well , i was chatting with the owner of guitar store the other day...

according to him..

the reason why Dimarzios , Gibsons , Fender Japan ? ,etc are so expensive ..

is because of the Malaysian Mentality . Always thinking about themselves
Bargaining like crazy , Buy also go singapore buy , Always "i want the cheapest" price attitude ..
its been happening for a long time...

and what happened ? Guitar Store , LA floresta , Woh Fatt ? they are not making any money for years ..

he says ..in the end..the consumer are the ones that lose out..
If the local distributor isn't making money , they only gears we will be seeing in Malaysia are Gios , Yamaha, MIC epiphone ...cheap gears that can sell..
they wouldn't take the RISK to bring in products that may not sell..

this few years , Bentley tried bringing in Musicman , Guild , Gretch ..and i think the result is very discouraging..and now Electro Harmonix i heard ?


If they put a low price on dimarzios , the consumers are still going to bargain . that will be worse . so they rather remain overpriced with 10% discount .

i don't really agree with him . but well , i have the Malaysian Mentality . it doesn't affect me . i got a sis in U.S ..so me getting gears not really a problem..

In fact , i kinda love the Overpriced Malaysia . You have any idea how you can make a living . by buying and selling used Musical instruments ? our resale value in Malaysia is quite high , compare to Japan and U.S ...i have seen ESP custom shop strat in ebay going for 600 USD and nobody biding for it

so what you guys think ?

lol yeah thats true .

why don't we make a thread , or a long post .

which brands you think its OK to buy in Malaysia and which we should never touch ..

i will start ..

GO FOR IT!:
Ibanez
Roland / BOSS
EMG


DON'T :
LTD / ESP
PRS
GIBSON
DIMARZIO
MUSICMAN

anybody have an opinion on Fenders , Cort , Epiphone , Yamaha , EHX , MXR , behringer , line6 , Gretch , ZOOM , tech21 ,jacksons ?
feel free to add

Malaysia Overcharges their pickups ..is also related to pickups wurt
we are just comparing pickups prices here and other countries

have you try the original D sonic ? from early 90's / late 80's ...

it is the stock pickup for Ibanez RG565 ..

eh..i got the bridge alnico 2 version..pm me if interested

yes..it can

both of it is around the same price..

the more expensive Dimarzios are usually the artist series , i.e Dimarzio Evo , D sonic
but i would think that medium-low output pickups are harder to find , since a dimarzio distributor would probably bring in more sellable high output pickups

hahaha..dono..but the way dimarzio is marketing it ..

whenever somebody says D sonic..straight away "JP" will comes in the picture ..
anyway , i think D sonic used to Originate from stock pickups found on RG565 ..Dimarzio just created the improved version

i have both the Dimarzio D sonic and the RG565 ...

all i can say .. Bassy ,ballsy pickups ..very riffing ..and very powerful..i think the harmonics for the top strings are awesome too..
the older D sonic has slightly lower output than the new one..
not really my cup of tea cos i prefer a super middy and trebby pickup like evo

most of you all might disagree with me ..

but i think pickups and playing ..are the ones that REALLY affect your tone ..

lousy guitar ? get EMG ..you will be ok ..
lousy amp ? cmon , a dimarzio on a marshall mg isnt that bad ..

a good amp and a good guitar , with china made microphone pickups and bad playing , will never sound good

lol..been there , done that..last time i was hanging out at the 80's shred forum ..i think it was 2004 etc...
used to be quite active , joining the competitions ..UGs top dog and stuff..
that time there was resi , freepower , master of shred etc...all of us got so sick of it ..

we made a small private forum , shredder invasion ..then it died..and dono what happened already
