slightly, I have reduced the gain by about 25% which makes it easier to dial in. I have also reduced the boost setting by quite a bit, again makes it much more useable. Easy to reverse...

Back when I had the previous series Marshall pre I ran it into the fx return of a Matchless HC30.

Question still lingers though...is it safe to run the amp at 16 ohms into a speaker load of 8 ohms? I was under the impression that running an 8 ohm out into a 16 ohm load is ok and on the occasions I've done it, sounds fine but quieter than a matched output. Running from 16 into 8 though could pot...
