voila!!!!! congrats 4 v11....

high-5!!! woohooo!!

nice to have a new version guys...congrats

i recently tripped over a STAGG L320 (les paul copy) quite cheap and looks not bad... how about it guys...
i found one bad thing about it from some online reviews that the sustain of the tune is bad... can you explain this to me in words a beginner can understand :-P

and in general what do you guys think about it for a low budget and beginner person like me

This post has been edited by sam325: Nov 21 2010, 12:43 AM

ive been a beginner b4 an yeap,been in ur position now....
4 me,there's a few gud n cheap guitar 2 b tested out there.craftsman,washburn,ibanez gio,all pretty good 4 their price.bt yeah,i actually regret dat i didnt save up 4 a better guitar dat time n ended up stucked on funding 4 other guitar.

sustain is about keeping up d sound after you pick a note or strum your guitar.go listen 2 slash n andy timmons,n u'll get wut i mean easily.

V11 !! WOOT

WHAAAAAT? no traditional post count!?

sustain = how long the note can last

its one of the harder thigns to test in guitar really, on of the ways is to unhook your guitar from the amp and then pick a string while counting how long the note lasts, following that press the 12th fret and pick that same string and count. this will test the acoustic sustain of the guitar.

the problems of testing sustain is that normally you are in a noisy environment (by far most major guitar shops are noisy as hell), you have to keep track of how long the note lasts.

however there are also other factors "eletric" sustain comes from pickups, more powerful the longer but it doesnt mean better. my fender has the best natrual acoustic sustain while my blackjack has the best eletric sustain.

other things that cause issues are amps, better amps better sustain.

but the reason why people b**** about natural sustain soo much is that its the basic, so if you have natural sustain you can swap pickups or amps for better "eletric" sustain.

what's up with the numbers?

number of post in d v10 thread....

Guys!! Where can I find Peavey dealers in KL? or any shops that sells lots of Peavey amps. tq.

nice v11 feel proud to be part of v10
check out guitar store and ask either for sean or kamal, pretty good teachers. versatile too

ARGH! just out of the top 5. i am disappoint.

btw what reverb pedals do you guys use? My little vox only has tone and volume controls so I'm looking for a reverb to go with it. Was thinking either the malekko chicklet or digitech hardwire reverb, since I can't afford a strymon and I really wouldn't need all the tweaking possibilities..



but i'm already pretty set on the malekko. i mean look at it, its PINK!

anybody bought anything from www.rondomusic.com? if so mind telling us how clean and fast are they to deliver to malaysia... and anybody planning to deal with them?

the gears in general looks interesting and definitely cheaper than local stores (if combine shipping)

any comments?

Wah , you survey all the way to rondo . lol .

It is never worth it to import just one guitar by yourself , especially at your budget .
Wait for 1st December Clearance sales by local stores lah .

yeah you are right and am not expecting to collect people to combine the shipment then we will fall under the customs taxes hehehe...

so the best is to wait to December like you said.. some of them already started the year-end promo by the way

Music master got year end sales?

Rolflol.
Let's hope have?

wha only 22 posts.. i thought i posted more lol.

Damn, terlepas 1st oage! Anyway, I wanna ask you guys, what amps would you recommend with fx loop or pedal friendly amps? I finally tried the Morisson amp I talked about in the previous thread, my rupanya my POD is a fu*king beast, haha. Didn't buy it though cos I find it a little too expensive for a China amp.

get a cheap all tube amp lah.
i hooked my pod x3 to my tube amp and they sounded awesome!!!
multifx/amp modelers these days are damn good!
enough for me as a bedroom guitar wanker.

We don't for our products . But we are participating outlet for some companies . (which means got lah)

RV7 is definitely more versatile, but I love my chicklet

woo im on the list!
bangga :')
btw LYN,which is better,Epi Dot or Squier Tele Custom?

don't think I need that many functions for reverb, as I normally either dial in a bit, or go full hall and get those U2/Kings of Leon sound.

Chicklet sounds goooooood. and its PINK!

btw where'd you get yours from? I'm gonna try to fetch one from Singapore.

Wah, guess I'm too late to wish congrats on V11. But congrats anyway.

Looking forward to more insightful contributions from all of you in the future.

The EHX Freeze sounds interesting xD

What do you guys think?

I'm planning to pick up a few things by the end of next month... at the top of my list would be these

1. Fulltone GT500
2. Cioks Schizophrenic Power Supply
3. A wah. Possibly a Crybaby or a Morley. Something used would be better.

I want a HT-5 actually, but still, its a very long wait for that.

i request a bad horsie

need to ask another ques here..
They are hairline scratches on my guitar.. how do i get rid of them?? i tried polishing it but theres still some of it..

