np... anyway imo the snare and toms should be decent sounding. If the budget permits, invest a little more on a good pair of cymbals. A good crash and ride could improve the overall sound of performances + practices while on the other hand, a screwed-up sounding crash will almost screw up everything. Just ask those who used to practise at Black Widow.

alrite, thanks for the advice.
so would any set of Zildjian cymbals do? or is there any specific type i shld get? cos i don't really know much about cymbals. Except some brands.
what happened at Black Widow? lol

for drums, for such a low budget, the drum shells doesnt really matter that much. important thing is to get it tuned correctly. make sure the hardware is durable. spend money changing the skins. i'll suggest aquarians or remo but i prefer the former. as for cymbals, low end zildjians arent that great. why not drop by js music and test out some staggs? staggs are awesome cymbals for a reasonable price. alot of ppl are getting staggs lately. i even heard jimmy(tempered mental) bought over 5 cymbals of staggs. since its for college, make sure the cymbals u buy are the thick ones as there will be some stupid drummers who dont appreciate and just wana whack the cymbals til they break. same goes to the skin.

What's the cheapest hollowbody I can get? Maybe an Agile or any other cheaper ones.

Thanks!

still looking for a 2nd hand amp.. not so big.. maybe 15-30watt .just for personal practice.. better tell me the spec too.

fellow rockers, help me here! hah.

mateenjohan : get the Roland Cube 15 or the Vox ADV15T, or if you can afford it, go for the Roland Cube 30 or the Vox ADV30T. They are, so far, the best choices

mateenjohan... what is ur budget? it will be easier if u can tell ur budget so we can try adjust things for u

staggy ???? how much it really cost ???
how about Meinl cymbals HL3 ??

Sonor drums !!!!! Sonor Drumm !!!!
waka waka wakaka =)

i don't mind paying slightly more than RM300... the most i can afford is 400.

wanna use for practice and if possible, personal recording. very much into it, alredi making stuff with PC but wanna incorporate MY guitar sound..

alredi searched at bentley but ones i like are wayy xpensive! haha

u mean staggs cymbals? they are insanely cheap. price varies from the model. u can go try them at js music. yes,i said TRY!

Hey, a guitarist friend of mine is asking around how much a decent 7 string guitar would cost.... maybe an Ibanez....... anyone have any ideas???

so for only rm1.5k, is this a good setup?
vox ad30~ rm900
SX LP Standard~ rm600
do i need anything else? where do i get these instruments? Woh Fatt?
is this the best i can get out of rm1.5k?

one more thing, how heavy is the amp and guitar? can i bring it into the plane?
or i need to check into cargo? coz i m going back to my school in penang(i m in KL now)

thanks in advance

The guitar you can probably carry, but the amp might be abit more problematic.....
Are you going to be travelling with the guitar alot? Or just this one trip?

And if you're a beginner...... well...... honestly..... that's a good package. But don't forget..... you're going to have to buy a guitar case, wires, and other misc stuff..... so try to haggle with the store to get these things thrown for free. Sometimes, they do.

Ibanez 7-string? Pretty expensive and quite rare in Bentley. Even the fixed bridge RG 7 cost cost between 2-3k if i'm not mistaken. Unless you talking about Ibanez 7-string GIO which a lil bit more than 1k. That was 1-2 years back. I don't know about now.

Generally, 7-string are pretty rare and doesn't cost cheap. Do Re Mi near Chow Kit that have few dirt cheap (between RM 600-RM 1k) China-made 7-string which have a very rough workmanship in the shape of Strat & RG

If your friend confident about buying online (like you ), you can try Ebay. Careful of Ibanez 7-string ripoff from China. Look almost the same.

Eeek. Will find out more when I'm in Bentley's on Saturday..... you commin' for the Gathering man?

i liked the epiphone LP 7-strings that were made about 5yrs ago.

btw, someone selling a used RG7321 for RM2.5k, those are MIK.
and i remember seeing a used Gio 7-string for RM1k also.

Hmmmmmmm.... 5 years ago...... right when KornBiscuits starting appearing on the scene...... COINCIDENCE?????!!!! I THINK NOT!!!!!

And I think a 2.5k is over his budget......... will have to check with him and see if he can find a GIO.

eh but the epi LP 7-string is nice.
the neck isnt much wider than the normal 6-string, unlike the ibanez 7-strings.
very comfortable, was around RM1.5k that time.

Very hard to find nowadays. Limited run during the nu-metal fever.
Saw some on Ebay. Some are Custom-made by Epi and some are not. So careful yah, afraid you paid a Custom-Shop price for a normal version
