What's on my mind .. pt 14

Well folks, its time for what's on my mind ..

its an isolation riser, put the speaker cab on it, very dense foam, weight limit is 300lbs .. to ensure that the sound/vibe does not goes to the floor .. not sure whether i really need this ...

Power Plug - guitar amp attenuator, will shrink the power of the amp without sacrificing the tone, I think it will reduce the watt by more than 90% ... therefore you will not disturb your neighbours .... again not sure whether i need it .. by the way this brand is the cheapest in the market
ahhh .. the ever beautiful Gibson SG Standard, never fail to impress me .. do I need it? .. ohh yes .. hahaha

The making of my 'One on One' Studio ...

Hi folks, it has been a dream to have my own room for me to practice my guitar, so, when I moved in to a new place, that dream came true .. check out the pics ..
swept, washed and mopped = clean

just a small room .. but enough
every studio has a persian rug, mine included

my acoustic treatment for the studio, 8 pillows and 2 comforters, I dont have a budget to install a proper one

more pics soon, my amp is ready to move in ...

Buy .. Buy .. Buy 2013 pt4

So, I went to TGS Hartamas yesterday to check out on patch cables and headphone. Look what I found ..

Rare white tolex ENGL head and cab (Powerball) .... i think around 16k for both
Bought this AKG headphone to replace my already kaput Behringer
Sommer and Amphenol patch cables for my so called rig
I made a mistake, I should have bring my pedals to get the right length, but the patch cables I bought yesterday should be ok (length wise) but could be better. Thanks to Rony and his assistant (TGS Hartamas) for helping me out yesterday.

Round round Singapore !!

Well, its actually round round peninsular plaza .. or was it peninsula excelsior ..

Went to the famous Davis Guitar ..

some nice ESPs from Davis


The Guitar Connection .. lots of 2nd hand guitars


another picture form guitar connection .. few gibson SGs


I met Beez .. he was busy that day, I told him that he is famous, he was sort of frustrated, he told me at one time he was popular .. now he is only famous .. hahaha
I also went to Swee Lee in the same building, got a good deal for a brand new Gibson SG, but I am not ready to buy a guitar at that time.
