(*snicker*) The deciding song that made you pick up the guitar in the first place....... Mine was *bows head in shame* Wonderwall by Oasis....... That's the very first song that made me wanted to play guitar....... But first song that I wanted to solo? Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears. Still hearld as my favorite solo of all time.

woohoo ...new thread....
 ..... well the very first song that make me wanna pick up the guitar is Hotel California by the Eagles or is it Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin ... but that time never really got a guitar yet....so i waited like another 5 years before i got a guitar.... nowadays the one that motivates me to practise are guitarist like Malmsteen, Michael Angelo, COB....never fails to give me the urge to start practising and keep on playing....

Yeah...... Just when I think I'm good enough, I listen to Randy Rhodes, Van Halen, Al DiMeola, Jimi Hendrix........ that just kicks me in the ass and makes me want to play better.

The wierd one, i dreamt that there was a meeting between all the GuitarPhreaks.. n blacktrix was telling ppl the prices of stuff he'll be bringing back from US for us.. aannddd,,, Blacktrix was a girl ! @#@$ damn wierd man.. maybe reading reviews about the Crybaby 535Q all day n looking at the cheap prices in the US made me have that dream.. |

the song that opened my views to guitar is when AAF sang one of michael jacksons infamous songs as their cover songs
 however the songs that i really really wanted to play badly all my life is none other than Mr.bigs Daddy brother lover little boy and Dreamtheaters glass prison  Though it'll take me another million years to master the glass prison intro. sigh. practice anyhowz.

Right now playing back some old Metallica favorites......... Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Seek & Destroy, Memory Remains........ stuff like that.....
Also was playing Creed's My Sacrifice with the stupid DADADD tuning....... but sounds good......... ADDITIONAL POST: Well guys, it looks like the 357 Customs thing is officially a scam. Luckily I was still able to get my T-Shirts out of the deal. What ever is happening now is between 357 Customs and Zakk's management...... apparently some big lawsuit thing..... So dammit.......... will have to save up for that Zakk Wylde guitar next year! No chance of me bringing it back from US...... No More Funds!!!!! I only have like, 300 USD for spending cash, so I can't bring back any guitars back home. My Only hope is for Swee Lee to still have that last Camo Epi for sale next year!

Metallica ey?.. just reminded me. need to learn the solo's b4 Uni starts
so the 357 offer was a scam? Thats a very high profile scami might say.. since it onvolves 357 n Zakk's side. wonder why they didnt think it all out b4 doing the offer, like stocking up guitars etc... well. guess if theres a lawsuit, should last a few years.. been playing around with the wah on my gfx-8.. well.. makes me feel like getting a Pedal wauwahuwahuwah. btw, the RHCP stadium arcadium n dani california distortion is using fuzz right? managed to get a close sound with fuzz , but wanna double check with u guys Relax Criptonox89, there'll always be time to play ur guitar |

Well, no use beating around the bush then.
I'll be going to Guitar Center in LA to buy an Epiphone Bullseye Les Paul IF it costs 799 USD (That's the retail price I see most shops have).... Will probably get the Coffin Case Body Bag to go along with it so I can Hand Carry it on board the plane...... then add stickers and some "minor" damage to show that it's a played guitar and don't have to pay taxes Was planning to get another coffin case like what I have...... but then the weight is just TOO DAMN MUCH!!!!! So will go for a softcase and bring it back. And IF ever 357 Customs send me the guitar, at least I have a camo Les Paul as well!!!! |

blacktrix, since you're buying a guitar in california.
there should be sales tax of 7-8% added on. |

Eep.... Forgot about the Sales Tax...... will see how then loh..... hopefully parents can chip in a bit! hahahaha.....
But yeah, I've been talking to some people and they say that safest route, if you bring a soft case instead of a hard case, so I'll need a pretty good soft case gig bag...... Coffin was the first to come in mind....... and Led_zep, I'm not getting the Camo Les Paul and going for the original Epiphone Bullseye instead....... JUST incase the Camo DOES start shipping! |

