Indecision

Gonna get a new guitar soon as my current one is one of those embarrasing beginner jumpstart packages that i got almost three years ago and isn't very suitable for me anymore as my playing's now more advanced, and to top it all of i picked the display unit which was a lemon coz some of the frets were worn out, especially the 12th fret. It is for sale though if anyone wants to buy it, together with the amp it came with. Oh and it's an Ibanez too, so it's got some credibility and reputation to go with it. At a very reasonable price. Contact me if you're interested.

Anyways here are the guitars i've shortlisted. All of them are Ibanez guitars, mainly coz they have the best playability and awesome all-round performance, but also coz i can't afford a Fender. I know some of you probably know nuts about guitars, so just tell me what you think in terms of looks. And for the pro-guitarists among you, maybe you can lend me your opinions. Okay here they are:

RG350EX

RG350DX

White=Pure :P But i kinda like the black one too.

RG370

Black guitars are so common in our school, but this one still looks good.

RG370

Red = look at me!!!

The four ones above are the most versatile of the RG's coz they have three pickups-at the next, center and bridge, while the other RG's below only have two at the neck and bridge.

RG320DX

This one's nice.


RG420EG

This RG's got a cool spider pattern engraved on the surface.


RG320

RG320

Grafiti!!!


SAS36FM

This guitar's unique as the bridge pickup can be switched between humbucking and single coil modes, making it the most versatile. Pity the pickups aren't as good as the rest of the other guitars here though.

S320

This S-Series is really slick with that weathered black finish, and it's also really light, sleek and comfy.


RG08LTD JPB

This one's a special Spring Edition RG available only for a limited time, and it's BEAUTIFUUULL!!! It has gold hardware, red body binding and a translucent pickguard that even has sakura patterns on it!

Okay so let me know what you think!

Stop playing with my kidneys

I heard a bunch of love songs playing on the radio today while in the car, and then i wondered: why is the heart always the organ associated with love? Who was the first person who came up with that?

And in malay the equivalent when it comes to love is 'hati' which people perceive to be the heart when it actually means liver. So does this mean that each language has their own special 'love organ'?

Imagine if the person who came up with this had used kidneys instead of heart. Then all the love songs would be like 'stop playing with me baby, you're breaking my kidneys.'

Schnitz

Having our BM oral test tomorrow. Apparently we're supposed to talk about any issue in front of sera with a partner, as long as it isnt sensitive. My partner's Razlan, and we've decided on piracy, mainly coz its what i did for my English oral last year and we're gonna use the isi from it and make stuff up along the way....though it's gonna sound fake and staged coz i'm not used to talking about these things in BM...

Put 'em in Overdrive

Okay so we made it to finals for band, only just though as we snagged fifth place. I think we could've done better though, and we certainly sounded better during practice - mainly because we had time to tune our amps just right. Which is why i think we should be given more time to set up our stuff, and a minute definitely isn't enough coz this isnt solo or duet singing were you hand 'em the mikes and they start singing straightaways....here you've gotta make sure all the volumes are just right, that no instruments are too loud and cover the rest of the band, and distortion levels...things like this. And guitar amps were used for vocals, and that made all the singing sound rather weird, like as though you had water stuck up your nose, if not terrible. They sounded a lot better during category b though...but whatever it is i'm happy that we got in. xD

I Predict A Riot

Parents won't let me go for paintball tomorrow coz someone got killed apparently for political reasons in KL and they're afraid things might start getting nasty all over..........but that's in KL!!! What are the odds of something like that happening in a paintball field in good ol' Subang???? Bloody hell if only people could just accept the voting results....

Bass Nuts Only

Ok so i just got a new bass teacher, and i hope this one stays coz he's pretty good. Can't remember his name though...

My first teacher was probably the best that I'd ever get, but that's the problem: he's so good that he's always got gigs and couldnt make it for half our lessons, and so decided to leave. He's Estranged's ex-bassist btw. My second teacher only stayed for three lessons coz he was gonna teach somewhere else, but he wasnt bad either. Taught me a different way of slapping.

So anyways I'm now a bit better at slapping and popping, and my new teacher taught me this nice funk riff from Jamiroquai, though my index finger's sore from all that popping and there's a bloody blister on it now so i cant pop till its gone...

On a different note, I wish they'd bring Rickenbacker basses here...they have the same vintage design as earlier vintage models. And the tone, ohmygod the tone...nothing else sounds like a Rickenbacker, the warm underlying lows with that signature mid-range punch...Franz Ferdinand's Bob Hardy uses a 60's 4000 series as his main axe and THAT is what gives the band their signature sound, or tone, or feel, or whatever you wanna call it. To sum it all up: I want one.
