End of Exam celebration

Exams are over!
How did I celebrate the end of the exam?
1. Send my Squier for repairs!

Here are my details for repairs that will be done at SV!

1. Change all the pots. 2 out of 3 are totally not working, one is not responsive.

2. Change pickups to Tesla Plasma-1

3. Setup

4. Change cable jack. It is loose. No matter how I tighten it back, it will be loosen again. 

5. Add orange drop

2. Go for swimming!

3. Play pool!

Erm... I don't know why is the cue ball in there and why is the 8' ball not at the centre. O.o

and etc.....

Well, there is nothing much to be so happy about this exam though. I screwed up most of my papers. However, no use crying over spilt milk, isn't? Might as well stop thinking about it and work harder for the next exam!

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. =)

Brand-minded?

I know a few people who care about brand names so much. To them, only Ibanez, Gibson and Fender are guitars. Any other less well-known brands are considered as 'brandless' to them, not to mention that they WON'T purchase one.

One of them said he would not want to perform with a guitar with an unpopular brand name on its headstock. Some of the people would even take all the effort to go and change the brand name on the headstock (e.g. Placing a Fender decal on Squier).
I am not saying that they are not allow to think like that. They can think whatever they want. In fact, I didn't raise a word when they said that. However, what matters to me the most is the quality of the instrument. By considering 'brands', it is the same as limiting your choices. For me, as long as the quality control of the instrument is good, regardless of what brand it is, I will buy it.

Artec Artec?

Here is my latest acquisition, I got it a few days ago.

I love Korea stuffs!

Striking resemblances (Episode 2)

Another series of striking resemblances. Take a look at these pedals.

Above is a noise gate. All look identical; the built, the knobs and even the model name of all 3 pieces is NG-100! Same goes for DS-100 and other pedals and even the 200 series, with slight changes in the design.

Actually, the reason for this striking resemblance is simple; they are the same. They are all from the same factory and all the parts are totally the same. What is different is the brand name that is badged on the pedals. Boston is the Beta Aivin of The Philippines. I am not sure about GLX though. And there are still many other names which I have not mention... 

The Crack Check

The same friend who told me about LTD in ESP's clothing gave me another advice on the same day: "What I must check when I'm buying a second-handed guitar."
Firstly, he told me that he can't stand those people who look at every single angle of the guitar just to look for a cosmetic faults (scratches, dents, etc..) . This kind of people can be classified as 'fussy buyers'. And he is not the only one who feels like that, he said.

However, he told me to still check for 2 areas in particular; the headstock and the area where the neck and the body joins. He stressed me to avoid buying any guitar with any minimum crack (not scratch) in those areas. He told me that getting a guitar with a crack (regardless of small or big) can cause a lot of trouble when you setup up your guitar, especially when it comes to intonation. 

Music Theme (Drums branch)

Music Theme now has a separate shopfront for drums and percussion only. So if you are getting your Promark drumsticks, you might have to walk to the direction where Woodworkz is located (behind Maestro).

Middle Child Syndrome: Dream (Episode 2)

I just got my copy of Dream EP today. =)

There are 5 songs inside (since it is an EP after all). And I am enjoying them very much!
