My new toy is finally here!!! "It feels like Christmas" I told Steven Wong, our church sound man... really! Bobby was also waiting anxiously, but he was waiting for the other item that was arriving along with the Beta 58A.
I bought these on ebay few months back but the sellers would only ship to an American address. So San San, who was initially planning to come back for a holiday, said she would help me bring it back. So I bought the item and it was sitting pretty in her house till about 2 weeks ago. It arrived along with my "other new toy" - the Zoom 506 Bass multi effect pedal. The Zoom 506 Bass was purchased to encourage my church bassists to be more passionate about their instrument. I am basically buying this for Bobby to use. Timothy Raj and Derrick are also eager to try it out.

Hey bro, nice cool SHURE!
You should check out a parcel forwarding company like Bongo International http://www.BongoUS.com
They give you a US address and allow you to consolidate all your US purchases into one box. The process can save you hundreds of dollars. Check them out...
Wow... Thanks champ2244, that will really help so much!!! I'm an ebay-aholic. It will also help to have a US address to bid on US only auctions.
Btw, who are you? Do I know you? Have you used the parcel forwarding service before?
Someone's got GAS =)
Hey Yew Keong! ...uhm... What's GAS? I sound like a total noob on my own blog >.<
Looks like many of my readers are into my mic! If there are any out there who are considering one for your church (or for yourself), contact me, I would like to help you out.
I will post about my guitars someday.
You should try selling my guitar too. Classical solid top with pickup...

duh! He's from the company he's recommending (google "champ2244"). Word to the wise kids: don't trust companies that have to SPAM to get business.
