Yeah...... Sweet Tooth now giving us a run for our money!

But damn, last thread I had 519 spa.... er.... I mean Constructive posts!

And yes.... I got my Herman Li ticket.....
Decided that I'm gonna get him to sign my Whammy Pedal or my Dragonforce poster from Singapore........

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Jun 26 2007, 05:46 PM

why not bring all?

btw, is it true that herman li is getting a signature model from ibanez?

Yes! I got the 7th Post...

ROXXORZ FTW!!!


EDIT:

BLOODY H3LL!!!!! Asura! You #*($&#(*$&(#$ beat me to the 7th post... Argh!

This post has been edited by RustReaver4D1: Jun 26 2007, 05:50 PM

Yes and no.

According to the Total Guitar issue with Dragonforce on the cover, Ibanez ARE making a custom guitar for Herman....... 24 fret S series with 2 humbuckers and a natural finish. He is giving his comments, and then they are sending him another prototype.

But we still don't know if this custom model will be made into a production signature model.

hey folks,

i need to buy a 24 frets electric guitar, budget about rm1k. any recommendations please?

thanks.

Rust, time to ditch your 7-string for an 8-string.

btw, sweelee sale is on this coming saturday.

Wanna ask sifus here, it is a must for newbie like me to play acoustic guitar first then baru can play electronic guitar? But i seem to prefer electronic guitar over the acoustic ones

time for a 8-string eh?

Nah... I'll let EQ777 get the RG2228 first and let him change his nick to EQ888 (damn prosperous wei!)....

Once he starts an 8th String Sanctuary... then I'll join...

8 Strings PAWNORZZ FTW!

At the moment, can't recommend any 24 fret below the 1k range..... Not that I know of anyway.....

But why do you need 24 frets anyway? I'm buying one because I want to be like Herman Li!


Nightstarz, there is no rule that you should learn acoustic first, but I find that it strengthens your finger better if you start with acoustic....

But to answer your question, yes, you can jump into electric straightaway.

...I started straight with electric and to my utter dismay, until today I can't play acoustic for nuts... heck, I can't even strum chords properly! die mou...

the kiddo, he says he needs a 24 frets guitar for his exam .... i kinda wonder on that .. any truth ???

thank you.

Icic, thanks for your clarification.

24 frets for an exam? First time I heard of that....
I'm actually going to start Rock School grade 6, and so far, my teacher tells me nothing of using a 24 fret.....

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Jun 26 2007, 06:03 PM

harmony in d'sara uptown carries that cheap brand stagg which if not mistaken has a 24 fretter for under RM1k.

also there are a few ibanez Gio 24 fretters, they should also be under RM1k, provided theres stock

Added on June 26, 2007, 6:09 pmacoustic? i feel like buying a 12-string acoustic.

There is how many grad in learning guitar?

i found this :

http://www.staggmusic.com/images/14224.jpg

retail at rm899, china made ... but price is gooood ahahahaha



24 frets for an exam? First time I heard of that....

as suspected, either the kiddo or this spruce guitar is trying to pull my other teeth for rm2k

edit your link.

remove one http:// in your image link.
so here it is.

i tried one similar to that in harmony, frets are VERY wide and flat.
shredders will like it.



This post has been edited by Everdying: Jun 26 2007, 06:14 PM

Hmmmm..... A 12-string acoustic sounds tempting too.......

Then I can finally play Mama, I'm coming home properly!

or stairway to heaven.
i wonder how would little wing sound on a 12-string.

It would sound as bad as playing it on a Les Paul

yeah the same stagg model, retail rm899 .. at least i dun have to stretch for rm2000 ...

thats why i play it on a SG.

Oh, and Velvet Revolver's album is out.....
not too bad actually.

yea, not too bad.
but not that great either.

some entertaining songs.

Which guitar suitable for rock ones? Not those herd metal ones.

money fall from sky ar? =.=

where got money buy wei. . . and the problem is. . . i heard they gonna discontinue the RG2888 nxt year cause not many people buying it this year. . . SHIT SOMEBODY LOAN ME RM6750!!!

...there's always the Conklin Sidewinder used by you-know-who...

...seriously, if you had the RG2228, would you use the 8th string for a low F (ala Meshuggah) or a high A?

Woot top-4 on the spam list XD

anyway another good comment for ck music

i just got my amp replacement from them again
again got the great service they have =)
plus after giving the best price, they included the footswitch [worth rm90]
=)

ck music now carries the Vox V847 wah to those who want that old hendrix wah type o sound =)

oo shi- i sound like im promoting them D:

high A. . . definately high A. . . i'm never a big fan of SUPER drop tunings. . . i rather have the high A for a more "dynamic" range. . .

i know that i'll hardly use the damn Low-F if i had it. . . it's pointless? thats my bassist job lol. . . not mine. . . if i played with low-F then i might as well sack my bassist. . . like Meshuggah. . . LOL

OMG....... I forgot to tell you........
THANK YOU EVERYDING!

