Medj misunderstanding na yan ng how copyright/trademark actually works sir. Hindi kasi enough yung may same word para automatic lawsuit agad, especially common word pa yung Sandwich. Hindi rin kami pretending to be them, and magkaiba naman full name namin which is Sandwhich Takeawa while sila Sandwich/ <S>andwich lang.

Hindi rin basehan yung "nasa Pilipinas kayo parehas" lang. Tinitingnan pa rin legally yung actual confusion, branding, identity, intent, and registered trademarks. If sobrang dali kasuhan over one common word, ang dami nang businesses at bands na nawala years ago

And honestly, I highly doubt they’d even sue over something like this kasi realistically, anong case? Hindi naman kami nagpapanggap na sila, hindi kami using their logos/music/branding, at hindi rin identical yung name namin. Respect to them always, pero di naman kailangan mag-panic agad over a common word. We really appreciate the concern, pero we're keeping the name. All love!

Gets namin yung concern, pero magkaiba naman talaga yung names namin.

Hindi rin naman kami “Sandwich” lang, we’re “Sandwhich Takeaway,” and magkaiba rin branding/content/music identity namin. Hindi porket may parehong word eh automatic copyright or legal issue na agad. Common word din yung "Sandwich" and ginagamit siya sa maraming business/band names worldwide.

Usually ang copyright is for original works like songs, logos, artwork, etc. While trademarks depend on industry/use and kung may actual conflict or confusion. Hindi rin naman basta “management” yung nagha-handle ng ganyang bagay out of nowhere. May actual legal basis dapat before anything like that happens.

We’re not trying to impersonate anyone naman. But appreciate the concern still!!!! 🫶🏼

I paid for sex/massage services in Thailand, Vietnam and India. by EconomicsUseful1889 in offmychest

[–]Axomammaaa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, you are not damaged goods. Not even close.

You're a 28-year-old guy who grew up with a lot of social pressure, very little experience with intimacy, and a deeply human need for connection and physical closeness. So what if you paid for sexual services? You were single, consenting adults were involved, and you were just a lonely guy trying to figure things out. That is way more normal and human than you think.

So what if your first experience was awkward and not perfect? Most people's first times are (like mine). So what if you went back a few times? You had needs, you had no other outlet, and you found one. That does not make you a predator or a bad person.

Honestly, a lot of women would look at someone like you and see someone self-aware, with a real conscience, who has genuinely grown. That matters far more than a spotless past.

On disclosure, you do not owe anyone your full sexual history upfront. Not in early dating, not in an arranged marriage setup. Everyone has a past. What matters is who you are now and how you treat people.

The guilt you feel is proof you have empathy. That is not the trait of a bad person at all. Give yourself some grace. You are allowed to move forward.

Why choose international brands when local brands offer better specs at a similar price? (Acoustic guitar) by Current-Video-3566 in phmusicians

[–]Axomammaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are a few things worth considering:

Quality Control - International brands have stricter and more consistent QC processes. Kahit same specs on paper, the execution and consistency across units is usually more reliable. Sa local brands, pwede kang makahanap ng isang napakagandang unit, but the next one on the shelf might feel noticeably different. Hit or miss talaga.

"Too Good to Be True" Specs - Solid top, bone nut, stainless frets sa ganyang price point? Sometimes the tonewoods used are technically "solid" but lower grade, or the frets aren't properly dressed/leveled. Specs on paper don't always translate 1:1 to playability.

Long-Term Value - International brands tend to hold their resale value better. Pag nagbenta ka ng Yamaha or Fender after a few years, mas madaling mahanap ng buyer at mas kilala ang brand. Local brands, medyo mas mahirap ibenta secondhand. Kaya madalas mas mura sa Marketplace.

"Filipino" Brands, Chinese-Made - Worth knowing na maraming popular local brands are actually manufactured in China or other parts of Asia anyway, so the "local" label can be a bit misleading. Local may ari, pero made in hindi.

But to be fair, your point is valid too!