Crap. Found out that the Randall amp costs around 500USD..... compared to the 799USD Les Paul!!!!
But the Randall is going to be a b**** to carry home........... not to mention having it modified for our electric current....... So.... it's back to the Les Paul....... hopefully will be able to bring it back from Singapore instead. |

You can always buy a banjo...
If you want a stompbox, get one of those cheap ones that are not available here... or one of those expensive 'boo-teek' pedals. |

if thats so, at least he can start off with a squier tele first. with blacktrix, a squier tele would probably be bought with loose change.
your SECOND option is to bring in a gibson les paul???!!!! wtf man, that should be your first option if u could afford!!!!! everyone, we really do need to rob blacktrix one day. jk |

Yeah. A Les Paul Menace I meant. And technically, my first guitar SHOULD be a telecaster. I traded it for a Strat instead.......
And to me, I would take an Epi Zakk over the Gibson Menace...... but hey..... that's just me...... I will see what happens when the time comes....... I want to get a Les Paul with some binding at least!!! |

490 and 498 gibson pickups arent that great.
but of cos low end gibson anyday, the menace isnt that low end. low end is the melody maker or even the les paul special. now the pickups i'm interested in are the seymour duncan actives that mustaine is using. |

well besides working on the vocals and drums, the whole band has to work on stage presence and crowd interaction. ask sifu led zep for more lessons. |

if u're going to do gigs often, u need to get used to very bright lighting especially big gigs. try to get used to it asap. the crowd wouldnt like to see a guitarist trying hard to keep his eyes open(and with a funny 'orgasmic' facial expression) yet standing still. hehe. u can check out how led zep(eong xien) poses in his friendster!!! (led zep: dont get mad. helping u promote ur band). hehe. or u could check mine out too(in my sig)... and watch the shameless self promo vid. rotfl
practiced for 4 hours prior to the gig???!!! wow, u guys did well!!! no soundcheck is not an excuse. i made eong xien miss his soundcheck and he still did well |

commercial??? lol. thats their single so i guess i can forgive them but i expect some brutal stuff from their new CD too. the vocalist changed his style which i think is good coz the past 2 albums its been quite similiar. chris adler is freakin awesome on drums(as he usually is!)

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Jun 23 2006, 03:28 PM) Well, decided that my first choice will be the Zakk Wylde Epi...... Second choice, if I still have the cash for it, a Gibson Menace........ will have to downgrade both the pick-ups though........... Fixed for greater justice if you're putting EMGs. and no..... I will still buy it in Malaysia..... |

Hey guys.. I need another advice from you experts. I've been looking around for a distortion pedal and stumbled upon the MXR doubleshot distortion and the ProCo rat 2. Now i'm not sure which one should i get? Anyone tried both of this product before? Any advice would be great

If it's anything like the Distortion +, it should give you a more Randy Rhoads sound. Never pay much attention to distortion pedals anyway. So take my comments lightly. |

the double shot is one heavy pedal and if it's too heavy, you can drop to a smooth overdrive for that bluesey tone... having a Stop Over in Hong Kong now. Whoops. Boarding time! smell you all later! |

i use ghs fast fret. one stick can last for 2 years. Mine hasn't dried up yet. And you get a cloth free of charge...
Definitely worth buying although it cost freaking rm 20 |

actualyl what's the usage of the cloth?
recently i'm felt that Joe Satriani is becoming my most favourite artist....fall in love with his guitar's tone.....and with the wah pedal.....as well as its genre of music......anybody got same opinion with me? |

nah i dont use fast frets on the strings or anything.if rosewood, just get some lemonoil conditioner or similiar. for my maple fretboard tele, i just wrap around the strings and run down a few times. same for the fretboard itself , just wipe with cloth.
and no , don't scrape your fretboard, that's much too violent...  This post has been edited by nick_drake: Jun 26 2006, 06:46 PM |

