Pusing2 kat Plaza Alam Sentral semalam singgah kat satu kedai CD..terjumpa CD si Yan Lefhanded...in person bersama beliau dgn menunjukkan bakat dan skil beliau memetik gitar bass. Rasanya video tersebut di rakam pada tahun 2006 kut...rega beli RM19.90
Permulaan cd menampilkan sesi jam Yan bersama budak2 dia di studio...drummer dia rasa cam kenal...tapi saper tah???? derang main 2 lagu yaitu 1. Semangat Lamina 2. Seruan....Lepaih tue baru sesi bersemuka dgn Yan...diakhiri dgn temuramah bersama Loloq..
Namun agak menghampakan sebab overall video rasanya tidak diplan secara professional....main hentam kromo jer.... bahannya pulak tidak ler spt mana yg diharapkan....takder apa sangat pun ilmu yg diturunkan.....rasa membazir jer duit!!!! Tapi takper la...at least boleh tengok fingering dan coding Yan masa lagu Seruan...sebab lagu nie salah satu lagu yg kitorang main.....the rest tue leh lar dapat teknik sikit skil slap....grooving....dan 2 handed playing...
Dijangkakan Sapphire akan berkumpul di Orange Studio Sek 26, pada Ahad ini jam 5pm. Since few competitions are just around the corner, we'll push a bit harder for the preparation. Experience in BOTB in Sg Buluh last year hopefully can guide Sapphire to be more presentable on stage. Songs selection is yet to be finalised but definitely we'll tailor suit with the organiser's requirement. But, can give a shot on few covers that we currently playin, or maybe will find other good songs to experiment.
Disamping tue jugak, Poey sedang mengumpulkan articles dan info di net utk mendalami ilmu utk membuat recording secara DIY. Mungkin boleh diguna pakai once every tools day ready utk kick off nanti. But for now...need to upgrade PC kat umah dulu bagi sesuai dgn requirement yg minimam.... processor, hard disk, ram capacity, sound card, mic dan record software are among the initial investment yg akan dibuat soon!!
Poey jugak bercadang utk upgrade gear sedia ada...probably Behringer Bass V amp modeler akan digrabbed together with practise amp....ini semua adalah bagi memudahkan practise dan juga proces recording nanti....
Selain itu, Poey juga plan utk menambah sebijik gitar electrik for self collection..juga utk tujuan recording dan song writing....insyaallah !!! Kalau ader rezki lebih2,,,,,ekekek

Errrmmm...this blog was so silent for the past 2 weeks...Poey was just coming back from vacation..& apparently other members also having their own occasions, that the jamm session has to be postponed. Yet to finalize the actual date, but perhaps Sapphire can continue practising on this 30th Dec or 1st Jan. We gonna add a new instrumental track from Steve Vai... a song called ' Cryin Machine' + 'Suara Kita', Wings cover.
