True, very true indeed... I understand what you are saying and I will definitely keep that in mind in the future. And btw, no apologies needed sir :)

Well, I'm too lazy to quote and dissect each and everyone's post here, so I'll just have a go at it quickly: wingsdad: mate, there was no need for an apology and I'm sorry if I've forced you into one. :( See, the thing is, I guess your comments were a bit too "direct" and that is what hurt my...

No, nothing like that's going to happen because wingsdad made those comments without knowing the whole story... if he had known what I've said about my teacher now beforehand, then he surely wouldn't have made those comments... no-one would...

And wingsdad, I know you were just trying to help me out here as you've done several times in the past, but really mate, you shouldn't have made those comments about my instructor without knowing the full story first... just imagine how you would feel if you were to stumble upon such comments...

Well, the thing is you are right. I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to playing guitar and I don't feel my finger setup is anywhere near good enough. As a result, I guess I'll have to choose one of the instruments, become good at it and then go for the other one..... more on that...

Hello guys. I've been playing guitar for about an year and I would now like to strat learning how to play the bass. But before making a concrete decision and going out and buying a bass guitar, I would like to know: is playing bass and guitar at the same time detrimental to each other? I mean...

Whoa!! Just found out something really shocking... it appears illegal copies of Gibson and Epi guitars are being made, and here's one way to tell: Lol... looks like I'll be sticking to the S470 then, unless someone has a better suggestion within $500 (new or used) ;)

Well, I'll answer all of your questions in one post. Firstly, yes, I really do want that Les Paul - it just looks so gorgeous and elegant! And yeah, I could easily play it and check it out. And yes, I'm pretty sure it was written on the front or back of the headstock that this guitar was made in...

Okay guys, I'm in a real dilemma right now... I own an used Ibanez S470FM, and now I have the choice of selling it and buying an almost pristine Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I just can't decide what to do! I mean, both these guitars are pretty high quality instruments, and for me it's a pretty...

OK guys, I just bought my gigbag and I'm loving it! Not only does it contain all of the features mentioned by you very knowledgeable people, but it's got even more! I'll give a rough list of all the features: - 20 mm thick padding - Strong, padded backpack-style shoulder straps - Padded...

Hey guys, I have a case for my Ibanez but it's a real hassle taking it places, especially up and down stairways... and I live on the fourth floor! So I'm gonna buy a gigbag real soon. But before making the purchase, I just wanted your opinions on what I should look for while shopping. According...

Hey guys, thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I'll definitely take a look at all of them within the next few days. Btw, what do you think of the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer? A lot of my favourite artists seem to use this, so I would like to know your opinions on it.

Hi guys, I just bought my first ever electric and I've been playing it for about a fortnight using my friends Zoom 505 II multieffects processor. The only setting I really like and use regularly is the distortion I've made using values I found on a website. Anyways, I've now decided not to waste...

Hmm... I'm not much of an expert with electronics and I don't really trust the local guitar techs, so wouldn't it be possible to make a guess using the info I've provided?

Thank you so much mate! You've told me more about my guitar than I ever knew lol! All the specs match except for the finish - mine is satin black so it must have been refinished. This reminds me, I saw a Japanese made Ibanez S470 in the butterscotch finish but it cost slightly more and was...

Hi guys, I just bought an used Ibanez S470 and I'd like to know the year it was manufactured. It has regular dot inlays, an Ibanez Lo-TRS TremII and probably had a AH1-AS1-AH2 configuration, but when I got it the AH1 had been replaced. The serial number at the back of the neck says C8017167 and...

Hi, I recently bought an used Ibanez S470 in which the stock neck pickup had been replaced. The guy I got it off couldn't remember the brand of the pup. So I was wondering if you guys could help me out on this. Here's a picture (it's the humbucker):- http://flickcabin.com/public/view/full/19747...

Hmm... my first ever song (or part of it, at least) would be the intro from Fear Of The Dark. I learnt it off a Guitar Pro tab and was ecstatic afterwards at being able to play one of the most well-known tunes of our time. Do I sound like a seasoned veteran? Hehe, I only picked up the guitar 10...