QUOTE(Criptonox89 @ Jun 26 2006, 03:01 PM) recently i'm felt that Joe Satriani is becoming my most favourite artist....fall in love with his guitar's tone.....and with the wah pedal.....as well as its genre of music......anybody got same opinion with me? Satch's good, I'm sure Pix would be glad to read this. I like the album Strange Beautiful Music & Surfing With The Alien although I'm not really a big fan of both albums. If you like Satch, give Andy Timmons & John Petrucci's solo stuff a try, especially AT, who is often compared to Satch. Though I think he's much better than Satch in terms of phrasing, shh... don't tell Pix. |

the shine stays for a week or so. after that u can still see that the fretboard is oily. i use it everytime i change my strings. the oil stays for quite some time. i normally apply it, then leave it for a while.. then qipe of the excess oil.

yea considering ernie ball is already slippery enough, the fast fret on it makes the strings feel worse.

damn thewhacker
well back with my ernie ball strings, and also GHS graphitall. now i dont need to use messy pencil lead that leaves marks everywhere got it for RM14, pretty decent price.  Invented by Rene' Martinez and now available in white non-staining formula. GraphitAll® is a simple but powerful gel-like lubricant. It helps in tuning and maintaining of all stringed instruments. It works well with metal to metal contact with tremolo instruments, too! René first experimented with this lubricant with shop customers before he went on the road. It worked great! The real test was to come with his work with Stevie Ray Vaughan; as many times as he used his tremolo, this was the true test for his invention. It helped Stevie's guitar stay in tune many, many times over. It also helped in the prevention of breaking strings prematurely. René was onto something! He has been using GraphitAll® now for over 25 years. In simple terms, IT WORKS! Due to its powerful anti-friction properties, a little bit goes a long way. The bottle will last a long time and more than pays for itself from 1.) not having to take your instrument to a repair shop and 2.) not breaking as many strings. Your guitar will thank you. Help from a tiny bottle, a powerful lubricant, and René's 25 years of experience. This post has been edited by Everdying: Jun 27 2006, 07:18 PM |

I like Ernie Ball Slinkies because they tend to sound brighter and more transparent to my ears but I just can't stand it when it turns black as quick as an hour! I've read that there're strings that not only sound good but also withstand rust for a long period but they're not available here. I used Stainless Steel strings once, it lasted quite long I think, but in the end it still rust. I don't think I liked the sound of them... couldn't really remember now. |

man i got this problem...
i've been trying to nail ETB for a long time now, and i am still stuck at 61 bpm. the reason? for some weird cause i seem to play bloody lazy on it, make stupid mistakes....miss the string, miss the note, not comfortable playing....etc..e.tc but when i play at 70+ bpm and 80+ bpm i play a lot better and more comforable, mistakes are there but not stupid ones.........and it feels like i am actaully practicing this has been bugging me, i dont know to stick to 61 bpm and slowly work my way up or put it at 70 and slowly work me way from there |

my fav sounding strings were fender nickel coated.
but they break damn fast, so i dont use them. they had a real warm sound. but i've been using ernie balls for a long time anyway, nice compromise. and turning black and rusting are completely different. anyway, even if you play for fun you should be changing strings at least once a month |

Yeah, they aren't really anything special but I love the way they put those bluesy riffs into good use. And that bassist have a killer bass tone.
Great homage to 70s rock imo, the songs are pretty catchy, I got hooked. |

That probably shows that your playing is sloppy when it's at normal tempo. its like my hands become bloody lazy and mistime everything! bah, timing/ rythem problem? Give it a little more time and practise at 40bpm, eventually you'ill nail it and ready to move on to 42/43bpm. |

i need some advice on the marshall powerbrake.
Currently i am using an EXEF load box (non adjustable) to suck some power away (the band is complaining about loudness... ´)...however with 200W the box is not doing enough. I would have to have maybe about 4 of those to drain enough power to crank the amp up.in terms of loudness i think it's not even halved. Would the marshall powerbrake be able to reduce the loudness of an amp by half or more? |

I still do suffer from it, but it aint so bad. I think its cos our fingers aint accustomed to the slow tempo, or more likely its because we are just too darn lazy to practice more but then again, i think practice makes perfect as they say. So yeah, just keep trying..your bound to get it one day. Also, try to find the rtyhm of the tune your learning, to get a better feel of the tune. |

i am trying out daddario stainless steel strings, regular 10s.. its been a week.. my personal opinion is that its juz as similar with the nickel wound adaddrio regular 10s..
but the argument is this.. the bottom 3 strings which is not wounded is still the same.. even the top 3 strings last.. the bottom doesnt.. so wuts the point of making it last? still gonna change it once a month of maybe less.. any opinion?

