This post has been edited by EmperorMeng: Dec 7 2007, 12:27 AM

im newbie hahahahhaa

Edited the topic title to give the 7 stringers some cause of joy.

anywhere to find used firebird-looking bass guitar?
i don mind those realy chapalang 2nd hand type but i just wana c the wood quality... onboard electronics not important..

why bother? we got our own thread wert....

Momentous occasion where our main thread is also the 7 string thread...... Lucky Number 7!

ooo, 91post only.... hav to spam more.....

No kidding! And the thread was started on the 7th day too!

7 string FTW! xD

means. . . the next thread gonna be pretty screwed. . . nobody owns an 8 xD

but for the time being. . . 7 strings!!!! xD

mahal la 7 stringer, need to buy one more string XD

shoot!!! it's v7 already... been a follower and observer since registered but never post anything in this thread.. so, hi evybody!!

btw, just bought the vox amplug classic rock yesterday.. superb ... yesterday i went they're almost closing.. test the AC30 but bought classic rock.. haha... everdying's quote racun me already.. probably will go again to ck tomorrow to get the AC30..

and my guitar seems to lose its sustain.. my fren said it's because of the string gauge.. i changed it to a larger gauge before.. hmmm... must send it to luthier to set up intonation and action... and change to normal gauge.. does the guitar store open on sunday?

lolz congrats on the new version.

Didn't know that I have 5 posts in the previous version. One more post to a '6'

haha...new thread, new question.

i've read some guitar setup tips and some mentioned that the "knife edge" on a floyd rose bridge can actually wore out. what does this means? how can you tell?

Can can... you ask Rusty Cooley to join lah!

jejari7, if you changed to a thicker string gauge, you should sent it to the luthier to get it properly setup again.

And wow...... 7th version on the 7th day.......... That's a brutal coincidence!

Auspicious day to get a 7 string then

*Clicks at JT classifieds*

blacktrix: thunder bird is bass la... go look it up.

this is firebird:

Well it could be this as well.

that's just jean grey in phoenix mode. they don't get x-men in russia.

wtf. how did u get 800+ posts within a year? got 5 stars already.. mcm otai sial.
somebody should delete the 7 string thread. it's redundant already don't you think. muahahahaha....

so if i remain with the current gauge and set it up properly would i get better sustain? or i'll get better sustain with thinner gauge and set it up properly?

and yeah... 7th version on the 7th day in the last mth of 2007... 777 jackpot!!

hey guys, know where i can get fourplay tabs? im losing my patience trying to figure their songs by ear. (i know its simple but i suck at fiduring things by ear)

I dunno about how you setup your guitar, but with the proper gauge and setup, My LP-100 had more sustain after I switched from Ernie Balls to ZW Boomers.

i bought a delay pedal ... beta aivin dd-2..........
and i just realised tat i cant change the time when the delay kicks in..
its only 400ms or 800ms.. shit ...

Damn. I just realized, If I get my JCM800, I'll need a Chorus pedal. Dunlop..... wow........ too damn expensive.

Maybe will have to settle for either Digitech Chorus Factory or Boss CE-5

anyone tried beta aivin products b4? its cheaper compared to boss n digitech...

Guys, the new RG Prestige with the new Edge-Zero bridge.



And the ones that we're all waiting for, the new 24 fret S Prestige!



Light Wood Grain 24 S FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new S uses the brand new ZR-II bridge, uses a barless top-lok with the wrench holder, Mahogany Body with the Maple/Walnut Prestige neck.

Droooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Woot ..that black RG2550EX issit? That's one of the nicest looking RG prestige models to me. Gotta love the Ghost Sharktooth inlays and the maroon/purple pickguard! Zhng!

Looks like I have to give up my HTC TyTN II and live with my crappy handphone if I want that Prestige S.......
sigh.......

Does anybody know what was the average rate of the current prestige S?

I helped a friend setup his RG2550ex a week ago, the high e string kept on snapping...

A/B-ed it with my friend's earlier RG2550ex, there is a difference in workmanship... The earlier one played much better, and the neck is thinner too... The binding on the new one looks el-cheapo though...

Bad news. Both MIJs?

Eep. Hope this doesn't effect the new prestige

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Dec 8 2007, 01:02 PM

same here. thou i wanted a new hp, but still, guitar gears come in 1st.

Yup, both CIJ...

