Ibanez RG350EX suitable 4 beginner o not?n how da price?

Ok guys, one of my few last posts before I head off to Singapore.

Will try to find a WiFi connection there.

Bending, vibratos? 

i'm trying to increase my downstroke stamina because i wanna play master of puppets with only downstrokes at least for the opening verse haha.

my timing always runs if i use alternate, no control over the upstroke. plan to rectify the probs one by one.

but i wanna play with downstrokes

i play master of puppets with all downstrokes, never tried it with alternate
sounds heavier that way

the first part is easier to play all downstrokes than the second part lah! at least to me i mean, it's not all that difficult, just that my hand tires out once I repeat that thing twice
the sliding part's easy, and I use alternate picking for the 'chug-chug-chug' part. makes things hell lotta less tiring

I guess I just have to build up stamina, haha. Master of Puppets only deserves to be played with downstrokes!

will a 9v 1Amp fry my DS-2 which is rated at maybe 200mA???

Because i found 1 adapter under my bed which used to power my creative speakers....but the problem with it that it is rated 9v 1A and not 200mA

with MT-2 its possible to get a zakk type sound, but slash its gonna be abit hard.

Does anyone else think that the original Transformer's Movie soundtrack is F'ing AWESOME????

most of the times most stores won't let you try stuff.... but try asking questions that puzzles them.... for guitar i usually asks them if the amp is all tube or not... types of tube... technical stuff u know.... as if you're a pro... especially look for those salesperson who's like really don't know anything... then just start picking up stuff and play and they'll let u... at least for a while...

but still... it sucks when u just hold a guitar neck and the guy comes saying "YESSSS... CAN I HELP YOU?"

i was in the US before and i played a gibson standard LP through a double stack JCM800 and later with a marshall heartbreaker... and i didn't buy thing... and the sales person just smiled and said 'do come again man'...

damn long never set up floyd rose guitars.
took me damn 30mins to string, tune and set up my SG with floyd just now.

anyway, sweettooth.
whos mike? and wat has he gotta do with gibson?

frets worn in, grooves or flat areas on the frets below the strings... and as a result you may experience fret buzz, or not smooth string bending. may just need a recrown first.
if its really worn in deep, or has already been recrowned, then you may need a refret already.

recrown is when you have grooves in the fret, but your frets are still tall enough and grooves not deep enough, that you can file those grooves away and shape the fret again.
your frets will of cos end up slightly lower, but still feel brand new.

of cos new ones la.
where can recycle used frets

and no, you cant DIY unless you got loads of experience.

usual rates for a recrown is RM150-180.
refret can reach up to RM300+ or more for a real good job.