Sanctity absolutely kicks ASS!!!!!!!!!

woo! 2nd top spammer! 1 post short of SPARTAA
and i started on electric but my teacher gave me some acoustic and classical songs to start with first so i cant really play chords that well either

This post has been edited by SweetTooth: Jun 26 2007, 09:23 PM

Not that expensive lah... It's less than RM6k...

6k is still not cheappppp T_T

"Not that expensive lah... It's less than RM6k..."

Wah liao......... my new laptop also only RM4500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol... I didn't mean to say it's cheap, but RM1k of the price that EQ said is quite a large sum...

wonder if bentley has stock for the new Jazz III picks.



i wonder who writes the press releases for dunlop

Dunlop Ultex Jazz III Guitar Picks let you dig in and grind, then jump to delicate, fluttering lines. Impossibly hard, yet absolutely responsive, these picks will reveal every flicker of emotion in your playing and still add brutal bite to the heaviest power cord you can unleash. Ultex picks are also virtually indestructible, hanging tough through countless pick slides, windmills, and other insanity.

The revolutionary Ultex material from which Jazz III Guitar Picks are crafted telegraphs the slightest contact, giving you an almost intuitive feel for the strings. With unprecedented resilience and snap, the Jazz III's release is so clean that individual notes sing out and artificial harmonics can be fired off at will. Practically weightless, with flawless, silky edges, the Ultex Jazz III doesn't emulate anything. It is the most versatile, expressive pick Dunlop has ever made.

Meh..... Still sticking to my Nylons.......

Can't even compare to the Tortex for my playing........

Heck, I even use 'em for my Guitar Hero controllers!

i think i asked this question before some time ago, but how do you practice sweep picking with a metronome?

Someone rather creative. To write something so erm well, boastful? about something relatively simple

i realized they didn't mention anything bout grip. hopefully they don't be as slippery as the jazz III which gets slippery when i sweat =(

Nobody answer my question Newbie kena deserted.

Because there's alot of good guitars recommended over at the Cheap/Budget Guitars thread...........................................

A Les Paul or a strat is a great Rocker guitar

Go...insanely slow at first. Play like your playing every note per beat. Then add it up, 2 notes per beat.

With practice,you'll own any sweep anytime .

Anyone of u that go music centre learn guitar? Or learn urself?

that depends on how serious you are. i've been playing around 11years on my own, at my own pace. sure, still not as good as i'd like to be. but that's only because i'm too lazy. .

...and yes, you have the learn the theory to improve. playing songs without knowing the basic theory is really a lost cause.

This post has been edited by zeroglyph: Jun 27 2007, 11:30 AM

The guitar sound somehow seem to relieve my stress. It is some sort can express my feeling thought. That why wanna learn guitar LOL

hey folks,

was at bentley, i found this ibanez RGR321EX, 24 frets, indon made, about rm1150. What are your opinions please?




There are some cort axes going off slightly higher(maybe rm200-300 more), korean made, kx1 or something .. can't remember. Would this be better?

anyway, i assume better than those nameless, china made

Appreciate the inputs.

Thanks.

This post has been edited by eye: Jun 27 2007, 04:36 PM

thats a pretty decent guitar.
the designed by ibanez EMGs that are on it, if not mistaken, are the very low end EMG select series.
but the guitar is cheap anyway, the neck feels pretty ok.
but what looks like neck binding i think is actually painted on fake binding, plus it just looks bad when both the 'neck binding' and body binding are a different color.
but then again, its cheap.

so yea, its cheap
neck feels good enough.
just change the pickups to something better and you're set.

but then again, if you're gonna change the pickups.
better get a SZ series, at least they come with decent duncan pickups.

and yea, cort would be a better buy.
they actually make guitars for ibanez, but since its called cort theres no real resale value.
kinda like samick and epiphone.


This post has been edited by Everdying: Jun 27 2007, 04:45 PM

thanks for yr input, everdying, the SZ is 22 frets, kiddo's looking for 24 frets.

i should then take another look at those corts

thanks again.

This post has been edited by eye: Jun 27 2007, 04:55 PM

kids dont need 24 frets.
has this gotta do with some stupid teacher saying you need 24 frets for some guitar lesson?

hahahah ... i suspect that too, everdying.

he came back one day, excitedly "exam's coming!! exam's coming!! i need a 24fretter for this piece im doing .... ( i tot mannnnn ..if only he was this enthusiastic about his study exams ) ... i figure the guitar school is trying to yank another rm2K from me

This post has been edited by eye: Jun 27 2007, 05:02 PM

kinda dumb buying a 24-fretter just for ONE exam
ask him to go borrow from someone.

wat guitar school is this anyway? M*h*g*ny?

those cort guitars available here, are they the same as this website http://www.cortguitar.com/

i saw this kx1 it was black unlike this tigereye finishing :


the finishing and feel seems better than that ibanez RS. not sure about the actual play tho.

Added on June 27, 2007, 5:11 pmhahahahahaha

this school uses a different kind of wood ... it's called SPRUCE at kota kemuning.

This post has been edited by eye: Jun 27 2007, 05:11 PM

Get a digitech whammy, put it an octive higher and voila! The higher notes!

