If you are a guitar player or know someone that is, the coming months in our store will be something not to be missed.

It’s the Digitech Bottom Line Sale! 2010

Digitech is an American brand of effects pedals that goes back a long way and is truly in touch with many genres, styles and knows the tone guitar players are after.
Over the next 3 months we will be running demonstrations on Digitech products at some of the best prices you will ever see!

Who gets effected?
From a beginner’s point of view – playing through your amp hearing the same sounds over and over can get very boring and what you need is something to get you inspired
The RP-55, RP-70, RP-90 and RP-155 are something for you to consider. All of these products offer great sounds, easy operation and some very useful tools for practicing. These products are good enough to start rehearsing with your first band.

If you have been playing for a while, you probably have some effects in your rig and you can benefit by updating your current effects. Check out the RP-500 stunning effects with the live player in mind. The RP-1000 is a great new product that not only has brilliant effects and amp models but can be used solely as a switching unit for your existing effects. The analog and X series pedal give you all the power required to form a formidable individual pedal arsenal and remember you will never buy these products at better prices.

For the professional the Digitech always delivers quality and useable tone. To cater for all live situations the RP-500 and RP-1000 fit the bill for live applications without being out of the price range of most players. Some great tools, such as the Jamman looper, you’ll never see this price again, Harmony Man guitar harmonizer and the Whammy are all at fantastic prices this month.

The Hardwire series has really been lauded by pro and semi pro players alike, featuring true bypass the Hardwire series will really blow you away

Pricing for Digitech products will not be this good ever again- that’s why we are calling it the Bottom Line Sale and we will have the our staff on hand to show you how to get the most out of these world breaking products.

See you at the store soon.

Gibson Dark Fire - Available Now!

After a few delays (click for explanation)the Gibson Dark Fire is finally here, and man was it worth the wait. It’s been 18months now since Gibson revolutionised the guitar by unveiling the Gibson Robot Guitar, and now they’ve raised the stakes yet again with the new Gibson Dark Fire.

The Dark Fire features many fantastic features including-

* Burstbucker 3. – Two slightly overwound coils create a raw, airy tone packed with enough punch to cut through any mix.
* Gibson’s New P-90H Pickup – The classic tone of Gibson’s legendary P-90 singlecoil pickup, but with none of the 60-cycle hum. The same high output and sweet treble response that still makes the P-90 one of the most desirable pickups in the world.
* Piezo Bridge Pickup. – Six individual piezo pickups — one for each saddle/string allowing for a stronger and more natural acoustic guitar sound.
* Tone Potentiometer and CPA. – The Dark Fire’s tone potentiometer and CPA have also been redesigned so that turning the tone knob allows a very intuitive and significant change in tone, thus giving you even more ability to dial in your desired tone.
* PerfectSetup™ by PLEK. – a PerfectSetup™ by the revolutionary, computer-controlled PLEK system, which has been acknowledged as the most precise guitar set-up technology in the world today.
* Traditional Flowerpot Inlay – This art nouveau inlay was first used in a similar form on the headstock of the 1911 F4 mandolin, and later on the L5′s peghead veneer directly below the Gibson logo.
* Classic Block Inlays – Made from acrylic and given a unique, carbon-fiber look for an ultra-modern appearance. They are inserted into the fingerboard using a process that eliminates all gaps and doesn’t require the use of fillers. The result is a fingerboard that plays as fast and smooth as it looks.
* The Dark Fire Finish – A dramatic Dark Fire nitrocellulose finish created especially for this exclusive run. It is one of the most striking finishes ever to leave a Gibson factory and is achieved by combining the time-tested techniques of applying a standard nitro finish with several new procedures that help bring out the natural beauty of the wood.
* Dual Black Binding – This accents the Dark Fire’s exclusive finish perfectly and provides both the protection and beauty of traditional Gibson binding.
* Chambered Mahogany Body – Helps deliver near-perfect tone, balance and weight. One of the ways the expert craftsmen at Gibson achieve this equilibrium is by carving carefully mapped-out chambers in the solid mahogany backs of the Dark Fire using a Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) router before the maple top is glued on. The positioning of the routes were first established after careful examination of the resonant characteristics of the Les Paul. Gibson approached this process with the awareness that every change to the formula would have repercussions on the instrument’s sound. The results are comfortable, lightweight guitars that are acoustically louder, with increased sustain and resonance.
* Chameleon Tone Technology – Allows you to change your guitar’s tone to match countless environments and to recreate any guitar sound you ever lusted after.
* Master Control Knob – Completely redesigned with much improved ergonomics and a sophisticated full color matrix display featuring LEDs and high-tech light pipe technology, all to deliver a more powerful and easier to see visual display under any light condition. In addition to the MCK’s top mounted display, LED-lit symbols now adorn its outer edge, which blend with the color of the knob so that they’re only visible when lit. The Dark Fire’s new MCK also controls the ability to change pickups and coils, allowing you the ability to adjust tone and tunings automatically and simultaneously, even several times during the same song.
* RIP – The compact Robot Interface Pack (RIP) interface can connect this versatile guitar to Windows or Mac computers to release Dark Fire’s ultimate tonal versatility — live or in the studio. In fact, the RIP lets you realize the full potential of Gibson’s new Chameleon Tone Technology.

