slash-ed — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:16:01 +0800

Hi guys,

As some of you may know, I run the guitar website Six-String Samurai. We've recently launched our very own forum for our readers and I'd like to invite you guys to come take a look! I mostly lurk but occasionally post here on LYN, and I know there are some pretty decent people on here - the kind we need in our new community!

I'd like to invite you to be part of our vibrant new community - it's only been live for just over a day, and it's already abuzz with conversation. Come add your voice to the clamour!

Come on over for a visit, sign up, and let's hear what you've got to say!!!

Line 6 HD500 vs SOLDANO SLO100

slash-ed — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 04:59:29 +0800

That's right! Six-String Samurai has got a sweet new gear comparison for you.

Line 6 recently released the Soldano SLO100 based models for their HD500 series, and as luck would have it I've currently got a REAL Soldano SLO100 sitting in my gear room!! I've done a blind A/B test over 4 clips to see if you can tell which is which - if you guess the most number right you'll win some custom picks from me

SLASH!

slash-ed — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 05:15:10 +0800

slash-ed is a Slash fan... who would have thought?

I saw Slash live last Sunday, it was some kick ass shit!! How many of you guys went to see him last year (was it?) when he went to Sunway Surf Beach??

Check out some sweet gig pics here:

Your First Time, and Apocalyptic Love... Live.

Slash/Marshall fans - check it out!

slash-ed — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 06:46:03 +0800

It's severely overdue, since I've had the amp for almost 2 years now, but I finally did a review + clips of my Marshall AFD100!!

I know there are heaps of Slash fans out there, so you should definitely check it out:

Marshall AFD100 review

Enjoy, and as always I welcome feedback and discussion!

What gear did you sell...

slash-ed — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:03:09 +0800

What gear have you sold that you wish you could get back again? Maybe a great guitar, or a one of a kind effects pedal, or an awesome amp?

This is mine... and I finally got it back after 2-3 years!! Check out the story here

What is yours, and did you end up getting it back? Or getting another one like it?

Tech 21 Character Series - the Gig Savers

slash-ed — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 06:56:07 +0800

Hey guys,

I've just written a new blog post for NZ Rockshop (which is basically the biggest music retailer in NZ... kinda like, um, Bentley but less overpriced ).

I did a shootout of a few of the Tech 21 Character Series which are descended from the original SansAmp pedals. I recorded some toneclips for them and had heaps of fun!

The blog post is here: http://www.rockshop.co.nz/community/blogs/...the-gig-savers/

If you have any comments or questions, feel free to let me know either in this thread or on my website: http://sixstringsamurai.co.nz/2012/07/06/t...the-gig-savers/

Cheers!

Charvel Desolation DS1-FR

slash-ed — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 05:51:20 +0800

While I was doing the soundclips for the new Charvel Desolation DS1-FR, it somehow turned into a Dimebag Darrell tribute section... So today I'm paying tribute to one of the greatest metal guitarists who ever lived. Check out the clips, and Getcha Pull!

PRS lovers! 20th Anniversary Singlecut Trem

slash-ed — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:25:28 +0800

PRS 20th Anniversary Singlecut Trem - All That Glitters

Hope you guys enjoy the read, and as always I welcome your opinions, experience and feedback!

I would also like to ask you guys a favour - I know some of your are likers of the Facebook page (thanks!), but unfortunately FB has rolled out "pay to promote" to try and force us to pay for letting more of the group see the status updates. I think this is bullshit, so I would like to ask you guys (if you're interested in hearing the latest from 6SS) to subscribe to email updates.

It's really simple - on the sidebar, just enter your email address and click subscribe. No confirmation/registration email rubbish required. Hope to see you there!

Ibanez - Premium vs Prestige

slash-ed — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 19:16:29 +0800

Hey guys - what's your take on Ibanez Premium series vs the much-loved Prestige series?

I played a Premium series for the first time yesterday, and had mixed feelings - you can read my thoughts on it here:

Ibanez Premium Series - An Unsolicited Opinion

I'd be interested to hear some feedback from you guys, since traditionally RGs are super popular in Malaysia.