Now THAT'S improvising!

yea the cort guitars on the site are the same ones in bentley.
of cos bentley doesnt bring in the expensive corts.

like mentioned, they make ibanez also.
look at any MIK ibanez with serial starting with C, those are all made by cort.

so ..er ... anyone has a 24 fret guitar for a two months rent ??? ahahahaha

Wasted...if you came earlier,you probably would have bought mine...It was a really nice guitar.Too bad had to sell it

hey there, yours was that blue ibanez gio, right? well im happy for u that u managed to sell it

ooops .. my mistake, wrong person, that was a sale by xtreme_paranoid. sorry about that

This post has been edited by eye: Jun 27 2007, 06:07 PM

anyway, you buying a 24 fret for your kid?

whats stopping you from checking out the Stagg 24-fretter that was previously posted?
only RM899 at harmony, and im sure he can give a 10% discount.

i think the sz320ex in white looks sexy. going for 1660 at bents

or you can opt for an RG350, about 1.6k at bents. its a very versatile guitar for its price.

and btw blacktrix, how much was the digitech whammy? i must get it one day~

maybe in a couple of years time

I think I got it for RM850,

since you went to bentley (i assume la), did you see how much did the RGR320EX and the S520EX are selling there? kinda interested in these 2 models, if i cannot save up for the edwards...

just save for the edwards !!

i wish i could save up that much by next year...maybe need to tie my stomach

i'm looking at the edwards F (forest-gt), just too 'jrock' for me to resist

edit: typo

This post has been edited by asura_86: Jun 28 2007, 12:15 AM

haha its always easy to tell ppl to save rather than saving it urself
=p

im interested in the edwards v =p

unless i find a job that pays me 3-4k per month...but don't think that will happen to me within this few years

i've heard your recording for glamorous sky...what did you use to record?

ok then i gotta wait a couple of years, then a couple of years more

go find some weekend part time job.
sure one month can get RM300+.

ergh
if only i had the time
so much GAS so little money

dang this******* is nasty!!!!

saw it at guitar collection 1U last weekend. going for about 2.6k for 260 model.

computer mic lol
and audacity =p

saw one in guitar collection ss15 also
also the 260 i think



This post has been edited by sean392: Jun 28 2007, 02:35 AM

spalted maple?
only USD199 and also MIK

considering, yes.

i guess i wud most probably buy a known brand; easier to resell & better secondhand price.

Added on June 28, 2007, 9:48 amooooo tremolo-locked strings .... troublesome tuning ... no ???

thanks.

This post has been edited by eye: Jun 28 2007, 02:42 PM

Beautiful stuff.
I played it, LOW action,..nice neck,abit slow,but manageable.

I wish I had 1660 though.

Hmmmmmmm....... looks like an awesome guitar....... but I would need a Trem..... and dammit...... I want my 24 stringer!

Might consider a JS100.....

Comment on this guitar??? And anybody know the pricing?

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Jun 28 2007, 12:24 PM

lol the sz520fm only 1.8++ well im not really a fanboy of ibanez but i find the price quite affordable for its specs

*gasp*

Hilary Duff with a Gibson Les Paul Custom???

Be still my beating heart!

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Jun 28 2007, 01:55 PM

so which would you choose? The gal or the guitar?

Let me check if I have a tra la la.....

Yup...

I'll go for the gal!

DUH!

F' the Gibson!

yeah, if I'm not wrong it's only a LP junior. Am I right?

if she somehow gets a signature model, i bet starbucks will come out with celebrities' signature drinks

that sounds highly possible >.<

LP custom..... click on the link, and then the picture to get the hi quality one..... then look at the headstock....

But even with the small pic, you can see the diamond inlay on the headstock..... that's a custom right there

hilary is fat and ugly.

i cant play triplets properly
*goes to practice* >=(

maybe if i practice consistently like this i might be able to play cob - everytime i die solo part in maybe 4 weeks? =o

just can't get the triplets for the whole song, too hard for me

ooooo everdying, blacktrix and folks

what about esp ???
LTD EC50
LTD M50
LTD MH50
LTD F50
LTD AX50

they may be better buys compared to the ibanez entry models???

thanks.

btrix... whats the price range u're looking at?

This early 30s guitar nub just wanted to say hai! to the guitar phreaks out there!

I'm taking beginner electric guitar lessons atm due to a mid life crisis and I just wanted to know how long before i get past the feeling that my fingers feel too fat and clumsy and why does it take so much f***ing effort to stretch my fretting hand over 4 frets!

Also, a friend of mine has kindly lent me his ibanez G10 to learn on till I decide to go really silly and get a mortgage for a guitar i can't afford. Is it worthwhile going down to Singapore to get a proper guitar or do I have to put up with rip off prices in KL?

i'm using an AX50
i'm an esp fan but i their guitars are a tad on the expensive side.
ibanez is more flexible in terms of tone, esp is more to the heavy side.
if you insist on getting an esp, MH50 if you want a floyd rose and F50 if you want a good looking, a$$ kicking guitar with a fixed bridge.

i think getting a entry level ibanez here is good enough and the price wont kill you
