Haha, highlights for today:
Went to check out some guitars with elphin today. Met at dhobby before heading down to parklane mall where we found out that the shop we initially wanted to go to was not yet open for buisness and so we walked abit further down to city music ( the same shop i got my amp from ) and there we checked out some guitars. The lin6 models were quite damn good... stores preloaded guitar sounds such as that of les pauls or strats, really cool but was off budget. The sound was really quite good if i can so say myself.
After which elphin wanted to check out an acoustic which we didnt in the end as we diverted to elecs again haha... was chatting with the dude about squire strats... and he recommended this person and boss to me where i could get a really good deal. Plan to call the guy up and see what i can arrange ((: Elphin at this point also decided to discard the idea about getting acoustics and will dive into the world of elecs.
Tested a craftman tele that was quite good if i should say so myself haha.
We headed back to that shop with the mindset to test squires so as to get a better idea of its quality and feel and such. The squire strat was what i tested at first... was quite good. familar sound and good overall feel of the bridge, didnt really like the pickguard by ah well... next was the bullet strat. Was, what i felt the best among the 3 squires i tested that day. The bridge size was good, the feel of it was really comfortable for me and the sound it produced was what i felt the best as well. After that i tested the strat humbuckle. Not a really great leap in sound quality, bigger bridge that i didnt quite like haha. I like the bullet the best but elphin thinks the humbuckle is the best among the squires.
The lady of the store let us try some project guitars. The first was a rather, uncommon guitar made using wood that was sugested to be nato. Totally custom and the sound it produced was really good imo. but its overbudget hahaha... the next was a lespaul look-a-like haha... didnt really produce nice sounding sounds for the type of songs i play but it made a rather good sound for Yui's Life haha.
After which, headed back down to dhobby plaza sing to have lunch. The strawberry milk desert was nice imo. hahaha
Looked around with elphin who wanted to buy some stuff. Headed down after hahaha.... went to starbucks! I got myself a caramel frap grande
looks really tasty doesnt it? ((:
saw this at their counter hahaha... ugly chicken puff and uglier curry puff
If they are ugly, why sell them XD
Played quite a few shooting games ((: stress relievers XD... headed back home afterthat. hahahaha....
smoker moses taken during our learning journey trip haha....
