I have no idea about watches. no budget.

Gibson is going crazy.

Anyways, a guitar inspired watch should have a tuning peg to adjust the time, Brazilian rosewood body and frames made out of ernie ball strings that rusts after 3 days. tongue.gif

Sticky as in the nitro gets all over your shirt when u play ka? That's very troublesome isn't it?
*
Hmm, never had any sticky issues with my PRS with nitro finish. The headache is that you gotta take real care of the instrument because dents happen quite easily with it. mine's a working guitar hence there's wear and tear on it.

QUOTE(freakfingers12 @ Oct 12 2015, 11:23 PM)
ehhh. try the blackstar fly 3 amp maybe? seems cute.

Anyone here tried those mini tube amps from peavey? I know it's China made but I'm curious how it performs.

I know it's not everyone cups of tea, but only nitro finished guitars ages beautifully.

Did PRS use nitro? I always thought they were using poly.
*
Only some PRS. They will issue you some cert for it to make you feel better.
Haha but I agree it ages alot more beautifully. I'm definitely not one of those who would be paranoid about scratches. A guitar is supposed to be used and aged. Even PRS' signature on the backplate to access the switch selector is fading off on mine.

So you going man? Should I bring my guitar? I've never been to a guitar clinic.  tongue.gif

Last minute asked by boss to go travelling.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Oct 14 2015, 09:57 AM)
u and like 20 others probably will bring their guitars there.

Apparently no meeting him after that as after his clinic he is rushing to catch his flight. so see him on the tiny stage then bye bye! First time I've heard of a guitar clinic with no meet and greet after.

damn line 6 is getting quite good

the fire hawk seems damn ganas, connect to iPad, downloadable patches, huge amounts of effects and stuff


*
i think Line 6 makes good stuff for the prices. However lately some of their newer stuff isnt so cheap and fancy add ons like ipad connections, etc I feel can start to get a lil silly. More and more effects? reminds me of the POD XT Live days from when they charged $ to pay for additional packs to suddenly having it all available. Then I like it when they went to HD because there was a big improvement in the quality and only focused on 16 amps or so (which to me, you wont use all, and if you have 16 choices of good amps and still cant get what you want you're a horrible guitarist). Their new pedal thats supposedly to go head to head with axe fx still doesnt quite cut it from the samples I've heard.

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Oct 20 2015, 11:30 AM)
lol, but cant be helped ma

last sunday also, help a friend in wedding, the cousin or something like that is singing. mic got problem, "mixer" is just a vol control. I'm surprised she sounded not too bad

go to another wedding to perform for a friend also, no 1/4 jack input, the keyboardist is like wtf who doesnt use a 1/4? (she doesnt have an amp) so they had an XLR - 6mm converter

i had my trusty amp, ended up cant keep up coz volume to low  laugh.gif
*
oh weddings! weddings you better have a bag of cables and funny converters for your cables. Even a small 4 channel mixer would save you most of the time. Countless of times I get last minute phone calls from church members cause of weddings.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Oct 20 2015, 11:07 AM)
well, its all just flavors of the week/year/etc.
if just want to plug and play, something smaller will do anyway.
or if u dont want to lug around ur stack, can always buy a lunchbox amp and also plug into PA.
*
gotta agree. Lunch box amps now mostly come with XLR output too. Check out those Peavey amps. Even Mesa's Mark V mini has built in cab clone DI out.

I'm a little divided about digital multifx processors like Line 6 even though its mighty tempting. Its definitely flexible and convenient to have an entire rig compressed into a pedalboard and at your beck and call, but my main gripe is continuity. These things are very much like PCs in the sense that they cost a bomb upon release, but 2-3 years down the road there's gonna be some super duper new upgrade that's gonna make the old one obsolete. And here u r stuck with the old one that's now devalued to a fraction of its original and nobody wants it anymore. My old Line 6 Flextone 3 was a case in point. Perhaps multi effects is not so problematic, just amplification that's the problem? I dunno. But the experience has prompted me to reevaluate my hardware acquisition quite considerably.

Speaking of multifx, anybody here got their hands on this lil fellow yet? Would love to hear your comments.

I've played with a few axe fx II and I heard this one isnt very much different just with less processing power.

+3kk!

btw, why didnt u get the blueridges that someone was clearing a few weeks back?
he had the blueridge BR160 aka martin D28 homage for rm1.3-1.4k.
*
There was? I didnt notice.

Tested a friend's OM42, which was nice, but way above my budget. Found it abit dead maybe cause the wood hasnt aged yet.
I was eyeing the OMJM, but so far the ones I tested were alright and I didnt want to buy one that didnt feel right. It's harder to pick acoustics than electric.
Didnt want to go for dreadnoughts even though i did test some.
Tested a 00028 and so far I kinda like it but not drooling over it. Plus it looks really simple, without any inlays and just a black pickguard. No pickups.