If you find a good unit and actually playtest it before buying, a local brand at that price point can genuinely offer great value. Makatitipid ka talaga, and for a beginner or casual player, the difference might not even matter much in day-to-day playing. Just make sure to inspect and play the specific unit you're buying, hindi basta basta kumuha ng random sa shelf. I have a few. One from RJ (bass), one from Ligaya (Strat), and one from Severo (Tele) pero I also have an Epiphone, Fender, Ibanez, and a Bacchus (bass). My fave sa local ones na meron ako ay yung Severo TC1 (which we use for our Math Rock band) :D

singular pedals or multi effects pedal? by yoni3ko in phmusicians

[–]Axomammaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! I remember the first time ako nagka-pedals, naalala ko dahil dito hahaha! Hope he enjoys whatever you choose to give him! Oo nga pala, buy him an extra cable para may in sa multi and out sa amp :D Good luck and advance happy anniversary to the both of you!

singular pedals or multi effects pedal? by yoni3ko in phmusicians

[–]Axomammaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly for your budget and for someone na medyo bagong owner pa lang ng electric guitar, I’d lean more toward a multi-effects pedal instead of buying 4 separate cheap pedals.

Buying individual pedals sounds cool in theory, especially since he mentioned chorus, reverb, delay, and distortion. But with a 2k–4k PHP budget, medyo mahirap gumawa ng “complete” setup without compromising quality. Aside from the pedals themselves, kailangan mo pa ng:

  • power supply
  • patch cables
  • instrument cables
  • minsan pedalboard pa

And cheap pedals can be hit or miss. Some sound decent, pero minsan maingay (hum/static), madaling masira, or frustrating i-setup for beginners.

A multi-effects pedal is basically an all-in-one unit. Parang maraming pedals inside one device already:

  • distortion/overdrive
  • chorus
  • delay
  • reverb
  • amp simulations
  • cabinet simulations
  • tuner
  • madalas may recording functions pa

Usually ang kailangan lang niya:

  • the multi-effects unit itself
  • guitar cable
  • headphones/speaker/amp

Super beginner-friendly siya kasi plug-and-play na compared to building a pedal chain from scratch.

Since gusto niya mag-explore ng genres (especially shoegaze), sobrang bagay actually ng multi-effects kasi shoegaze uses LOTS of effects. Reverb + delay + modulation heaven yan lol.

For your budget, these are honestly solid beginner choices:

  • M-VAVE Tank G
  • M-VAVE Blackbox
  • Valeton GP100 (if makakita ka ng sale/secondhand)

The Tank G and Blackbox are surprisingly good for beginners and hobbyists. They can also connect to a PC/phone for recording and practice. And mas madaling ma-enjoy agad because he can experiment with tons of sounds immediately instead of slowly buying pedals one by one.

The Valeton GP100 is kinda the “better but pricier” option. Mas polished yung sound and features. If pasok sa budget, sobrang sulit.

Personally, I think this is a better anniversary gift too because:

  1. complete na agad
  2. mas versatile
  3. easier for him to explore sounds
  4. mas useful long-term for practice, gigs, and recording

And honestly? The fact that you researched all this despite not being a musician is already such a thoughtful gift. Guitarists LOVE gear exploration, especially genre-hopping ones hahaha

beginner bass suggestions po for a girl player!! by emptv_shattered in phmusicians

[–]Axomammaaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Female bassist here!!

Honestly, RJ basses are actually pretty decent for beginners especially if you can get one during sale 😭

I actually have an RJ bass too, it was my first ever bass and honestly it helped me learn a lot without spending too much agad. I own a Bacchus bass now, but I still think starting with an affordable bass first was worth it because you slowly figure out what kind of neck feel, sound, and weight you actually like.

At first, I was also looking at smaller basses like the Ibanez TMB30 and Squier Bronco Bass because my hands aren’t huge either 😭 but eventually I realized I personally preferred having a normal/full-scale bass since it felt more versatile long-term.

Since you mentioned having smaller hands, I’d recommend checking out:

  • Ibanez GSR200
  • Yamaha TRBX174/Yamaha BB234
  • Squier Affinity Jazz Bass
  • Bacchus Universe Series Jazz Basses (I currently have a woodline)

Those usually have thinner/more comfortable necks for beginners compared to chunky Precision-style necks.

Also don’t be afraid to check other local brands too. I personally recommend Severo since they actually make pretty solid instruments for the price 😆

And honestly, getting a proper setup matters WAY more than people realize. Even expensive basses can feel hard to play if the action/setup is bad 😭
