At this price it's very tempting..umm..

Just curious, did you find the time to try out the other multiefx there? Like the x3 or M13.

Ah well, we all live in a GAS GAS world.............

But after my Razorback, no more guitars for awhile..... have to buy a new PC to replace my Lotsa problems one.

..... that is until I start getting my new paycheck

awhile in blacktrix's time is around the span of a month, in which after that he will most problably buy a john lennon replica.

Pffttt.... I can probably buy the John Lennon catalog!

holy shit. how is it?
its so bloody tempting..475 off its normal price!
did you try it first?

THIS IS OBSURD THE RECORD SHOP IN IKANO POWER CENTRE DOESN'T HAVE TRIVIUM'S NEW ALBUM!!! NOOOOOO

Haha chill bro, it just came put today. You'd probably be able to get it after Raya. And that album starts off awesome, but gets disappointing towards the end (excluding the last track).

word.

Death Magnetic is still better IMO.

Nah, as Ever said, Miley Cyrus's album is better than DM. Haha..

Is the limited edition version of Death Magnetic selling in KL? The Coffin Boxset is selling for 99 euros in france. Looks freakin' killer

freaking expensive too :S

nop, but gapnap sometimes have them

Good news for me haha!
I finished downloading Trivium's whole album ..
Im on track 4 right now ; Into the mouth of hell we march

erm, u dun fund urself.

Dude, why so late? That came out like more than a week ago!

Dude i dunno about the leak..

i am anti line6, so didnt bother to try them out.
apart from the tonelab LE, i was only considering Boss / Roland.

Anti Line6? That's a first Any reasons why?

they're overpriced with lousy build quality.

damm. tat hurts. T-T
lousy build quality eh... quite solid ar.....

u didnt notice wat i was comparing them with ah?

roland / boss are built like tanks.
the tonelab is also almost built like a tank.

line6 all plastic everywhere.

My tonelab feels like it's built more like a tank compared to the GT8..... We put it side to side during our last few jam sessions and it really LOOKS tougher.

I guess I have one less brand to GAS about then.

Selamat Hari Raya to all .
Have a good one.
Drive slowly when you guys balik kampung

more like drive a huge ass 4wd built like a tank to balik kampung.
drive slow or fast theres no guarantee other idiots on the road will.

i swear if i had the mustang from the death race...every day there will be one less idiot on the road...

oh.... i see....
ya from the price ckmusic is offering now, i'm tempted to buy 1 to play around with. mebbe sell my xtl.
hehehe dam gas.

Mmmmmm..... Death Race Mustang.....
And Selamat Hari Raya to all our peeps as well.
Don't feel the spirit at all here in Milan though

I also realize that when i'm back, Spruce guitar might be closed for the Raya holidays....... which means I can't pick up my razorback so soon

Cheer Up Black, time flies and when you realized it you will be 60 :S

Darn! Confirmed it. Spruce Guitars is closed until Tuesday!
Looks like I'll have to wait another extra few days!!!!

sigh......................................................................

Hey fellow guitarists,
I'm thinking of changing string gauge
so I'm curious what gauge and what brand of strings are you guys using?

Oh yeah, does playing style affects wat string gauge to get?
I'm into blues lately and love bends n vibratos

Thnx

What guitar are you using and what gauge are you currently on?

But changing strings won't affect as much as you might think, unless you find bends and hammer ons lacking,...

i'm using ernie ball's regular slinky, 0.10s.
to me 0.09s strings doesn't feel as good as 0.10s to me while bending and vibrato.

I'm not sure what string gauge I'm using
guitar is yamaha pac, strat style
I think it's the same gauge as it was from the store

yeah I'm thinking of 10s too
anyone tried d'addario?

Go here: http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14222045/vids_1.html

Zakk and Hayley Williams videos are up on their upcoming appearance in Guitar Hero.....

god, Zakk looks so out of place!!!

Oh, and 320cbr, I would suggest D'addario XL Nickle Wound Strings, gauge .10 - .46. Costs around RM20 (or cheaper) a pack. I used to use D'addarios for my RR3, but switching to Dunlop.... specifically the Zakk Wylde set, because a) they sound heavier to me and b) Because I'm a Zakk Wylde whore
The Medium gauge is 10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46 which I will install in my RR3 and upcoming Razorback, while I use the heavier 10, 13, 17, 36, 52, 60 gauge for my Les Pauls.

How different would 10-60's be compared to 10-52's?I've thought of changing to 10-60's but I bend and vibrato a lot so I'm kinda reluctant to switch.Bad experience from 11's,haha.

u will definitely need to reset the guitar.
60 is huge, 52 is still somewhat ok.
and if u use a floyd, forget it.

waaa.................looks like im the onnly guy who uses .9 here.

i never bothered to change it, ever since my first guitar.tone's ok with me everything is ok with me. thats what 6 years on the 9's.

i'm using ghs 10-56 Dave Mustaine Signature Progressives® (Electric Gtr. Strings)

love them
but kinda hard to do bendings

nola, ur not alone
i'm using .9 too, more power metal!

I'm using .9 too. Never plan to change

I admire the tone SRV makes with 13s gauge strings
that inspired me to go heavier gauges

ofcourse, I don't have strong fingers to play 13s... ^^"

Alot of beginner's mistakes are using too thin strings, then switching up to thicker strings and find it instantly hard to bend. I started with thick strings and going to thin strings are too easy and I usually over shoot my bends

.9s are great for shredding though... I have to admit.

for floyd rose guitar, do we need to get it setup when we change the gauge from 0.09s to 0.10s?

if yes, then i guess i will send my ibby to ng again, with the tremol-no setup i hope. haha.

Haha maybe that's a good way to build strenth?
lets say, change to 11s then switch back to 9s

Speaking of which, I used to use .49-.11 on my lp before going to .42-.09
.11s sounds a wee bit thicker, plays real nice for bluesy stuff like gary moore

since i used a guitar with a floating bridge, i have been using .42-.09s since
initially it was quite hard to control the bends but it's all good now
tone wise its only very slightly thinner and brighter, but you can go on playing for hours

11s tire me out of after about 2 hours or so (with alot of bends and vibratos)

at one point my fixed bridge guitar was on .49-.11 and my floating bridge .42-.09
changing between gauges was pain in the *** so....
i'd suggest you choose a gauge and stay there.
.10s is actually a good balance of tone and playability i guess


p/s .56 - .13 on acoustics are awesome xD

My feeling is that it's best for starters to start with a lower gauge strings, then gradually increase the gauge when you feel like it. I think a thicker strings definitely increases tone and feel, but don't force yourself on thicker strings. If Iommi can play all those eeevvill riffs on .08s, why not you?

Generally my rule for electrics is that I use .10 and .11 on 24.75 scale guitars, while .9 or .10 on 25.5 scale guitars, also depends on the tuning.

I started off with 10-52s, never looked back since. Great thick lower strings for those chugging riffs, and thin higher strings for soloing. I cant use 9s, they just feel so weak and lifeless.

high 5 fatboythin. im on 10-52's as well 9s are too thin for me but 11's are fine

wah, everyone so macho using 10s or 11s!

I'm like DeadEye and t3kk!...sticking to good ol' 9s...love 'em!

Pfffttt/.... .60 FTW!!!!
You can really feel the diff from .42 to .60 when you're doing drop D tuning stuff.

One finger barr chords sounds freakin' heavy.... even more so because it's a les paul.....
