Year End Sales @ City Music

Hi those in Singapore!
December is coming soon so you know what to expect, don't you?

SV guitars - Swing SS1 Package

Here is (maybe) a piece of good news for anyone who is looking for an all-in-one electric guitar package. The poster above is quite self-explanatory. Worth the $250? Well, let me put it this way:

Guitar: $190

Cable: $12

Gig bag: $25

Picks: $3

That means in this package, you are getting the 15W amp for just $20. It is definitely not going to be great-sounding but at least it is still usable. In fact, it comes with a 3-band EQs so I have nothing to say against it. $20 is dirt cheap for a brand-new amp.

If you upgrade to Sound Drive SG-15, you get the amp for $70 instead of $100.

My personal opinion? If you have a very fixed and rigid budget, just go along with this package. Or if you have more cash to spare, please go for something like Nux. 

SV @ JCube opening

Today is 2nd of April and SV Guitars at JCube is officially opened.

I heard that there is a 10% discount all round. Sadly, I am no longer in Singapore. But I hope this helps those back there!

Once in 4 years - The Leap Year.

Leap Year... Once in every 4 years. Swee Lee has some promotions for this special year..

The offer is on Mustang Amps but ONLY if you buy either Fender Road Worn Vintage, Road Worn Players or Blacktop. In other words, it is considered a bundle. Please contact Swee Lee for more information. 

Nux offer @ SV

If you are looking for a practice amp (and a portable one), Nux Mighty 8 should be put into consideration. This busker amp is not that heavy. I think your guitar would probably weigh more than it. 

Sound-wise, I would say it is rather amazing for an 8watt amp. It doesn't have the best cleans. You can't really get warm clean sounds from small amps like this. But if you are metalhead looking for decent distortion, Mighty 8 will not disappoint you. The drive channel is very similar to Line6 Spider IV amp modelers. This will roughly give you a rough idea of what it sounds like.

If you are looking for a larger one, you might want to look into the Might-ier ones like 15 or even 50. There is a piece of good news for those who are interested in Mighty 8 and 15. SV is currently offering the 8 for $99 (U.P. S$129) and 15 for $125 (U.P. S$139). How long does the offer last? While stock lasts! 

Fender and Jackson Day @ Bras Basah

Well, the picture says it all. If you are trying to get a new Fender or Jackson (especially Jackson), you might be interested to pay Bras Basah a visit. Please expect long queues and stuffs as well. It's normal.

Wampler's price revision

Are you looking for any of the Wampler? If you are, here is a piece of good news for you. SV Guitars has a price revision for all their Wamplers. 

Now... price revision may not necessarily mean price reduction. The prices may rise in a revision as well. However, for this case, it is a price reduction and it is only for a limited time period.

For more information, please contact SV Guitars or check their website. The price list should be updated soon.

Swee Lee's extended GSS

Remember that Swee Lee participated in the GSS? And they are giving out 30% discount for many items?

I have a piece of good news then. Just yesterday or so, my junior bought her Ibanez bass and she enjoyed a 30% discount. When I asked her, she said it only ends by 16 of July!

Now, that explains why the prices of the drums are still covered up. :D

Late Pirate Fever

A few months ago, Singapore was struck by the Pirate Fever due to the "Pirates of the Caribbean". But Swee Lee is trying to ignite this fever again by this:

My opinion: I don't like my guitars to have any pictures of any movies or even my favourite bands. =)

Gibson promotion

This is a good news for those looking for a Gibson.

Mind you, this is NOT Gibson LP standard. I know a few people who will take any 'Gibson Les Paul' to be a standard and expect a humbucker sound. -.- These Studios are single coils Les Paul. 

And there is an alternative out there. It's up to you to find it out. 

SV stratosale

Looking for a MIM Fender? SV Guitars is now having a Stratosale. To be frank, $720 NETT price is rather tempting. 

Emily The Weird....Strange I mean

Swee Lee's other bundle.

Although it said 'G-310', don't be misled into thinking this SG has the same specs at the original SG G-310. The original's body is made of Alder while Emily version is basswood.

Satriani COMBO

Swee Lee's newest bundle.

As stated above. Do note that you will be getting a CORT CGC 70 HARDCASE, not Ibanez.
