imagine u wana test the guitar that you wanted..
a nice beautiful axe worth maybe 1k-2k+
but..

you're a noob at playing..
u cant shred to save ur life
u cant even play any solo
but only power chords...and simple shit scales
u cant sweep pick..
u cant alternate pick..

would you still go n test the guitar?

i think its the opposite way..

the more pro you are ..the less u feel you wanna show off ..

the more noob your playing is..the more you wanna try to impress people ..

thats why...whenever i walk in bentley , everything sounds like sh*t

Why so emo ?The problem is how much u love music..If u really love music and guitar..U will try ur best to go learn it..U need time to improve ya skill..Not within a few days...Effort is important right.

Dude don't care what others people think la, just play(or test:)) your heart out until you are satisfied. I can't shred for shit , I felt like that too sometimes, especially when there are people playing at the same time who are a much better player than me. But it's all in the mind la. Not everyone started playing like Vai you know

lol i dun fvking care..... thou there ARE some ppl looking at me, expecting me to shred or wat, then i just ZHENG n major scales. tat's all.

hanhanhan : Why the issue dude? Does it mean that only shredders can test guitars in the store? No, right? Who cares what people think, you're testing the guitar for yourself not anybody else.

And I agree with gapnap too. gapnap can shred every chick's skirt off wan ok? but he's so down to earth. hahahahaha!!!

test la. siok ma test

i'll admit, before i go test out a guitar that i like i'll work on some riffs and licks
nothing fancy, just something to play. at least 1 riff with lots of thick strings and 1 lick on the thin strings so that i can test the highs and lows of the guitar

some of the best songs are made on simple chords and simple shit scales.

yeah imma test taht guitar

haha i test b4 in bentley.. play simple things they also stand there n stone at me..

Haha..They stone at you..U throw the money to their face..They will be smile at you..Dont care what others think..Be yourself..

I thought its cause all the good stuff is locked up in the glass cabinet

err... get the good stuff out of the cupboard?

But honestly, the good stuff are not really that great. I got to play around with that brown warwick in the glass display. Wasn't really that great. Even one of the Rockbasses sounded better than it. Surprising but true. To my ears anyway...

test only lah............ I had a field day in guitar center in Hollywood

hhaha..that sounds more like wohh fatt to me ..


what bassix said is true..bentley's high end isn't that great ...


i think Wohh fatt's 15 years old Gibsons also > any Guitars from bentley ..that includes their gretch , taylors , fenders , ibby

accept for the few Musicmans i saw last time

haha yea...woh fatt's 15yr old gibsons...
in 15yrs time, collectors from around the world will be rushing to woh fatt to buy NOS vintage gibsons here

Hmmmmmmm. ever... want to invest in some first?

you buy already means its second hand...cannot sell brand new price..

you need to open a shop to declare it is "NOS"




btw..if some of you dont know..many small shops..practices...
buying a super mint 2nd hand guitar/pedal..and they tell you its a "NOS" ..and sell you at new price

SUPPORT 2ND HAND MARKET !

its not wat skill u can pour out....
if u like the guitar just grap it and try it


a 1959 Sunburst LP std is quoted US$ 560,000
wen it cost $280 in 1959
(1959 price in 2005money = $1560)
so its reli a gud investment haha
imagine buying a year 2000 model
may b wen ur 80 years old
u oredi have a vintage LP to sell haha

i would bring along a friend who's good to help me test it...

the best guitar investments right now are the vintage gibson junior and special models from 60s.
they are still somewhat affordable...USD5k max for most...
in 10yrs time im sure they'll hit USD20k


now back on topic abit.
if you're a noob and wanna get a $1-2k guitar, do not ever let the sales ppl test for you.
get someone go with you, and plug it into the biggest amp you can find

but then again, if you're noob, you wont be able to tell much difference.

so uhh, like always get a friend who can play to go with u.

and uhh, that green day guy is a noob...but his guitar is worth like RM10k...

billy armstrong arr? izit some washburn guitar?

Whack only la lol. That actually happened to me when i got my first electric earlier this year. All i could play was classical songs, so when i got to the shop and tested the electrics, i ended up playing classical songs on clean channel lol. The sales guy was staring at me. Then he said, "test the distort also la." Then i went "uh oh..." and started playings scales and some lame chords LOL was really blur dunno what else to play. Then i went "oh, yes very nice *nods head*" xD
So there ya have it. Just bang away without a care in the world what you're playing. Thats my advice to you lol

I supposehe 10k guitar is the Custom Shop LP Junior? Before that he was with his Fernandes Strat. Maybe tomorrow we will see alotta people testing in CK..

where is CK music anyway? and where is guitar store?

umm CK is about a 10 minute walk from bentley.....and for some odd reason I've lost my sense of direction. I can vaguely remember its down a slope and to the left, or something like that.

Oh, and at CK, try to get the malay dude as your sales assistant. it's somehow easier to bargain lower prices with him compared to the others

CK is on the road parallel to timesquare...jz need to walk further down from timesquare...

CK music having tis big promotion..year end sale thingy from today !!!

awwww crap you being serious? I just bought my multiFX in late october from them.....

Nevermind la.. october was so long time ago. BTW I think you'll only get a better discount if you buy stuffs that are more expensive right.

well, you spend more to save more. I never really understood that part.

do they stock up on SD pickups?

lol its already the next year .. but i'm still replying here =p
i ask my friend to go along with me .. thats what i always do =p

btw, i heard of this place in singapore .. i think specializes in taylor guitars .. my friend told me the shop keeper there never layans noobs one.. after you start playing he feel your good then he'll start recommending the guitar for you..