Am looking to mail order a pickguard for my Fender Jaguar. Aside from StewMac, can someone recommend
a good, efficient supplier? Cheers

Hairline scratches? Take it to a good auto detailer to be buffed out with a quality polishing compound.

this 2 guitar diff style wor..
one is semi hollow, warm and organic tone. suitable for jazz.
squier tele custom? the one with humbuckers? not really sure. but normal telecaster with single coils
got the tone that is full of characteristic. wild.
just telling u wat i know =P

gibson's top 10 riffs of the 80s.

# 10. Rush, "Limelight"
# 9. Guns N'Roses, "Sweet Child O' Mine"
# 8. The Clash, "Should I Stay or Should I Go"
# 7. Michael Jackson (featuring Steve Lukather), "Beat It"
# 6. Judas Priest, "Breaking the Law"
# 5. Def Leppard,"Photograph"
# 4. Scorpions, "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
# 3. Ozzy Osbourne (featuring Randy Rhoads), "Crazy Train"
# 2. The Rolling Stones, "Start Me Up"
# 1. AC/DC, "Back in Black"

Added on November 23, 2010, 3:00 pmeric johnson recorded cliffs of dover with a gibson es-335...basically the epi dot is a cheaper version of it...
that says enough

This post has been edited by Everdying: Nov 23 2010, 03:00 PM

currently listenin 2 scorpion - sails of charon.uli jon roth was superb...diz makes a yngwie....

okayyy..how much will it cost??

lol true.
but i would use the guitar for more of pop punk and blues (i play many genres)

so i was thinking which would be better suited.
i like the look of the squier,and the playability,and the neck is just amazing.
but the epi is perfect for damn near anything.
so which one,or even...both?!

guys, advice me on this okay.

I will get my first Electric Guitar(from parents) next month.
Then maybe:
Option 1:
january/february buy a 1x12/2x12/4x12(depends on budget) speaker cabinet connect to my Roland MicroCube for live gigs. Then maybe end of year buy a amp head.

Option 2: January/february buy a 75w combo amp. most probably peavey/Line 6

What do you guys think about that?

hi,

i need advise. I jst started playing the acoustic guitar. It was on medium action before setup and i'm gonna set it to low action.

However, there's this other thing. string gauge. It's stock on 12. Stick with it or go 11 or 10 extra light? It's a dreadnaught.

I mostly finger pick.

You're selling guitar right? and you don't have a guitar by your own?? thats funny.
haha..

depends on the type of sound you wanna go for in your music.
the lighter the gauge,the brighter the tone you get outta your guitar.

??

why do you need a speaker cab when the micro cube has only 4 watts? based on my understanding unelss the speakers have got lower power req, it would be worse

get a combo,

come on la.. I'm 15 FFS.. I order guitars for customers using my DAD's money.. ==

really bro? i didn't know that.. it's very lucky for you to sell guitar man.. at that age..

yeah... the only bad thing is I am in sabah.. shipping to KL is expansive..

LOL... selling it to sabahan's then.. shud be better since there isn't much guitar shop there.

but make money right?
how did you start out with the business dude?and how long already you doing?

just started.. like 1 month ago? quite hard la bcause got gapnap and DEG..

i am surprised Axel95
good job

plus you are one of the guitar advisors, i think you are the best to know what do you want for yourself lol

keep it up

Thanks bro. I also want some adults advice.. u guys got more experience.. hehe

i just came back from a second hand store... it happened that i found a good working condition PRINCE AMP 35W the price tag was RM190...
i assume that was a good price..

what do you guys think?

35w amp for 190?
what?
wait,what's the amp for?
ask why did the earlier seller sell the amp.
if he say cz never use bla bla bla,caution dude.
might be broken.
get someone to follow you to the store,a pro.
ask him to determine whether it's worth it.
pics would've helped though.

its a shop for second hand goods so it was not really possible for me take any photo

something else it was the amp that the shop use it to try the other guitars for sell right there

i was attracted by the price and the condition

at the same time i found some other amps 15w and the price was slightly over rm100

it was confusing thats why i needed to ask you guys

duno about you but prince amps are generally damn cheap

they are like the kapok of amplifiers

Hey guys.. does anyone know what song was he playing??

fixed

sorry abt that..

I know its not, but it reminds me of Another kind of green by john mayer. I feel it has the same vibe.

Cost of buffing a guitar body at a autodetailer shop? I have no idea whatsover. If you strip off the hardware
for them, it shouldn't be much.

Agreed with +3kk! there. RM190.00 should be acceptable price for Prince amp although you could ask whether they could reduce the price a bit. Their price is not usually fixed. Used to have Prince Adder 15w when I first started playing electric guitar. Clean quite decent but the in-built distortion is horrible. Probably due to my Maison guitar as well.

