Where to sell my Taylor guitar?

bumz — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:56:06 +0800

Hello all. I've bought a Baby Taylor Mahogany early this year, and I'm now trying to save for a full size Taylor.

I wish to sell it for RM850, any tips on where to sell it? Not sure if guitar shops in KL buys second hand guitar or not...

Helping The Helpless - Rumah Shalom

bumz — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:51:15 +0800

Hi all, I would like to share with all on the below, which was posted on one of my favourite guitar websites.

Helping The Helpless http://rumahshalom.inc.md

Rumah Shalom was set up in 1997 by Reverend S. Arulandu, whose vision is to provide these unfortunate children love, care, moral, spiritual value and education in a family environment.

To date, Rumah Shalom has 22 children in 4 rented homes within near distance of one another- 1 for girls, 1 for boys, a nursery, and lastly 1 committee home where tuition is taught to the children. With 4 homes to be maintained, the expenses would have felled a lesser man, but not so Reverend S. Arulandu. Under his guidance, Rumah Shalom has been able to weather the storm, but barely. With no steady income, the survival of Rumah Shalom is at stake

3Dmark 2005 very low score

bumz — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 21:20:55 +0800

Hello all sifus, I'm quite a noob here regarding 3dmarks score. Recently purchased a brand new PC with the following specs:

1. Intel core 2 duo E6550 2.33/1333/4MB
2. MSI P35 Neo3-F MS-7395
3. Kingston Hyper-X PC6400 2G LL DDR2-800MH (X 2 total of 4GB RAM)
4. ASUS EN8800GT 512 DDR3 256bit
5. Enlight 550Watt gaming PSU
6. Seagate 320GB 16MB 7200rpm hardisk

After running 3d mark 2005, the score is a little disappointing. Maybe cos I'm still not very familiar benchmarking using 3dmark 2005. Hopefully sifus can tujuk ajar if the score is low or considered ok?

Refretting and pickup installation

bumz — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 20:17:46 +0800

Hi all,

I have a Norman B-18 acoustic and after 2++ years of playing 3 hours a day, the first 5 frets have worn down and i keep getting buzzing notes.

Also, my friend's wedding is next month and I will be performing a song for her. That's why need to install a pickup, else nobody in the restaurant will be able to hear .

I've checked the guitarstore, and they check RM15 per fret, but I'm not sure how is their workmanship... Pickups also they leave me confused with all the types available...

Any recommendations for a good refreting and pickup installation service, my dear forumers?

Hi all,

Recently my acoustic guitar is geeting a perut buncit (swelling on the top). I read on the net that the ideal humidity for to store a guitar is 50%, and my room is 80%

Does anyone know where to buy a dehumidifier here? It seems that those sillica gel packets also can.
