lol...was thinking of going for a ride with a bass guitar...but heck...better learn the electric properly 1st...

any recommendation of good dealers or stores? heard alot off ppl mention Bentleys...but its in Damansara...rarely goes there...

btw...yes U2 uses alot of effects...mind recommending a few effects equipment too?

at you current state, go for multi effect. that way, you can experiment with the available effect before defining what you need.

and yes, the 1st important thing when buying a guitar is finding the one that suits you; build wise. for example, my 1st guitar was an ibanez grx40. it was versatile and not too shabby either, but after some time, i realize i'm not too comfortable with middle pickups and 5-way switches. so pick one you're comfortable with(build and looks), then judge how it sounds. it makes no sense buying an RR3 when you're not comfortable with the flying-V shape.

there's just too many multi-effect pedals out there. when you go to CK, just browse around.

errr.....that would be around 3-6k or even higher depending on model. you don't go for low-end stuff, huh?

it's weird seeing new guitarist nowadays just blindly aim for fenders and gibsons. you guys are sure rich.

I think it's because of brand recognition. You see all the artists up there playing Gibsons and Fenders, don't you think that's the best brand?

Like Apple........ everyone is going nuts over apple when they don't really know what apple is all about..... It's just a marketing ploy most of the time.

a better example is, people buying high-end DSLR but never actually move out of the Auto Shooting mode. laugh.gif

it seems that "spend wisely" is just a figment of someones imaginations.