Okay. Wah showdown.

Morley Bad Horsie vs Dunlop Crybaby 535Q/95Q vs Wylde Crybaby vs Ibanez Weeping Demon.

if i got dough i go with wylde.. but i dont have so i use vox.. lol

Used Wyldes are around 400 But why Wylde?

the sweep says it all.. but that is just me la... this kind of thing usually personal preference.. i suggest u go try all then decide..

my vote....bad horsie....

CRAFTSMAN GS100 or AGILE AL2000
which one is better in terms of sound and wood quality and the most important the price (which one is cheaper hehehe)???

sorry la asking too many beginner's questions... just trying to build up some knowledge :-P

What compressors/sustainers do you guys use? Planning to build up my pedal collection

ESP>Wah?>Compressor?>Fulltone GT-500/MXR Doubleshot>Electro Harmonix Metal Muff> Chorus/Flanger/Phaser>Delay?> Noise Gate> Amp

Priorities are the Fulltone/Doubleshot for lighter distortion, then the Compressor, the Wah, then a power supply then the delay xD then whatever else xD

I have the Metal Muff for my heavy distortion already... so yeah.

I'd go for the very common Dunlop !

used to own a MXR super comp

never used it much ended up in the cupboard collecting dust, i dont understand the requirements of it tho. its imp live and recording la but those things reduce dynamics man

This post has been edited by +3kk!: Nov 24 2010, 11:45 PM

compressor/sustainer i like the pigtronix germanium gold.. haha my stuff is all online cause that is cheapest for me.... that thing looks good.. i'm getting in for my own xmas gift..

Dunlop, cause it's really versatile, but I read reviews stating that it has some hardware issues. can't remember the specifics though.

never tried a morley, would like to though.

the wylde crybaby's sweep feels kinda limited, doesn't do funk or that hendrix thing very well imo.

out of the list i'd go for the crybaby 535Q.

if i'm on a tight budget I'd get a vox 487A wah, not much difference compared to an old original vox wah. and if I have the cash I'll go for a RMC wah, which one I still haven't decided.

True dat, my friend bought the Dunlop 105Q and when he got back home, it had some issues and he had to send it back, haha.

i saw someone commenting that lighter strings give brighter sound which i think the fact is not like that.
heavier string gauge just got better sound and since the tension is higher, the sound is brighter and volume is bigger.
else why ppl would get a heavy gauge string to torture themself rather than the light string gauge that plays and sound good?

famous fingerpickers uses heavy string gauge, eg. Kotaro Oshio uses Dean Markley 0.12.

its up to your preference though, i started playing on a 0.12 and when i try lighter string gauge afterwards, it feels so much less power
and everything just feel weak to me. volume etc.

any suggestion?

but im looking for that suitable for hardcore music...6(sXe)9

kinda luv to have LP style....

or any nice guitar budget 800 below (guitar only)

I would recommend a Ibanez GIO series.

or up your budget a little and get an epi.

i think its more that with lighter strings, the bass doesnt come out as much so its perceived as being brighter.
heavier strings it brings out more of the full range.
then again, depends what brand and material the string is made from also.

epi what model?

i see some epi like special II...is it good?

Dreadnought guitar should use at least 12 gauge. Normally people choose strings gauge based on the type of the guitar. Dreadnought guitars are built and designed to be played with medium gauge strings because dreadnought can handle greater tension than other smaller size guitar. I do not recommend light or extra light gauge strings on your dreadnought, they barely resonate the soundboard, you gonna sacrifice the sound of your guitar. So, stick with the 12 gauge.

If you like LP shape, can try Cort TS-100. Below RM800.

Muaahaahah
OK Bye.

Ibanez GIO dah cukup makan la tu...

ok...nanti aku tgk GIO tu..thx anyway...

This post has been edited by AsTheCreatorZ: Nov 25 2010, 02:10 PM

ya..i think rm800 can get it...but at sarawak,i dont know la...or you take this...cheaper and not bad

erm...later i go shop n compare the price with peninsular..is this epi special?i dun mind to find old model....even 10 years old...

If i had a 10 yr old guitar.. i won't try to sell it even if i need the cash.. treat it like a vintage/collectables.. not anyone can get a Korean made epiphone nowadays.. hard to find

sx,squier if below 800.
if you want lp style,splurge 1.8k fr an Epiphone from deadeye or gapnap. (:

Added on November 25, 2010, 5:06 pmi use a 10 gauge.
use it without acoustic pickup for preformace at school in front of around 300 students.
still sounds pretty damn good

This post has been edited by russellhere: Nov 25 2010, 05:06 PM
