He just realized maybe it's easier to make it in the asian market, or maybe he just has more contacts in Japan?

Lagipun he knows japanese... Surely get more respect there. You know how much asians "adore" foreigners... Especially the girls, willing to sleep with any foreigner with just a snap of their fingers.  shakehead.gif

I don't know..? LOL!

I saw "In the Name of the King" at One U. Bloody formulaic RPG movie based on, OMG, Dungeon Siege. Heck, the hero's name is... Farmer.

But the cool thing is, the end credit song is "Skalds and Shadows", by Blind Guardian FTW! thumbup.gif

is it worth the RM10..

i see the review so bad...but the story line like super epic ..+Jason Statham super hero..

Hi hi soulfly, where did you get that tax tariff form? Can give the link also?

Is this confirmed or just rumours spread around by others?

thanks!

Ok.... I have a problem.
There are a few guitars I'm eyeing to bring back from the US (I'm not buying ALL..... just deciding on which one)...........

A Gibson Les Paul Standard, Ibanez s5470, Ibanez EGEN, or a Razorback 255..... Unfortunately..... ALL of them come with Hard Cases......
Bringing a guitar onto a plane is REALLY REALLY dangerous..... so was thinking of putting it into a Softcase carrying bag..... but what the heck am I going to do with the case? Any ideas? Seriously...... please.
*
if you are taking economy class...forget about hand carrying it to the plane ..hardcase or softcase..both..avoid it ! ..
it creates problem for the air stewardess and all la...if business class then ok..they have a special space for you to put ..



anyway..just put loads of bubble wrappers and check the guitar in ..
nothing one-lah...done it so many times..

I'm flying economy...... I took back my LP ZW the last time in a softcase gig bag with no problems.

I'm worried about the standard hard cases that comes with the guitar isn't good enough to protect the guitar..... even with bubble wrap...... any other recommendations? Was thinking of FedExing the Case back, but that's gonna cost.

Another way, is I buy a softcase, carry the guitar in that, and that check the hardcase..... can fill it up with underware and stuff like that too.

hmm ..well...

i think its very annoying..going 18 hours flight with a guitar right in front of you..
unless you buy another seat for the guitar..

don't be so paranoid lar ... i think Guitar shouldn't be a problem..

there are people checking in electronic items , glasses , perfume bottles etc...those more fragile than guitar...
so i don't think those dudes will just simply throw your bags in the airplane.

Well Rossie, if you ever want to let it go, you can always sell to me  brows.gif

And blackangel, any Guitar Shops other then Sam Ash or Guitar Center you can recommend?
I'll probably be doing the tourist stuff....
you know? Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Staten Island, Times Square..........

Then if got time, hop over to Jeu-sey and check out the Bada Bing club tongue.gif
*
Times Square ? Manhattan ?


MANNY'S MUSIC ...and the whole street...

there is a street ...dedicated to guitar shops..sam ash , manny's music , other small guitar shops that sells anderson , vigier , brian moore etc...crazy..i spent the whole day there ..

guitar center is the other side tho..

advance advice ..


try your best ...notttttt to buy from NYC lar..jus go for the experience ..

its 9% sales tax ..

and if you are talking about ....3000 USD Gibson...its addition 300 USD..RM1200...

get your parents to -rent-a-car ..its pretty cheap in u.s ..

take 2 hours drive (from NYC) to Guitar Center at Rockville, Maryland ..its near washington dc..tell your parents can go see white house..

there the tax is only 4-5% ..can save RM600..

to be exact
http://gc.guitarcenter.com/locations/store.cfm?store=832

and...DO NOT ..go to Guitar Center/sam ash in New Jersey near Newark airport...its in the middle of the highway damn hard to find ..
anyway , if i were you ..i wouldn't buy from guitar center etc..i will walk into a pawn shop and get some vintage gear..