Not exactly bad news la, the workmanship is still fairly good; but still, there's some noticable differences in quality, albeit nothing too alarming.

i think same la wif evybody here... GAS hits everyone in this thread... and silently to me too... today will send my squier telecustom for setup and restring.. and then mkn maggi until the end of the month... sigh..

Oh god, I can't stop drooling at the new Prestige S......
I swear, they made that light grain model JUST for Herman Li.

You know what....... this year, I didn't get THAT much guitar gear. Just a new Whammy. The previous year was where I got my most gear.
ZW LP AND an RR3 AND a tonelab SE......

Next year, the ceriatone JCM800 (It takes 4 weeks to build), hopefully a new Prophecy Explorer and that Prestige S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

orz. u won.
mine's 2005.

why not eat maggie for 2-3 more months? then buy a nicer giutar instead of upgrading ur squier?

is that a D-Sonic on the bridge!?!?!?

It says on the spec sheet that it's HGD1 on the Neck, ST1 in the middle, the HGD2 on the Bridge.

hmm
so the s-prestige is on zr2 only?
i like how the edge zero looks actually [looks solid as hell]

This post has been edited by sean392: Dec 8 2007, 10:18 PM

The ZR is why the S is so popular actually.
It's a waaaaaaaay better trem then the Edge 3 IMHO.

I think it's T-minus 7 months till I get my S Prestige.

you getting the 24fret S model? from the states?

Well, maybe will get an Epiphone or Gibson from the states, and order the Prestige S through Bents or someone else from the forum (you know who I'm talking about)....... mainly because with the hard case that comes with the Prestige S, it's hard to bring it back on the flight. It's a good hardcase, but it's not flight worthy.

EDIT:

Urgh. Make then a year......
It's going to cost roughly RM 5,500.........

180000 Yen Dollars..............

Die Die Die My Darling.......

Hi, do you guys think a 60 watt tube amp is too loud for the bedroom? Worried I might have volume issues..

the RG is very nice, maybe i should save up for that...

yea its freaking loud
no worries, THD hotplate is your best friend
lol

forget seen from where edi, it's said that actually ZR's material is quite the same with Edge3, but it doesnt wear off bcoz it uses the ball bearing thing ( pardon my poor english ), AND! the ZR nids to stay away from dirt n so, and need cleaning maintainence, to keep the ball bearings function properly,where the other bridges doesnt need \.

em, i might b wrong.

Does the ball-bearing-trem gives out a shot of fire when you change gears?

mind to explain plz?

Hmm I have to connect from the amp output to the hotplate input and from hotplate output to cab input? What if its a combo amp?

Where exactly can I find a Hotplate in KL? I'm VERY worried that my 50w Tuber will cause alot of havoc in Bangsar!

u moved to bangsar?

i think ive seen it once in bentley.

Didn't he live there for a long time already?

Anyway yeah, I remember seeing it in Bentley.

Lame reply really... lol...

A twin garret ball-bearing turbo that reduces misfiring... When it engages, the exhaust system will spit fire...

Extremely lame, I know

---

Added on December 9, 2007, 7:13 pmIt's the same actually, a cable will almost always run from the preamp to the speaker, just shove the attenuator in the middle of it... At least most combo amps are like that, but there are some which wiring is all done inside the amp...

This post has been edited by Rossie: Dec 9 2007, 07:13 PM

i thought he lives in cheras.

oh so since u know more about where his house is, why not u be the leader for the next 'mission' to 'get' our christmas presents from blacktrix's house? jk

Most combo amps have a 6.5mm cable from the speaker to the pre/power amp, so you can shove the hotplate there. If it doesn't then..... errr tuff luck? unless you're gonna mess with the cables =p

Oh, ok. Thanks

(no i'm not spamming, just speechless)

Bangsar so big, how to find? Wait he get the JCM800 first, then can trace the sound hah.

Yup. Always lived in Bangsar leh......
And like Led Zep said....... trace the sound of Bad Pentatonics and JCM800.
I suggest you wait for next year. Have a Prestige S and Epi Prophesy to "Acquire".

And thanks for the Bentley tip. Will check 'em out once I get my JCM800.
Wait.... that means it isn't THAT loud any more

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Dec 9 2007, 10:35 PM

Christmas this year is starting to sound more Merry already!

Crap. Nik from Ceriatone says that there are no JCM800 to test at the moment, so will have to wait for one before I can go.
Sigh.................

