iPod versus Les Paul...

besides, iPod prices are set to drop.. you can buy them later.

how come less update in this forum.......everybody went to swee lee? haha

Sweet Child O' Mine from Taylor's Musical Night, uploaded from my dad's cam. The original sound wasn't that bad, I recorded it from the cam using a cheapo mp4 player. Youtube made the quality worse, so it doesn't sound as bad as it seems at the end.

dude, that seems like a great gig! although the sound was pretty screwed up, but i could hear and feel the energy from your playing

Hope you enjoyed it.

The song sounds alright I guess, still loading. Anyway I think they would look better with short hair lol, no offence.

No no, the sound is alright, it's not THAT bad. The format conversion and Youtube screwed it up lol! Still waiting for the damned DVD, that one has decent sound I can assure you. Thx for viewing anyway.

i could only hear your guitar. great tone man.

Thanks, yeah... it's much better standing only a few centimetres away from the amp.
Anyway on the camcorder I could still hear a bit of bass and the drums are clearer. Oh well...

Reuploaded Ziggy Stardust :

Downloading to my PC now. Will watch it tommorow night or another night.

yesterday went to CK, JS, Bentley, Chambers and the Yamaha shop at kl plaza..
went to JS first, n Jaya Satriani was demoing the line6 head, really cool amp head, with all the effects etc. theyve got almost all the new ZOOM models, the G7.1(dun really remember which model exactly, but i think its this one) was going for 1300~

Then went to JS, tested the Vox Wah there.. i didnt like the distortion on the pedal.. the 3 wah sttings; Mo, Lo, n CBY way models were almost the same. the other two were a bit different. i tried a few settings with the Q n diff models then went off to Bentley. the price was listed as rm600 n after discount rm500, Last model etc etc..

At Bentley, my fren tested 2 ibanez guitars, i think one of them was the SZ n the other one looks abit like a les paul. the SZ neck was quite nice, easy access to higher frets bcos of the set neck n the string was thru the body. nice long sustain.
Then i tested out the 535Q Chrome since they didnt have the normal 535Q's in stock.. All i can say bout the pedal is, i like it . the pedal's sweep was bigger than the Vox V-wah. The Boost button was a plus, but the switch is on the side, so i think it would be a bit hard to switch it on off when your playing but it supposed to be set b4 u play it i suppose.. the range settings were a LOT. n i could get the very high n low frequencies, for funk n distortion. the wah on the higher notes could be heard, unlike the wah in my GFX8. tested it for a while then shot off to Yamaha. the price for the normal 535Q was around rm500 quoted by the salesman.

At Yamaha , tested the Epiphone LP, rm2300 through a Yamaha stack. really nice n chunky sound after discount was rm2000.

At Chambers, tested the Yamaha AES through a Cube 60. to me, i felt that the AES sound was a bit thin. the fretboard finishing was a bit bad i think.. but maybe i was spoiled by the LP i tested at Yamaha .
After Chambers went home but the stupid Summit traffic light jam kept me waiting another 45 minutes to reach home.

btw, i went to 7 Eleven on the way back, and noticed they were selling these Prepaid Mastercards from Am Bank . u get a mastercard, an du top up the value like a phone prepaid. max rm10,000. and the good thing is, u dont need to have a fixed salary n the approval is guarenteed .. *off to look at online guitar offers*

Prepaid debit cards, eh? That's a pretty good idea. Just check to see if you can use it online. I've had some trouble before with regular credit cards.

led zep, youtube did mess up the sound abit... but that day the live sound was pretty bad too

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.

lol.. i always apply my "when can i get it" or "can i contact you when i want to place my order" skills. so far so good. yesterday was quite a marathon

yup.. dunno bout the online transactions. guess will need to ask them n clear it out. but if its possible, would be a really good alternative

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