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Jun 27 2006, 10:56 PM) man i got this problem... i think u have the same problem as i used to have(and maybe now still a tiny little). u've developed speed but not control. too much focus put on speed that it becomes like a sport. im assuming that when u pick up ur guitar and just improvise, that tempo is what u play. only playing at that tempo has become a habit right? i didnt realise i had that problem too until i started playing with more experienced musicians and they told me. mine's not so bad anymore coz they really did drill me making me play everything perfect at the speed they want. well i am sure uve heard it many times, but playing with a metronome is really one of the best ways. u can start byplaying chords. i know it sounds simple, but try strumming chords in perfect timing at a slow speed for a few minutes. record yourself and listen. u'll be surprised how much room there is to improve.i've been trying to nail ETB for a long time now, and i am still stuck at 61 bpm. the reason? for some weird cause i seem to play bloody lazy on it, make stupid mistakes....miss the string, miss the note, not comfortable playing....etc..e.tc but when i play at 70+ bpm and 80+ bpm i play a lot better and more comforable, mistakes are there but not stupid ones.........and it feels like i am actaully practicing this has been bugging me, i dont know to stick to 61 bpm and slowly work my way up or put it at 70 and slowly work me way from there |

Yup, I can't add anything more other than... you're right. Recording is a very good way to gauge how well you play to the tempto, just remember to be brutal to yourself when judging, even a slight timing mistake counts. You're the only judge here and if you let yourself go with simple mistakes, nobody else will pinpoint if for you. It's when I start recording that I realize how sloppy I am and how bad my sense of timing is, I'm just thankful that I started recording pretty early. |

Me too.
Usually in a band situation I would follow very closely to the drummer, if he screws up the timing, I have to follow too LOL! Anyway in my band my bassist is pretty much locked to the drummer and I usually give certain signals/eye contact when to end/quiet down etc... sometimes the vocalist would do the signal job, depending on which song we play.But yeah, if the drummer isn't playing on a certain part, I would usually tap my foot and headbang a little to keep the timing. I realize that at times your foottapping would be synced to the movement of your picking hand. So the tapping is gonna be confusing if you play some complex rhythm, hence the headbanging.

in my opinion, playing to tracks can be easier than playing with a live band.
Here's my opinion from a bassist point of view. Instead of just you alone practicing on a metronome, bring a metronome along when you guys jam. Very often i have seen brilliant guitarists who suck when they play in a band. It's not because they suck, but if the rhythm section doesnt groove properly, then it's usually not the guitarists fault. Usually timing and groove are jobs of the drummer and bassist. So if you realise the band is still abit here and there with the tempo, there is a 90% chance that its a problem with the bassist and drummer. And once the tempo is off, you can be the best guitarist in the world but things just don't fit anymore. But dont use this as an excuse to hantam your bassist and drummer QUOTE(led_zep_freak @ Jun 28 2006, 06:34 PM) Me too. headbanging and foot tapping would work as well. But I've seen some sesat people who headbang to a totally different tempo than what the drummer is playing Usually in a band situation I would follow very closely to the drummer, if he screws up the timing, I have to follow too LOL! Anyway in my band my bassist is pretty much locked to the drummer and I usually give certain signals/eye contact when to end/quiet down etc... sometimes the vocalist would do the signal job, depending on which song we play.But yeah, if the drummer isn't playing on a certain part, I would usually tap my foot and headbang a little to keep the timing. I realize that at times your foottapping would be synced to the movement of your picking hand. So the tapping is gonna be confusing if you play some complex rhythm, hence the headbanging. ....not easy to headbang out of timing...but they can do it...hahaha. And play all wrong of course. So remember; love your bassist and drummer and they will love you back.....Wait, that sounds sooo wrong... This post has been edited by Bassix: Jun 29 2006, 04:41 AM |

well bassist and drummers go together(ok, it sounds wrong). in my former band, if the band practices 3 times a week, the bassist and drummer will spend another extra 2 days just the both of them to practice and nail things down tight.

