Sale... still on?

I talked to Kellie yesterday, she told me all the remaining SALE items will still be on sale till they are out of stock. So that's good news for those of us still hunting for good bargains & if you are looking for Gibson pickups, check out the good discounts at Eillekoet.

Have a great Sunday, everyone.

Eillek SALE

If you are looking for some Ibanez (such as the ZR bridge assembly seen above)/ Fender/ Gibson spares, among others, be informed that Eillekoet is currently having a SALE. You have till 27th June to check them out. Also, get to hear your favourite song being played in-store while you shop- no kidding.

Digitech: Distortion Factory

This is the other item I bought at the last Swee Lee (Sims Drive) sale- Digitech's Distortion Factory. It is actually a modelling pedal with 7 drive/ distortion voicings ranging from a mild kick to full-on heaviness. All this while, the DF-7 was a NETT-priced item so it didn't qualify for a 50% discount on sale days but it was somehow free from this category this time round. This pedal will be placed in the office soon due to its jack-of-all-trades nature. This way I'll be able to conjure the drive/ distortion type I want & not lugging many pedals to the office...

Ball's BFR

This immaculate looking & sounding (EBMM) Petrucci BFR... isn't mine. It belongs to my friend Dhalif who is putting it up for sale. You can negotiate a deal via e-mail: dhalif@gmail.com

Enjoy the pic, deal's off...

Ibanez: Artcore AGB200

I've been wanting this bass, honest. So when it was still available during the Swee Lee SALE yesterday, it was a sign. Nobody was interested in it maybe because it sports a shorter scale length (30"), not a solid body instrument in its entirety & the fact that the neck humbucker there, sitting flushed against the neck end, presented a limited slap-&-pop technique applications. The shorter scale length was the key interest for me so without hesitation, the Ibanez AGB200 became mine.

I love all the features the bass has to offer but the plastic tuners were quite a turn-off.

Like all Artcore models, the body is arched at the top...

... & at the rear. I've not played the instrument enough to give a final say in terms of tone & playability. This will happen at a later update. I can feel the strings here are not .045s, will swap them out soon.

PS: Do note, this AGB200 is a pre-2011 model sporting the former headstock decal. In addition to this revision, the current AGB200 features a pair of Sure Grip knobs & the easy access truss rod cover.