+3kk!, what are you having right now?

ya harder to pick acoustics, but i roughly know what i want...and for now its not a dread yet too.
but seems ur aiming for spruce / rosewood combo? i would stick with dreads for that.
else u should go test out a 000-15M... tongue.gif
*
What makes you say spurce rosewood combo to go for dreads?
not liking the mohogany look

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Jan 12 2016, 03:29 PM)
D-35 standard, the 3 piece back guitar

its a loud and proud guitar, "balanced" but its a single player axe, doesnt like playing with others

if you are ok for other brands you might want to give lakewood a shot, their M32cp is quite good
*
not really played a lakewood.
Not into dreads as theyre huge. The OM felt really comfortable. 00028 isnt that bad too. Prefer a small guitar due to my small size

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 12 2016, 06:22 PM)
i always thought balanced meant nothing is overpowering even bass.
and ya, china lots of martin copies...but sigma is to martin what orville is to gibson.
if u read wiki, sigma is basically now in name only...but is still the only one licensed to make martin copies.
*
I dont mind giving sigma a go but i've yet to see any around!

just based on construction and wood tonality.
but lots of opinions around, some say rosewood adds more top end, mahogany adds more mids...and especially on a 000 body i guess it would matter more depending what ur after as a 000 obviously loses abit of bass over a dread.
also general opinion is mahogany is more all rounder for fingerpicking and strumming.
i may eventually get a spruce/rosewood 000 sized, but the all mahogany already sounds so balanced.
but since ur going for looks of rosewood instead...up to u... tongue.gif
*
ahh. I dont really like mohogany tops. I managed to test the OMJM and 00028 side by side and still the OMJM wins. Surprisingly the other OMJM I tried in 1utama wasnt as good as this one I tested. QA issue?
Ah but economy is going from bad to worse and the ringgit is falling. Might have to hold this one off.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 15 2016, 02:49 PM)
oh ya, i got 3 good reasons why i haven't bought any real expensive acoustics.
1. dent on headstock.
2. dent on lower bout.
3. dent on bout near neck.

and thats just a couple days after owning the cort... haha.

if gibson acoustic kena... heart pain... but then again being nitro not that hard to fix... hmmm...
*
Hey man, a beat up well used guitar be it electric or acoustic is the way to go. Even my PRS (nitro) has some wear and tear. Nitro wear and tear is alot better than those modern finishes (esp on PRS) wear and tear.

QUOTE(ecitenoid @ Jan 15 2016, 03:55 PM)
yeap, i get that grrr when turn on the gain boost. quite high gain when turn to 7 above. for me that more on modern metalcore music, 6 enough already.

to me im impressed this valveking ii. really enjoy the clean as well.

but i feel like 20W not enough 'loud'. afraid to crank full volume, coz im new to tube amp, masih study and research lagi.

lucky my pod HD can control the volume using 4 cable method.
*
20W not enough? Wow man, my Mesa Mark V Mini is super loud. I brought it for a workshop once for an auditorium and it was sufficient.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 15 2016, 10:18 PM)
oh ya, the best mere mortal example is available in the baby taylors and gs-mini... as they come with spruce, mahogany tops... also gs-mini with rosewood b&s.
from what i see most also seem to prefer the mahogany versions...just cos its again more balanced for smaller bodies.

sigma i wonder if Davis guitar still stocks... wouldn't mind going down only if got some nice concert...
*
for now mohogany tops are out for me. Didnt like the looks and gave them a try and didnt really like em.
Sigma none locally?

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Jan 16 2016, 08:52 AM)
yea, its not a very popular brand even in overseas forums or places; partly due to it being rather over priced and the ugly headstock

like the prices john was asking RM14k, a brand new custom made to order anderson is only 15k ish

I thought the hipster guitar thing is really blooming esp hipster christian musicians? I'm a christian musician but I love poking fun at them. Veritas, semi hollows, boutique amps, etc

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jan 19 2016, 03:37 PM)
anyway i just went doremi and bought a few more jazz in diff gauges and material... bought the jp one to try also.
i also realized i cannot alternate pick to save my life using regular picks anymore... zzz.

whats your take on TUSQ picks?

tusq picks, not interested to try...seen them around...nothing really gets my fancy...im just gonna stick to jazz III forever now tongue.gif

i've used jazz III for ages and tusq has the jazz III sizing too.

quick question. Anywhere in KL I can get those rubber things to put on your pedal knobs so you can turn the knobs with your feet?

Thinking for my secondary pedalboard which I am lazy I am lazy to bring an expression pedal to control the effects with my foot and this would do.
