I’m owning the 5 strings electric bass before, but I’m not very satisfied with it because that 5 strings bass (let me named it as ‘ black’) was very heavy for me when I’m practically prefer to play like Tetsu- L`anc en ciel. So, I went to Bentley which is situated at Bukit Bintang - in front of lot 10 and decide to buy another Ibanez bass guitar, but this one only contain 4 strings and I really love play it because it’s more lighter than Black and the fretboard are much more small..easy for me to do some addition notes.

Well, the left one is 4 strings bass guitar ( I named it as Superb) and the right one is Black. Both of them were from Ibanez but with different type of function. Superb is most likely to have more treble and easy for me to play some slapping n popping song such as RHCP. On the other hand, Black has more bass sound and suitable for playing the hard core song such as korn and slipknot.

Don’t forget to comment my video playing Au revoir at youtube. Watch it here!!

I’ve just remember, I not even say any words about this two big events which will be held on this coming March. I’m not familiar about the MNTA, the details is here. Well, I’m one of the TalentTime committee and in charge the technical part. By the way, my task is not very hectic compare to the Sponsor Division. But, technical is still important what!!..

Just now, Mahadi and I went to Bandar Sunway and manage to meet some event management company. We went to rythmix studio and ask the quotation. After that, we contact the SKH(event management company..quite popular), and we were very shocked because the ladies request us to ask anything that we’ll need and she will give us the quotation. So, simply give us the easier way to accomplish our task.

I send a message to Shea, at her blog, and she asked me to contact her for further more details. Well, bad lucks, I lost her contact number. Changing to a new phone as well as a new phone line made my phonebook list shorter..

Just chatting with my drummer, about the audition, as we don’t pass the AW audition, we had some post mortem session in which to identified our main problem. Well, we forget about the past and just carry on with our next event, such as GEMA, TalentTime and Battle of The Band at Melaka campus. Although it is a lot of frustration (we really committed for AW), but we can’t do anything else. The power were on the judges and high-comm.

A flashback through this week.

On Tuesday, my parents and I went to the police station situated at Cyberjaya and do a report about threatening. I was threaten by a guy(to beat and kill), at first, I didn’t managed to acknowledge his message, but after five times of the same type of messages, my parents keep this things seriously in other to stop this moron guy little problem.

So, the Investigation Officer called that guy and give him a warning, and it’s over. Logically, I want to take a safe side as well as don’t want to involve with any kind of hatred. I admit it, he had some inferior problem with me because her current girlfriend always talking good things about me. I don’t care what type of girls she are, but when her boyfriend do some serious crime, I do not hesitated to protect myself.

Thursday and Friday, I didn’t attend all the classes because I was too lazy. We will be celebrating Chinese New year and most of the lecturer (especially chinese) just talking about going back to hometown. I’ll come back to my hometown tomorrow, anybody can drive the car for me..I’m too lazy!!..

This is my first attempt playing bass part of Au Revoir by Malice Mizer. This song also will be played as one of our audition materials on 3rd of Feb at MMU Cyberjaya, Audiowarfare 2007. I using guitar pro 4 instead of using the real song as sound background because by using the software, I can mute the bass part. So, you can hear I playing the bass alone. I’m still not good enough playing this song, but this will encourage me to do better next time. Enjoy!

p/s: Listen to the original Au Revoir song

To be honest, I’m vey excited to play au revoir for the next Audiowarfare Audition. Certainly, I already discuss the structure of the song with my guitarist, and the main problem is we don’t have keyboardist..arghh..

So, we decided to ask our friends, adreial to play the keyboard part for us, but can’t contact him until now. I love Au revoir song because the arrangement of the bass and drum was perfectly planned. To those that don’t understand what I mean, I recommend all of you to watch Malice Mizer - Au Revoir Live at youtube.com.

Just to inform that, I’ll be playing for 2 bands. Psychoustic will focusing on Metal genre and Duo will concentrate on J-rock genre. (I love J-rock!!)

Yesterday, I had an argue with my current bandmate’ girlfriend. I’m telling her that I want to play some technically song, but I need her boyfriend, my current drummer, to practise the technical of the drum. I admit that, he is working for the sake of his family, but I think, I also working but I still can’t spend my time to do some practise on technical part of bass. So, I ask her to tell her boyfriend to practise at least 2 hour during the weekend, just for this Audiowarfare event. But she just keep telling me that, her boyfriend is too busy, and she told me that it is my problem on how to arrange the bass line with the drum beat.

By the way, I admit that my drummer more talented on speed and not skill. But, I think, Joey, the drummer of Slipknot, also have have an incredible speed as well as an impressive technical. So, if we learnt and practise more, then we can do it.

By the way, I’m not putting a full hope on Psychoustic band although this band have a lot of equipment such as Joey signature series stick, K-7 guitars, Rg series guitar, 5 strings bass, zoom effect, and line 6 effect. So great huh, for the level of university student. There are so much different from Psychoustic and Duo in terms of equipment. As well as Duo, we only had an Rg Ibanez guitar, bass 5 strings ibanez, a wooden sticks - not signature and a keyboard which is I borrow from my cousin. But, I can see the future of the band, because all of us have the same interest and committed to practise.

The Duo band also had finished writing and compose the song and I’m still waiting from the psychoustic, to arrange structure of the rythym..duhh..

Important news!! - I’ve just contact the director of the event and he claimed that the audition will be posponed to 3rd of February 2007.

To those MMU students that have pasision about the music stuff, check it out the official audiowarfare site now. This event will be among the 2007 top rated event in which all the talented band will composing their songs and trying hard to win the heart of audience and the judges.

By the way, all kind of music genre being acceptable during the audition such as jazz, rock, heavy metal and +++. Of course, if you are a talented musician, you’ll get the popularity and being chased by the hot chick..haha
