Who wants Consultation on Betting World Cup

(Actually , it doesn’t work when I AM BETTING , I always lose when i bet . But when i do not bet , i always win )

Okay , lets get over and end the Shred Taiwan Saga. Shit man , i can’t believe i am going to Indonesia in 2 weeks time . I better finish this last post before i get there ..

last time we were HERE, just about to enter the VIP room .

Ok , here we are…

Unlike other VIP rooms that i’ve been . (The usual VIP rooms loaded with Gibsons , PRS , Vintage Fenders …those very sellable ONES lah) ..This VIP room’s concept is slightly different .

The guitars in the VIP room , are more like “players guitar” , not the usual “collector’s guitar” area..

That is the interesting thing of shopping in Singapore , Malaysia & Taiwan for guitar stuff…

In U.S , everything is the same . Sam Ash , Guitar Center …all you do is walk into one and compare price .

Here , at least we have unique shops leh ..

On the wall : Taylor’s Guitar . Tried a few . Okay , don’t ask me about the price tag . It will scare you off . Wasn’t really impressed with it …in terms of value for money..

Lots of SGs and LPs …Actually , i wanted to ask ..why the hell did he use that material on the wall ? temperature? Then what’s the point of the spot lights above ?

A JP Musicman Going for RM6800-RM7000 . Pretty okay prices .

Musicman Bass , with the Fan

Spot the Messa

Now this is what i’m talking about …Very High end Jacksons , with a Sweet ESP on the right ..

Jackson & ESP Shredders would love it .I really dig the third Jackson from the back right , reminds me of my Fender Splattercaster .

PRS , Ibanez J customs , Gibson ZW !!!

Some weirdo guitars in the VIP ..I think its by ESP . And it is SUPER EXPENSIVE too …

Honestly , its my FIRST time meeting this 2 guitars in person . Usually i see this on the internet and thought “which guitar store will stock this up ? for what ? “ ..

I nearly tried , but i think the people around will stare cock at me ..they will probably think ..

“Huh ? Malaysians are into THIS KINDA GUITAR?”

So i gave in to external validation . i did it for Malaysia .

So yeah , there you go . Biggest Music Shop in Taiwan ..

Now , i am inspired to create a VIP room for Music Master …I need to

1. Bring in more high end guitars . (Actually , i just brought in a Gibson ..and it was sold after 2 days ) I do not have a multi 6 digit capital to bring in a range of high end guitars .

2.Destroy one of the Jamming Studios , and make a VIP room . (very possible)

3.Or , move …to a bigger location

Wow , not easy eh?

It seems that everywhere also putting VIP room , Bentley , Evolution Music , Guitar Collection (VIP Section) ..

Are GUITAR STORES PRACTICING CLASSISM ? separating the poor buyers from the rich buyers .

Or is it , too many people go guitar raping and end up not buying , so they need a “room” for serious buyers .

I am a guy who believes in testing and feeling before buying . You can always test my guitars at Music Master , no matter who you are , whether you have the money or not .

Come to think about it , even I do it. Thank God my suppliers are friendly enough to let me test drive the guitar , before i order them . If they treat me this way , why can’t i treat others this way?

I rather spend some money to travel , make sure i know who i am dealing with , make sure the guitars are alright , at least try to TEST IT OUT , Then only buy .

I know i could have gone “online” , deal with them through email and get the stocks in . But hell no , i will only do that if i have someone who is TRUSTABLE on the other side of the country , or at least someone i personally know, who will be responsible .

The trend of people buying “online” is getting more and more popular , i am OKAY with that , but remember , the numbers of internet scams are increasing . You might wanna keep that in mind . Always , test before you buy . If not , go for a reputable or a trustful seller that provides great after sales service .

RATING for ATB Tony’s Music World : 8 out of 10

Okay , since i’ve finish my Guitar Shops in Taiwan ..and i am a random person . I wanna rant about some shit that happened today

I opened jamtank , and i saw this .

Like wtf man ? Jamtank is gonna be another lelong.com.my ?  Lun did a great job by voicing out . But he got turned down . I think having multiple threads is fine , but bumping 20 threads at one time to flood the whole thing ? Just create a blog and put everything in lah .

Btw , i have a cool new product , check this out .
