finding a drummer is easy.
whether hes free or not is the question.
cos usually he'll be tied to quite a few other bands.

finding a vocalist WITH image, now thats hard.

oh...
SLAYER and uhh iron maiden might be coming to singapore end of this yr.

wonder how many salesman plankton irritated

yea i saw those pre-paid mastercards from ambank too at 7-11.
also wondering if they can be used for online purchases, cos not all local cards can.

i just checked with ambank.
the customer service person said can be used for online/overseas transactions.

guess can use it to credit your paypal account now

well i got one of those prepaid mastercards.
have to fill up and send a registration form first before it can be used.
so i'll do that when i have time.

there arent any epi LP with maple caps.
basically all flame tops you see are veneers.
and the regular sunbursts are alder caps.

but now notice how PRS are doing veneers and making it sound classy?

well firstly obviously you dont need to be earning like 36k per annum to get one, well for the good cards at least.
i dont believe in owing anyway, and thats what a credit card does.
if i want something, i pay for it fully.

anyway, just reading up on the card's terms.
theres a RM3 monthly fee so RM36/yr, which is decent enough compared to annual fees of RM90 or so for certain other cards.
for international transactions, there is a foreign exchange/conversion fee of 1% from the value plus a RM1 charge added on per transaction, which again is decent enough.
roughly RM5 for every USD100.

pretty similar to a debit card, cept that the malaysian debit cards arent really recognized worldwide.
this one also allows you to withdraw your cash thru any ambank atms with zero charge, and you dont even need an ambank acc.

well if i do use it, it wont be for local usage.
would be for ordering stuff from stewmac, topping up paypal so its easier to get stuff off ebay etc.

20 strats? why not?
i aim to have somewhere around 20 SGs by the time i'm 50 too.
its like having 20 girls, u know they're girls but they all feel/move/squirm differently

just got sms from a friend in SG.
allan holdsworth will be performing there next monday at the esplanade.

its lyn prob.
cos there is no prob loading other sites.

anyway, i have very strong reason to suspect the fake chinese les pauls have arrived in malaysia.
check this out.

he had a quick buy now of RM2200 which i put in, but of cos it wasnt approved.
i called twice and sms once to ask for the serial number, both times excuse of being outside and no reply.

the description also doesnt match the pic.
plus a search of ebay shows this is the latest fake les paul to be produced.
how to check?
search for gibson les paul, and sort by price: lowest first.

well the problem is.
yesterday afternoon we've already set a meeting at 5pm later today at wangsa maju.
but as of my last sms to request for the serial number last nite, there has been no reply.
i've called couple times today also to confirm the meet, no answer.

for those that dont know, gibson serial number tells you exactly what model and color the guitar is.
apart from of cos the date, day of production, which factory it came from.

and i've heard enough stories of les pauls from woh fatt not being anywhere near 100%.

see told you

anyway, forget that auction.
i'm gonna go snipe a different auction soon.

nooo this time i want a les paul.
any les paul with a 60s neck.

the SGs coming out from gibson now are pure crap.
the good ones are usually guitar center/musicians friend specials.

yea i know.
i actually have a epi LP custom plus fitted with EMGs

i was actually talking about gibson
the epiphone LP necks are nowhere near as thick as a 50s gibson LP neck.
as for slim necks, the most comfortable neck would be the '61 reissue gibson SG

yea gibson necks in general only two different ones.
50s or 60s, but limited to the LPs.
my 70s SG has a completely different neck to the SG standard or even the '61 Reissue SG, its narrower but thicker.
'61 Reissue SG has the slimmest neck of all SGs, with its wide fingerboard it makes it very fast and comfortable.

ok, i've decided i'm going to *try* to like strats again.
so i'm thinking of getting a cheap one to begin my rehabilitation.
either the samick malibu mb-1 or the SX ash strat are my cheap options for RM500 or less.
mb-1 has some nice things going for it, duncan designed pickups, angled headstock, 3-a-side grovers (yea cant get out of my gibson mindset yet).
but the SX has an ash body, yummy

so does anyone have either of them?

at the other end of the price spectrum, i would go for the warmoth/stewmac option and just do a custom one, cept that would come up to easily almost RM3k or more, so i dont think so, cos at that price another gibson is better

and no, do not suggest squier cos to me the samick and SX are better quality.
and i feel the warmoth quality is easily better than some fenders out there.

i might be dropping by woh fatt tomorrow or so to check out the SX strat.
and blacktrix, interested in my extra EMG81?
wanna sell it off to get a EMG60.

the only thing im curious on the zakk lp is how the epi neck feels.
cos i know its not bare like the gibson one, i think theres a very thin coat of lacquer on it still right?

well i've read reviews that says it has a poly coat.
the gibson if i'm not mistaken is just satin oil finished.

either way i was thinkin of converting my epi lp custom to that way.
since its the exact same specs as the epi zakk anyway without the bullseye.
just wanna try it out first to see how its like.

speaking of pickups.
just found out that a SD Livewire is SGD125.
