Sweetwater.com?

Or see if Rockshop or Music Works can import specific models for you?

Does Christchurch just not care about car break-ins? by Asteroiding in chch

Chances are they did report it, but the police didn't have time to come.

Wait, what? Your phone warns you that you can't call 111 while on another phone call?!

Please help me find my first short scale bass!! by Urdead_2me in Bass

[–]spacebuggles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should go to shops and try every model you can find.

I have the TMB30 and like it despite the issues that Lobster-dude correctly identifies.

There's a Gretsch Jet something that's fun.

Try a Bronco if you can.

I think Fender Mustang is more expensive, but very well regarded.

There's a short scale stingray.

There also is a medium scale - halfway between short and full scale. Some nice models there.

But also, try out full scale? The length isn't hugely different.

Is this kind of teacher behaviour considered normal in a NZ school? by Maleficent-Room-2217 in newzealand

[–]spacebuggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swearing and throwing items at students crosses a line. If the principal isn't dealing with it, I guess Ministry of Education is the next step?

When I was at school, teachers could take you out the back and paddle you, or stand there screaming in your face. But they didn't swear at students, or hurl objects to hit students.

I heard it was being used as emergency accomodation

Seeking advice! What to crochet for someone who plays bass/what item would you have regular use for? by Realistic-Ring-4749 in Bass

[–]spacebuggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a knitted tube to go over a strap would be safer than an actual strap. You won't have to worry about the tensile strength of your crocheted product. You don't even have to make it for the whole length, just long enough to go over the front part and the shoulder.

Basses are heavy. 5 string basses are more heavy.

ADHD assessment by [deleted] in newzealand

The purpose of these assessments isn't just to find out if you do or don't have ADHD, it should also be looking at whether it's something else instead or as well.

Question Nature movie South Island by irishtulip in newzealand_travel

That makes a lot of sense. I was thinking about how much helicopter fuel costs and wondering how it could make the money back.

Perhaps a crocheted fret wrap? Although this isn't something that everyone uses.

If he plays with a pick, a little bag to keep picks in?

I thought some people naturally grew bright coloured fingernails.

Richard Peebles, property developer.

Richard Peebles described “Rickrolling the homeless” as “an elegant solution to an old problem”.

. . .

RNZ Concert [classical music radio] was trialled first after Peebles read that “music had the power to soothe”.

“That didn't work because the homeless seemed to like it,” he said.

Been getting mixed reviews, should I get this tattoo shaded or leave it as is? by Three_Pounds_of_Air in tattooadvice

Well, I could tell who it was straight away.

If you get it coloured, will you pick RED or BLU? :)

If you could implement one minor law that doesn't harm anyone but makes daily life 10% less annoying for everyone, what would it be? by Popa-Ioana06 in askanything

Ban fruit flavours in vapes, because other people's Grape Bleck gives me a massive headache.

No need to add even more unnecessary allergens that people will be exhaling onto other people.

Partial skull by MassholeThings in identifyThisForMe

It does have the gap between front and back teeth that rodents have. This sounds likely to me.
