unfortunately no amps at swee lee (or worth your level)

i think i lost your number. Else I'll whatsapp you some info

writer mustve missed his dead line and it missed the April issue to be ended up in May. LOL!

Wow nitro! Spray on a certain someone and start running away! jk

The very typical Malaysian mindset would be "hey this is the direct conversion price when i googled this massive online store in the US! We are being charged too high!"

Now that might be the case for Bentley but you all have to consider shipping, taxes and that those mega stores in US do sale enough quantity to be able to offer those kind of deals.

Back to your question, I've visited Swee lee and their prices are quite competitive. Let's take an example of the list price of a Fender American Standard Telecaster (Sweetwater USD1399) and compare it to Swee Lee list price of MYR5.9k. I'd say that's very very competitive, considering the fact you dont have to pay for shipment and tax and you can go try out the guitar before purchasing. I dont care if it's American made for guitars I'll definitely want to have a close look at the workmanship (unless its a Suhr or high end PRS - yes, I'm biased).

Price of PRS and Mesas in Bents is nuts.
Now I'm hoping some serious competition for tube amps because shipping them in is a massive headache.

you'll be surprised how many rich uncle musicians here in Malaysia.
The people coming on the internet, jamtank, etc are not the real spenders.

maybe you dress like that they think you're some super happening hipster.

and hipsters in Malaysia got spending power

but built wise are they really that much difference?

why cant you just call?

wow just wow
my respect for local business owners just went up a notch knowing they have to deal with this

edit:
I just realized I have a few sms from Swee Lee (both Lot 10 and Sunway Putra) both updating me on items I've called to ask a while before.
Bangsar Swee Lee had no issues with me heading straight for their expensive guitars unlike Bent*cough*lee

definitely more stock there. Gibbies are also plenty, definitely more than Lot10

didnt see you there

Cause I canceled my work travel plans. Then took an afternoon nap, only for my wife to remind me then i rushed over.

do consider some of those amps from line 6. it's a guitar amp with good built in effects so you dont have to worry about the techy part of wiring and putting it all together as compared with an interface. You can plug your headphones in. If you wanna play along with music just bluetooth it from your phone / pc

First the McCarty and now this. Eh, stop copying me can or not.
Get the OTS mini. Amazing amp. Gets more play time than my Mesa Mark V 25

arent you in UK? I can help you pick it up from Nik and test to make sure it is working fine.

haha. Get both.

well there's always something else you can look at

probably only VOX amps that's interesting there.
Even for Korg items that I want there always seem to have no stock (surprisingly smaller shops have them).

Their big year end sales have not been interesting too.

let us see your board.

ceriatone's klon clone is at its final stages. mostly casing stuff from what I saw yesterday. sorting that out then they'll be releasing it.

edit: let me try whatsapp you the details

Not tried or heard the AX8 but i've heard the helix and AxeFx alongside.

I think for high gain amp heads, theyre all pretty close. It's the low gain classic amps that i find them easier to tell apart.

That's exactly what my friend uses in his room.
