Not completely. Pretty difficult to remove distortion from a sound, or add what's not there. You probably aren't gonna find heaps of sound engineers able to get an amazing bassy dub style tone from a Jazz Bass's bridge pickup through a guitar amp. Hopefully, the sound engineer, if he's good...

There used to be a pretty well known band here called tadpole... :p

The 100W combo with a 2x10" would almost certainly sound better then the 15W when at the same volume, the speakers can, to put it simply, move a lot more air and would have a lower frequency response, and you can just turn it down anyway, you won't have any less low end relative to the rest of...

When I think of growl I pretty much think of Stingrays and Jazz Basses. Apparently part of the growl from a Jazz bass with both pickups on full is because of the comb filtering because they're out of phase, but they do growl with just the bridge pickup of course. Also, plucking closer to the...

The two guitarists in my band are two of my closest friends, so yes! :D And they're both talented too, one has a bit of an ego, but you get used to it, the other has confidence issues occasionally and doesn't show off, but is very good. And she can sing! Even if she doesn't say so herself...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

I'm guessing you're a Muse fan? ;D

Oh and of course, visit Wellington, which is the capital and is sort of known as the arts/culture capital of the country in a lot of ways. Check out the Cuba Precinct for that stuff especially.

If you're coming to NZ closer to summer (Dec-Feb here), definitely try get the The Bay of Islands up north, absolutely amazing during that time of year. If you're in Auckland, go up the Sky Tower, has nice views and is the tallest building in this half of the world. Check out any gigs at The...

A few Muse songs do I think. Feeling Good and Citizen Erased being two of them.

Today they declared a National State of Emergency (instead of just a Regional one) for the first time in our countries history. It's very sad.. :( But all the help from around the country and world is just amazing.

Yeah, everything's really expensive here as well. $800 NZD for a Squier Deluxe Jazz, $350 or so for an affinity series, $180 for a Bass Big Muff etc etc... There are pretty high duties on certain things, despite us apparently having one of the worlds freest economies. I looked at buying a bass...

I know that these guys make guitar amps made out of aluminium: Invalid Link Removed But obviously there'd be a lot more issues with the low resonating etc..

SHEET METAL!!!!! Yes, It's a terrible joke.... :hiding: :p

Get him! You can have a million 'percussionists', Slipknot style! :D Haha