its hard for me to find a vocalist! keyboardist are rare too... especially those like me who wants keyboardist who can play children of bodom, nightwish and even dream theater stuff. lol. ok, maybe i am asking too much.
as for drummers, i have at least 3 drummers whom i know i can rely on to gig for me anytime. these 3 not only play well, but have decent kits too which is a great bonus. (theyre in kuching, not kl) |

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.

Yeah... it's a youtube stream, you don't get to download it.
If your connection is as slow as ours, pause it and let it load first. Ziggy Stardust vid still not working, darn. |

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.

hey guys, how do you power several stompboxes at once? i remember someone asking about this once but i can't seem to find the thread. I don't wanna use batteries as it is troublesome and i don't think using several PSU is easy too. So is there anyway to just use one PSU to power up several stomp box?

din test the custom. the one i tested was the red LP. forgot which model exactly. i think they changed all the strings cos the LP i tested had brand new strings
The Yamaha stack was cool man.. my fren was the first one to test the guitar since he was shopping for one, he was playing on the Lead channel at first. then he wanted to switch to clean.. so, he pressed the Clean button on the head.. then suddenly, the master volume knob start turning by itself like it was possessed. the volume was so loud, the stack sounded like the big signal horns in LOTR. i was in the keyboard room at that time. when i went out of the room, my fren was having a moderate panic attack. he was turning the dials to 0 damn quick another fren of mine acted quickly by turning off the head. hahaha. damn funny. after that only we knew that the head had presets and all.. such noobs . shortly after that, the chinese guy came n explained to us. we were all like.. OOoooooOoOoo.. had a good laugh i guess they can put like a candid camera for that amp. n see what ppl(who dont know the amp) do |

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? |

Hmm, so what's the benefit of using these pre-paid credit cards? You still got to have money first before you can actually use one. On the other hand, with a standard credit card, you don't even need to have money first, and after you bought something, you can take your time to pay it back, as long as you pay the minimal amount every month (with interest of course, still better than paying one short)
For online transactions, I never had any problems with paypal or credit cards (ordered some PS2 games from Play-Asia before) |

would be usefull for kids like me who dont fulfill the requirements for a credit card application. however, will need to check their charges on transactions. since they dont get the interest from installments.

That's a great idea actually, I should suggest this to my parents to get one for my sis cause we had to go all the way to Inti Nilai to give her money sometimes when she overspends and driving there isn't very fun at all afer a while. My parents never gave her a card cause you know what female will do lah with a credit card in hand. With this we can just bank in here and save a trip. |

I never tried either of them though How long have you owned the strat btw? Heh, who needs a humbucking guitar anyway? QUOTE(noisetrigger @ Jul 4 2006, 01:25 PM) That's a great idea actually, I should suggest this to my parents to get one for my sis cause we had to go all the way to Inti Nilai to give her money sometimes when she overspends and driving there isn't very fun at all afer a while. Don't be such a sexist, the same thing would have happened to any male too, only with car accessories/guitar/gadgets replacing apparels etc. My parents never gave her a card cause you know what female will do lah with a credit card in hand. With this we can just bank in here and save a trip. Errr.... doesn't she has a bank account/atm card? |

While I agree that guys love to buy stuff too but how many shoes, tops, skirts, watches, handbags.....does a person really need? I guess to me, guys are just more responsible with money. We buy stuff too but definitely not at the frequency that females are buying stuff. |

QUOTE(Bassix @ Jul 4 2006, 10:27 PM) yeah. Don't talk about pedals. At least there are different types of pedals for different effects. When you buy 10 of the same thing... Heh what I was trying to say is that they won't understand why we need to have different types of effects and pedals. I know a strat freak collector who has more than 20 vintage strats. Now...how many strats do you need? Anyway why not? One with a 60s neck, one with a humbucker, one with a vintage 60s pickups, one with hotrails etc etc.... the list is endless.

