jV – Loud and Raw http://loudandraw.com Moving Forward Wed, 19 Apr 2017 02:09:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.1 Stacking the racks http://loudandraw.com/archives/1886 http://loudandraw.com/archives/1886#respond Sat, 15 Apr 2017 01:48:45 +0000 http://loudandraw.com/?p=1886 Share

In search for sturdy racks, i came across raxxess at guitarcenter.com. Not only that it looks sturdy enough for my use, it looks something of a big space saver for me. Having various designs to suit one’s need, it may as well end up being a good furniture piece for my music room. I ordered one for my amplifier, the one that has security cover so I would not worry about someone tinkering my equipment whenever im not around.

Sustaining Distortion http://loudandraw.com/archives/1883 http://loudandraw.com/archives/1883#respond Sun, 29 Jan 2017 03:06:22 +0000 http://loudandraw.com/?p=1883 Share

Looking for a big-bad-ass pedal that can sustain your ringy distortion? Well, better try big muff pi for this shall answer your prayers. Its something I never experience before for a pedal. I have tried lots, and believe me, this is insanely good. Its clean, clean clean sounding distortion with the extended effect to it that no other pedal can offer especially on its price range. Need crispy smooth distortion now? why not give a try?

Tons of Guitars http://loudandraw.com/archives/1881 http://loudandraw.com/archives/1881#respond Sat, 28 Jan 2017 02:35:25 +0000 http://loudandraw.com/?p=1881 Share

Been dealing lots of guitar inquiry ever since i posted my guitar for sale. Just like a Guitar-A-Thon, too many offers are being thrown to my artcore series guitar. There are trade offers and price off offer but I cannot let it go to such. The reason? because for me guitars that I kept for a long time have such values to me but of course, these values cannot be passed on to the next owner. Whichever the case, I’m keeping my guitar even though tons of offers are being put to the table for trade yet I need cash more than anything right now.

Years ago I had this project. To make a diy electric guitar. Though years ago, parts can be a bit harder to find. There may be parts locally but the options are not quite good. So comes the age of internet and parts became easier and easier to find. Not inly that, reviews of certain products are also easier to find and no more guessing game for us. SO if you are looking for parts for your own project, might as well consider surfing through the online world for better grip on the parts before you make a purchase.

All-in Guitar http://loudandraw.com/archives/1876 http://loudandraw.com/archives/1876#comments Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:31:04 +0000 http://loudandraw.com/?p=1876 Share

So you love to play acoustic but then you’d like to switch to a good sounding electric guitar? Then fender kingman may be just right for you.  It comes easy to switch from one music to another and of course, if will be most useful in any music you play. What’s good with it is that it is flexible in terms of its sound, you can be below yet you can be aggressive but most importantly, its fender and everybody knows that a fender never fails its user.

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12, and had lots of guitar bought and sold just to find my perfect sound. I remember one time my friend ask me where to buy guitars because they noticed guitars come and go my possession. I was able to find the perfect match for me, a guitar that is not being sold in the market anymore that time and its perfect. However, finding guitars today is an easy task because online shops can find one for you.

Audio Room http://loudandraw.com/archives/1871 http://loudandraw.com/archives/1871#respond Sun, 11 Sep 2016 01:00:05 +0000 http://loudandraw.com/?p=1871 Share

I just recently finished re-arranging my room. Replacing my bed, desk and of course installing a yamaha sound system. With all these in place, my room never sounded so great. From easy listening to playing back my past tunes, all of it is way cooler that what my past setup was. Now i’m planning to install one on our TV set for music and movies to make it sound like a concert or a live movie.

Looking for an online music store that is trusted for delivering its promise? I recommend musicianfriends as I’ve been an avid customer since I can remember. I live in PH and ordering online is just too easy than looking for my gears locally. Up until now they still have wide variety of gears that help make quality music. Musicians from all over the world can find what they want with their store and speaking of which, I guess I need to find myself a new set of gears for my guitar.

Stand up for the right to play http://loudandraw.com/archives/1865 http://loudandraw.com/archives/1865#comments Tue, 22 Mar 2016 09:48:21 +0000 http://loudandraw.com/?p=1865 Share

Music stands are handy specially if you are playing stringed instruments. However, it is very versatile that it can be used with various musical instruments as you see fit. So versatile that if in case you want to get one, you need to have a heavy duty stand for your heavy duty music needs.

I remember a time when I only use an improvised music stand to hold my sheets, scores and some other things. The tendency to fall down is high and it does not look good in the eyes. When playing music, you need to be comfortable with your gears and also the surrounding, an eyesore if I may add. But with K&M, the stand looks sturdy, heavy and well made. Why would I go back to my old wooden improvised stand? This will last a long time and maybe a lifetime.

I’m sure that somewhere in your path to music, the need for a music stand will be of high importance so better get one now.

Going digital http://loudandraw.com/archives/1863 http://loudandraw.com/archives/1863#respond Thu, 17 Mar 2016 16:13:11 +0000 http://loudandraw.com/?p=1863 Share

My sister have this upright piano for a long time however she want to go digital and look for digital piano in the market. Her reason behind this is that she can’t practice anytime she wants because it is loud and neighbors might not be too happy hearing her playing late at night, not that it sounds awful, in fact she plays really nice. Then  I told her to go research on Williams digital pianos and she might like it. Its safe to say that she can play to her heart’s content without worrying about anyone hearing her by using her headphone. Now I wonder when she’ll get her digital piano.