The Gibson Dark Fire comes with Guitar Rig 3, a box to connect it to you computer, as well as Ableton Live! Combine that with the second generation Robot technology and you have great value. The Dark Fire tunes much faster than the original Robot, and has 3 banks of 6 tunings rather than just 6 tunings. It also has 6 built in digital effects to help you get any sound you’re after.

While they arrived today already we have less than half left, so if you’re interested give Music Solutions Warners Bay a call. As Newcastle and the Hunters only 5 Star Gibson Dealer we can offer you the best prices, and the best advice on all Gibson guitars.

Music Solutions are now proud stockists of Seymour Duncan pickups. Long regarded as some of the best pickups ever made Seymour Duncan have something for everyone, no matter what style of guitar or music you prefer. We have dozens of the most popular pickups in store and can order in many more. To celebrate having [...]]]>

Seymour Duncan pickups have been used by everyone from Mick Thomson (Slipknot), Slash, Dimebag Darrell, Richie Sambora, NOFX, Bad Religion, Anthrax, My Chemical Romance, Ben Harper, Smashmouth and many many more.

I recently put a Seymour Duncan pickup in the neck position of my Gibson and I’d never change back.

Sticking a new pickup in your guitar used to be a difficult decision to make. While new pickups can make your guitar sound amazing for a fraction of the price of a new guitar it is still a lot of money for something you can’t hear until you’ve bought it. Seymour Duncan and Music Solutions are so certain that you’ll love these pickups that we’re offering you 21 days peace of mind. Simply buy the pickups from us, play them for week or two, and if you’re not 100% happy with your new tone simply bring them back and swap them for another set! Now that’s peace of mind. If you like we can even install the pickups for you.

2. No need to waste money renting when you’ll have to buy soon anyway.

Why you should rent from Music Solutions Warners Bay

1. No need to purchase an expensive instrument when they may not continue playing.

2. No need to waste money renting when you’ll have to buy soon anyway.

3. Over 30 years experience in selling, repairing, playing and teaching. We know the instrument from all angles so we can help you get the best one for you.

4. Pay no interest. Ever. 100% of what you pay comes off the price.

5. Return the instrument if it isn’t being played. If after 13 weeks you no longer wish to keep the instrument all it has cost you is 13 weeks rental. Much less than the price of an instrument.

6. All instruments are covered by our full warranty. We cover things not covered when you purchase from any other music store, like the pads, corks and springs. The only thing not covered is the lacquer.

So how does it work?

1. Pay a low security deposit. This covers any damage caused to the instrument while you have it. In 15 years it has only been used twice, both times when instruments were thrown against walls. The security deposit comes off the price of the instrument.

2. Send us your credit card information and the rental fee will come out of your account each week.

3. After 6 months 100% of what you’ve paid is deducted from the price of the instrument. Just pay out the remainder and it’s yours. Otherwise feel free to return it for a refund of your security deposit. You can also opt to pay a slightly higher weekly rental to reduce the amount owing at the end of the rental period.
