New stuffs

I'd finally managed to trade a MIJ Fernandes guitar with Nicholas. I saw his post in SVguitar forum. He'd been selling it for 2 years but never managed to sell it. So long that he is willing to sell it for S$350 with all the accessories. I wonder why. Why hadn't he put it up on soft instead?

Well that doesn't matter any longer. I managed to bargain a S$50 off. So it's S$300

 1. ZOOM G2 multi-effect pedal.
Somewhat similar to the G2.1u I got.

2. Planet Waves 25ft Cable
The longest cable among all my other cables with locking jack pins.

3. Zoom Driver 5000
Gives you quite a lot of distortions as you can see from the picture below. Hadn't got a chance to try them yet.

4. Some unknown cable, 10ft long


Nicholas seemed to have keep all the things rather properly. All the manuals are still there, the pedal still intact and the box still in a good condition. (better than my g2.1u box)

But what about my guitar? It's right now at SVguitars. There seems to be some problems with the pickup switch. The neck pickup isn't working after I'd removed the tissue paper Nicholas has used to somehow make the pickup switch usable.

Big STEAL~

Today, I went to Davis to grab a FAB Overdrive, which they are selling for a S$19 on their renovation sale. However, just as I thought, I was one step too late. All the Overdrives are sold out. This underscores how kiasu the people. I'm not kiasu enough. Tsk tsk tsk...

Well, I still managed to get a few stuffs though. Take a look!

This is the first item I got. It is a micro guitar amp. 

ROCK YOU Micro Guitar Amp ($S15) U.P. S$30

The packaging wasn't very appealing at all. However, the size of it is rather enticing. 
If anyone of you are imagining how puny this little amp is, the 2 pictures below will explain this. A picture speaks a thousand words.

Shorter than a pen

It has a earphone jack on its left. The little buddy can be powered up by a 9V adapter.

Not enough power points? No worries. 

This amp can be powered by a 9V battery as well, making it portable. You could just bring this out, loaded with battery, plug your guitar in and rock on!

People may have some misgivings about this size of 5 watt amp. However, you will be flabbergasted by its overdrive. It has a rather decent overdrive! Will upload a sample when I got back my guitar.

More photos of it:

Here's another item I got for a steal. 

 Ki-Sound 15 ft cable (S$11) U.P S$15,

This actually is a 15 ft long cable. The guy at the shop mistaken for a 3 metre (10 ft). I like this brand of cable as it is noiseless and cheap. 

Lastly 

 Everly B52s LIGHT strings (S$5) U.P. 8.50

Never tried them before. Bought this for my new 'family member' which will most probably arrive tomorrow.

Note to all my non-Singaporean readers.

Kiasu means 'afraid to lose out'. xD Hope it helps

Block the Noises~!

I went down to City Hall AGAIN on Friday again. Well, it really seems like I've got nothing better to do than shop around City Hall. Bought myself a new cable. The old one I'm using is beyond salvation. I tried to maximise it anyway. Here's the picture. 

 Bought this at SV guitars for $10 dollars. At first I thought it was some cheapo cable but I was wrong. It is a good cable. =) Now with new cables, all those buzzing noises which my old cable produces are gone!

 The jack gives me a feeling that it is rather solid. I hope it is.


Next, we headed to Drums Resources at Bugis, Haji road to be exact. The place, like always, is very hard to find and is located in some alleyways. Around the shop is all shisha stalls and shops. But we have to go there because it is giving a 50% off for all drums stuffs and 10% for some accessories. We finally managed to buy ETY Plugs! Now our ear is saved from noises!! 

This really is an awesome stuff and really does what the rumors said about it: cut down bad frequency. It indeed does. I put it on and talk to people around me normally, and I still can hear them as if I am not wearing them. But when I tried to on a song very loud near my ears, it really did reduces all the noise. As if I'm listening through the speaker across the living-room. It is really going to save my ears whenever I'm jamming. =)
