whats a good metal song to play live cos i got a gig coming ?pls help me.

ps:no double bass

pFFT. Any EPIC Metal Song should have Double Bass!

Otherwise, just go for some Maiden classics like The Trooper or Number of the beast.

Best play something uptempo/headbang-able

Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet?, Sixpounder, Bodom Beach Terror
Trivium - Like Light to Flies, Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr
A7X - Unholy Confessions
Metallica - MOP, anything else you want
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls, Holy Wars, Hangar 18

There are some double bass stuff in there, but you could change a few parts

tx

guvnor and jackhammer both seems to sell out very fast.
woh fatt may have still have stock tho.

wow, i didnt know they were that popular..
i always saw some lying around at the benwtfley at BB...

Well, probably because everyone is flocking to Bentwtfley Damansara instead.

lol true, i myself dun go there anymore as well...
anyway stuff sold in both place are overpriced anyway... so i dun bother too much with what they have there... most of the time it ll only be Window shopping .... lol

Which is why I thought the Damansaras evil empire would have it,
epic waste of time, uber jam and went there for nuts

got to try an sz320
not that great, prolly cuz rusty strings and the toneblaster amp...... errr.... i don't like it =p

Everdying, I have Black Stone Cherry's first album. The only reason why I found out was because they were the opening act for BLS a few years back

And the MXR Wylde Overdrive (ZW44) is a completely different beast then the Digitech Heavy Metal. The ZW44 is meant to BOOST your existing signal, rather then give you a distorted sound. Sure, it distorts your sound abit, but it's not the amount of Gain you'll be expecting.

i wanted to go to that area to check out sax mouthpiece though.. but abit lazy to brave through tht uber killer jam... X___X

fuuuhhhhh.... sweep tap mouu, and the DEMMELITION!

May I know what's the music shop in The Summit?I've a friend who recently bought an Epiphone LP-100 there,but he doesn't know the place.

Haha, very dissapointed with that video. I don't know why i keep screwing up and playing unclean whenever anyone starts recording.

But the Demmel is sweet man! Smooth fretboard, nice balance, good one. The only complaint i have is the upper fret access is not as good compared to my RG.

the one that was said selling fake epiphones in the other thread?


haha.. all jackson V access are like that la, unless those of ESP that have the cut off for easier access

mebbe u shud start off recording urself, n put those vids up on youtube.
later on then u wont screw up when ppl start recording.

Hi,

Just a Q.
I've just restrung nylon strings on fren's classical guitar but it doesn't seems to stay in tune.
First time using nylon string n hav tis problem.The nylon string seems 'lembik' when compared to acoustic strings.Anyone face tis problem too?

Cheers...

I think you need to make a good tie at the tuning peg and the bridge to stay in tune better. And in my limited experience, nylons seems to take more time to stay in tune after string changes.

Nylons are really lembik mahh..nothing wrong with that

Want an axe?

Apparently it's an ESP for sale in ishibashi at RM1.5k++, great for... cosplay?

Heh. Funny that Avril got canceled but acts like Soilworks not a problem......

haha. nice "axe"




luckily din buy the ticket.

btw, do u guys hav like... a limit amount of money to spend on a certain gear?

currently i hav this serious gas, but i just dun feel like spending 5k on a guitar, thou i got the money. err, mayb i'm cheap. my limit is like.... 3.5k at most? so yeah how bout u guys.....

i know blacktrix has very very high budget

I'm budgeting RM5k for my next axe. Either an RR24 or RR-TN02, i'll flip a coin when i have the cash. A huge jump from my first RG which cost RM1.5k. Its all about how much you're willing to spend on quality. Remember, with a higher price comes higher quality.

A ban on Avril saying that her shows 'too sexy'??

"We don't want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models," he said.

They might as well as ban TV lar liddat..



What's the guitar you gassing for? 5k.. Ibanez? Jacksons? Caparison? Show us!!

Again, it's based on your needs. Does that 5k justify your needs for THAT guitar? I wanted the Herman Li Signature Egen, but 11k does NOT justify the needs. But a 5k guitar that is well made, plays like a dream and will last you forever might be more worth it. FYI, I don't have an endless bank account. If I did, you'd see Gibsons and Vintage Marshalls lining up my room already.

Me? I bought the Razorback because I needed a killer guitar that will make people forget I can't play guitar

yea, else i would have a gibson sj-200 right now which is almost rm16k brand new

1 noob question, what are the basic effects that a beginner should get? I've already had Boss DS-2, SD-1 and plan to get a MT-2 real soon. Anything i should get next?

a chorus and then later delay.

flip a coin.... meh....


THIS !
if the price lower a bit i sure straight away grab it. hohoho.


sounds reasonable, but, quote from gapnap, there wont be THE ONE. >.<
* ooops, i sounds like duckie now *



sell some of ur sgs?

for me i'll get a wah. haha.
yea to me, distortion/overdrive + wah = win.

I never said "The ONE"...... I said "last you forever", by that I mean you'll still play it say 10 years from now.

But even I agree there can never be THE ONE for us GASers.

And IpohBoY, like ever say, a Chorus and Delay is pretty important, but I would say go for a Wah! If you're a rock or metal player, you'll almost certainly need a good wah. The dunlop GCB-95 is a good place to start.

On a side note: I have been listening and watching...... but mostly watching..... an unhealthy amount of Paramore..... What can I say...... Orange haired chicks are hot.

Side Note Number 2: Does anybody know where I can commission a custom Acoustic Guitar? Doesn't have to be THAT fantastic..... but I want a custom one for my dad's birthday as I kind of Broke his first acoustic when I was 13 ......

Wow, you're a lucky beginner. When most of us started, we only had enough money to get 1 effect and that was it for the next 4-5 years!

To be honest, I had a good collection of effects before but ever since I got a better amp, the only one I use is the CH1 Chorus. Nothing beats the tone of a fantastic amp, with a good reverb and a touch of chorus for clean lines -> e.g. Strat into a Fender HotRod Deluxe + a touch of chorus - ala SRV!

So, my suggestion is to save your money and get a decent amp and a better axe. Good luck!

i had my squier n boss sd-2 more than 5 years ...... haha

I would love to own one for look sake.. lol

Get a better amp

freeman guitars.
http://www.freemanguitars.com/

tho his prices start at somewhere around rm3k.

unless u take one of his base models which are cheaper then customize it a little.

Aiks. Was aiming around the Rm1500-2000 range actually...... Will have to think of another prezzie then.......

epiphone EJ-200 cos the Elvis one apparently wont reach here for another 2-3 months...!@$!@%$!%^#&@#$!@#!@

Added on August 20, 2008, 10:41 pmbtw, another ibanez just caught my attention.

http://www.ibanez.com/eg/guitar.aspx?m=ART400

has active pickups that use TWO AA batts.

Nice looking bridge

someone pls buy that guitar and sell me those active pickups

looks nice, wonder whats the price range... MIC?

there you go!

666.65 price tag
intentional?

cant u hear it calling?

hmmm...i now notice the pickup selector is in a dumb position.

Street should be around USD 499 range. So we're looking at roughly RM2400 if it's imported via bentz........

If I got it, the first thing would to drill a damn hole and put the selector, Gibson style.

if i got it.
first thing i would do is take out those pickups, then sell the guitar off

?? You choose these over EMGs??

They're MIC by the way.