Explain like this:
"Even you bought 10 handbag, the purpose still the same even different brand or material. Carrying thing like make-up, small mirror etc but if I buy 10 guitar or its gadget will produce different tone & sound" |

Yeah especially the Boss ones And you boys are all preaching to the choir. We'd all have multiple instruments of the same model and 15 reserve pedals for each type and have a nice Vox modelling amp, as well as each of the amps that Vox models in front of us, and 1763 different picks if we could.

A guitar ain't a guitar without chips and wear and tear.
Example:  The Tele on the left isn't a Tele. It's a slab of wood with 6 strings. The Esquire on the right is an absolutely stonkingly good piece of work. She's got character and a voice. She's a joy to play. |

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. http://members.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/Deta...oductID=3406685 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%.

Yea, the serial number is very important to tell if its a fake or real. That's why its always good to check the guitar with your own eyes and hands before actually buying it, regardless online or from the shop. Something tells me , from the link you gave .... that the Les Paul is made in China guitar .... his description also doesnt match the pic at all. |

watching good live shows will really motivate you.

hey guys,
checking in from LA. My flight is at 1:55 am.... and it's now 8:36pm on a Saturday. Should be back on Monday Kl time. Sorry led Zep, but they only had the fab distortion for sale in guitar Center, and it was the last one too. Even tried Sam Ash which was across the Street. sorry again. Got cool pics of Zakk's hand (and beer) prints on the rock Walk. And as for the guitar... Well.... i didn't get it. I got a 60 gig iPod instead... figured i already have a les Paul and need an ipod even more... Sorry guys... no Robbing my Place! cya When I'm in Hong Kong! |

is an iPod cheaper in US compared to m'sia or s'pore ?
i'd have chosen the LP (not necessarily a ZW, "just" a custom LP would have been enough) anytime over an iPod, but well... it isn't exactly the same price range either. And it might be a hassle to carry around, etc.. knowing blacktrix and his slight madness about ZW, i'm sure he weighted the decision very very carefully |

Tonight there's alot of gigs everywhere in KL, they are playing before the World Cup Finals kick off. and everywhere is jam like mad, so travel if you have to. |

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.

Ah such trickery...
Deceive us to think you're bowing to Steve Jobs and then suddenly turning around to surprise us. You cunning one.... I can't see the hairline crack, and if it's not noticable, just leave it. If it's opening up, do what Erlewine would do and seep some thin cyano in. And get fuzzy dice knobs, or metal skulls. Oh, edited to add: Congrats!

good one ! i'm really happy for you ! considering the 357 customs offer... you're gonna have two epiphone ZW LP soon, aren't you ? i wouldn't fix a hairline crack... maybe repolish it to make sure the polish covers the wood everywhere, if you're really a fanatic ? And fjooking welcome back, dude ! |