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Dec 10 2007, 11:41 AM

i love my squier and i'm planning to get a new axe next year but not to replace my squier ...wait until i get my bonus this coming CNY... eat maggi for 2-3 mths??? 2 days wif maggi only already cant move my fingers to play guitar..

wats nik's best selling marshall model?
i would guess its the 18w...cos thats what i want also

unless somehow later on he decides to make a mini tube amp, like the krank rev jr

The guy can make Kranks?!

im pretty sure he can make anything if he has an original to compare with.
its just whether he wants to or not after that

This post has been edited by Everdying: Dec 10 2007, 11:59 AM

no need wait to test, just buy.
if u dun like, sell it cheap.

donit test. . . buy. . . don't like then keep. . . when you do your MTV. . . at least can burn or thrash it like rock star

any help?

hard to look for jazz tabs online. . . only way is you get the books from places like harmony?

okay..but im in kuching right now for hols thats why i have the time to learn songs. thanks

Order from Amazon? lolx...

Well if not, just patiently tab it out. After all, that's how most jazz guitarists (Incl. eq777 ) hone their craft. But then again, smooth jazz isn't exactly jazz and is very much pop, so I don't think it should be a much of a hassle, other than the patience thingy.

haha. more to lazy. and its hard figuring out the chord types and especially the small details that make it sound so nice like the slides, vibrato and bends. sometimes just figuring the melody out but playing it without these details is just...so yucky.

anyways since i have no choice, i'll try.

today is the day!
led zeppelin performs again!

Good luck to them!!! Hopefully some concert goers are able to sneak in highend camcorders... and then... Youtube time!

Have been playing How The West Was Won on my car stereo recently. Still strikes me as much as I first heard it and still ranks as one of the best live performances I've heard.

when is the friggin rain going to stop damnit?!

i just hope KL isnt flooded tomorrow morning...

yea rite

die la go work tomorrow morning...

Isnt tomorrow a holiday? or is it jus for selangor.. huhu

Just Selangor oni hahah... but I still have to go back to office to gao dim some stuff. =.="

how i wish my office is in selangor...*sigh*

Nevermindlar... still got Haji, Xmas, and then New Year to look forward to lolx.

Hey guys,

Just wondering whether it would be easy for a discontinued tube amp to undergo repairs, just in case it breaks down i.e the parts etc?

for all of you with floating trems, how do you change your strings? one by one, two by two or all at once?
also, how will those affect your action and intonation? each time restring must readjust ?

hey check this out.
http://mr335.tv/

I take them all off and give my guitar a good cleaning before I restring it.

About the intonation and action thingy, if you intonate and set your action according to fresh strings, it will be just as it is when you restring it with fresh strings, no matter how you restring it. The problem is your intonation and action will change as your string loses its tension.

I'm checking out Bentley around 2 today. Bringing either my RR3 or LP to test out some amps before I make my final decision of the Ceritatone.

i got a meeting at 2pm to roughly 3.30pm, else i can walk over to bentley

Knowing my procrastinating friends, will end up at 4 ish.

Hehe... you signed up for his lessons too? Mr. San San Go.

guys... howdy...

need help... i'm trying to figure out the tone for the lead/electric on this song.... i can't nail what modulation he's actually using... chorus? flanger? phaser? any take guys? also during the chorus the lead goes into a nice guitar tone and i have no idea what effects he's using...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdsuIxidFeQ

well if u guys have any ideas that'd be great...

This post has been edited by hotfootpowder: Dec 11 2007, 01:45 PM

That's because earlier 2550EX's wizard neck is 17mm thick while nowaday's neck is 18mm.

blacktrix, what brand/model of hardcase you got for your RR3 again? Bentley runs out of stock that day (I forgot the brand)

This post has been edited by davidletterboyz: Dec 11 2007, 01:46 PM

I don't have a hard case. I have a Ritter Softcase.

Could be a uni-vibe.

Oh ic. My bad....

Thank you captain obvious.

F'ing hell. Selangor Holiday and the town is PACKED.
Plues HINDRAF Rally......... will have to go tomorrow

LOL blacktrix
Anyways, I just bought a Roland Microcube. Intend to buy another one but if not mistaken the Vox DA5 is better? I wanna play rock and metal lol...

no wonder goddamn stupid police roadblock so early in the morning today, causing a massive jam when there shouldnt be any.