Hehehehe...... Thanks everyone......
Forgot to mention...... I got a Monster Cable gold plated jack, 2 sets of ZW Boomers and a Levy Leather strap to go with it, although I might buy another Leather strap (probably the Planet Waves one) because I find the Levy too short now! Also got the new Issue of Guitar World with Slayer and Zakk on the cover. If anyone read it already, now I want an Este-shlong guitar!!!! Hahahaha..... But US was a blast man. Walt Disney World was FREAKIN' AWSOME!!!! A whole week of nothing but play..... Wake up about 7 in the morning, sleep at 1am...... Just going to the parks and PLAY!!! I probably only saw 65% of what WDW had to offer.....even though we had a week there. Totally enjoyable. And for all you guitar fanatics, make sure you head down to the Walt Disney World MGM Studios park to ride Rockin' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith!! Scary as hell, but totally freakin' fun!!! Wouldn't do it again though. The first laugh literally snaped my head back! Also, will be selling off the EMG-Hz pick-ups from the Epiphone to buy the EMG-ZW set. Will be letting go for RM400 for the set..... the guy in guitar center quoted me a set of EMG-HZs at USD150 a set, so will be selling it off a little cheaper, even though it's literally brand new. Will sell it as soon as I swap in new EMG-ZWs by the end of next month. If anyone interested in buying my EMG-Hz Passives, please PM me. Will post a proper sell page as soon as the pick-ups are removed. EDIT: Since this is the first post of Page 22, will repost the picture again for ALL too see!! MWAHAHAHA!!!

Hahahahaa..... Man, Did I get you guys good!!!!
Monster cable is 35.90 USD..... You do the math. And yes, I'm writing a review for it tonight when I get to play with it more. So far, it has a much treble like tone compared to my LP-100..... kinda like the Truckster..... But once the distortion is cranked up...... this baby is smooth!!!!! Sustain is incredible, although it could use a little more power...... say hello to Active EMGs next month...... Test session at Bentley's will be conducted once the new pick-ups are in..... |

I know....... but I'm an EMG man like I am a Les Paul man...... It's just wired into my system. However, I might get a seymore duncan Jazz humbucker for one of my Strat-copys.

Sorry man...... Getting the 81 and 85 in the set....... plus I get another Zakk Wylde pick! hahaahahaha......
Will go Woh Fatt on maybe a Thursday or a Friday. Oh yeah....... I forgot to talk about Guitar Hero!!! The game is even MORE awsome with the SG Guitar Controller! If anyone wants pics of the controller, let me know. Like those ah Lian girls in Sungai Wang says..... It's damn cute lah wei! It's soooooo tiny compared to a real guitar and it's freakin' light..... so have to get used to it.... But many of the songs perform extremly well with the guitar controller. Now I can't WAIT for Guitar Hero 2 in November! I hope Black Label's new single will be on it!!!!! This post has been edited by blacktrix: Jul 11 2006, 04:51 PM |

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? |

Nope. Totally bare as far as I know. Even if there WAS a coat..... you can't really tell..... So easy to move up and down the fret. The action might be a little high for some, but it's just right for this guitar because I can pull off Pings very easily. Only gripe is that it comes with the standard .10 Gibson strings....... Wish they used the Boomers..... no matter. Bought 2 pairs for this anyway. Will get 'em re-strung when I change the pickups.
Oh...... And I might have a little budget left over, so if anyone wants to buy the pick-ups, just PM me straight. Thanks. |

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.

Well, my dad DID offer to buy me the Camo Les Paul in US when I tired it out...... But I turned it down...... saving the cash for the half-stack..... hahahahaha............
I MIGHT have to go with the AVT150w.... but like I said..... will head down to Bentley and try a bunch of 'em first to see how it sounds. I hear the new Ibanez All Tube Half Stack sounds pretty awsome as well.... and the Peavey Triple XXX...... Wow...... That is an AWSOME amp. |

Man, if there was a Guitar Center in Malaysia, I'd be there every single day!!! Imagine pulling out guitars worth 3000USD WITHOUT being hassled by the staff, and instead, helped to an equally expensive amp and lets you noodle with it until your heart's content! The staff are extremly friendly and helpful and will really go out the way to help you. And as for selection......... well, try everything you imagine....... and then double it. It's THAT huge. It's so freakin' awsome.......... words can't describe. Very hard to go back to Bentley now...... Imagine every single wall high above until the ceiling, all stacked with guitars and amps!!!!! *drools*
Oh, and yes..... The Peavey Triple XXX (Jagermeister limited edition) was one sweet amp. The cleans were done well, and the distortion was nice and tight. But what REALLY impressed me was the Crunch channel..... a beautiful Marshall-esque crunch which would be even sweeter with an overdrive pedal in front of it........ Really impressed with it. Which brings me to my next point....... Does anyone know where they sell Peavey amps????? This post has been edited by blacktrix: Jul 12 2006, 07:13 AM |

Well, for me the ultimate would be a Marshall JCM800....... but I AM open to suggestions. Top of my list right now is the Randall amp (Which is impossible to find in KL) and if possible, the new Ibanez Tube Amp.
Will head over to Bentley once the Les Paul is properly setup to test out a few amps over there...... This post has been edited by blacktrix: Jul 12 2006, 11:29 AM |

There is a Peavey dealer nearby Jalan Pasar that can bring in any Peavey amps for you. As for the price, I believe you will need to pay around RM4k++ for the head.QUOTE(blacktrix @ Jul 12 2006, 10:13 AM) Nah....... 5150 not enough Crunch that I like to it...... No way!!! If anything, the 5150 has way more crunch than the XXX. The XXX (also known as the George Lynch signature amp (little known fact)) aims at a more modern, saturated Mesa Boogie inspired high gain tone. It is way more versatile than the 5150 because the clean is awesome. But most will agree that for pure distortion and crunch, the 5150 is hard to beat. The 5150 is the one that is pretty much based on the Soldano that Van Halen used at one point, which was based on his souped up Marshalls. That said, did you get to check out the JSX? Pretty much based on the XXX. |

I have been playing for more than five years and I still suck!!! LOLI can play rhythm very well but just could not get into lead playing at all. One way to improve though is to constantly try stuff that you can't play. Start with not so challenging stuff then move on to harder stuff as you improve. It will take time but keep at it everday and you will get it sooner or later. |

Why? Korea makes good stuff too you know........ You're being wood-racist man!!!! Hahahahaha........
But all honesty, American Workmanship isn't all that it's cracked up to be either you know..... Sure....... they have a high workmanship in terms of guitars....... but just BECAUSE it's made in America, doesn't mean it's the best. Korea (and to some degree Japan) also makes excellent guitar related stuff there too........ |

i bet it wouldve been so much diff if someone told you its a korean made prs body... or a korean made jem body...lol
everyone is biased in some way... imo its all about the assembling of the gat and the fine tuning that matters.... so i guess it wouldnt really make a huge difference the bodies are machine-made anyway (useless you go for the "custom" US made bodies...LOL) |

between 92-94 there were korean made fenders.
technically they were squiers, but the ones from those yrs had fender as the main logo, and squire series in small. then of cos the squiers all came after that til the production got too expensive and had to be moved to china. and whats MN?

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 13 2006, 05:13 PM) between 92-94 there were korean made fenders. I just saw it on ebay couple of weeks back. It's called the Fender Lite Ash MN stratocaster. At first i thought it was a scam, but those things are around. And it looks very suspiciously NOT fender....technically they were squiers, but the ones from those yrs had fender as the main logo, and squire series in small. then of cos the squiers all came after that til the production got too expensive and had to be moved to china. and whats MN? Example I dunno if its a real fender or not. It just states "Fender" on the headstock and i'm not sure if there's a serial number somewhere. In ebay germany going for about 2k....thats alot for a fake fender.... |

And with US made bodies and necks, you're just paying US worker wages for what can easily be done elsewhere for much less at the same quality. Don't let the US elitism cloud your judgement.

well the ash series strat in a real fender.
i was actually looking at that model earlier today on the fender website. falls under fender's american deluxe series which explains its high price. think what that guy on ebay has is a older model, cos the current ones dont have seymour duncans. yet no idea what the MN means |

No "stratocaster" or "made in korea" or some serial number....And the neck bolt on plate also states nothing. I have seen Ash strat series. But i'm still not very sure about this model. Somehow it's different also because of the MN that stands after it....weirdi was actually looking at that model earlier today on the fender website. falls under fender's american deluxe series which explains its high price. think what that guy on ebay has is a older model, cos the current ones dont have seymour duncans. yet no idea what the MN means |
