This is a follow up on my recent article that reviews how to get musical instruments & music gear on a payment plan with no credit check.  Aside from being a journalist, my first love is, was and always will be music. I've bought a ton of recording gear over the years to capture my work. One thing I learned in the process is that you can't settle for cheap music equipment - the higher end gear does have the ability to make or break an album. The issue for most people is that they don't have fifty bazillion dollars to spend on high end recording gear and they don't want to go without recording at all. That's where zZounds is pretty hard to beat. They offer musicians zero interest financing options with no credit check.  You don't have to worry about taking out another card, racking up tons of interest, lowering your score with queries to your credit history or even having good credit at all - you can order the gear you need, have it shipped right to your door and enjoy it while you make easy, affordable payments.  Another treat is zZounds consistently awesome and intelligent customer support and service.

Here's my itemized review of zZounds:

#1 - zZounds has a truly epic selection of multitrack recorders, microphones, mixers, studio signal processors, studio monitors, stereo master player and recorders, recording accessories, studio racks and workstations, books and other digital media on recording and some pretty awesome computers that are built just for audio recording in the studio!

#2 - Right now, zZounds is offering recording artists payment plans with no interest and no credit check.

#3 - zZounds guarantees the best price on everything they sell - if you find a better price (even up to 45 days after you buy your recording gear) they'll beat it!

#4 - Well over a thousand screaming fans on Bizrate give zZounds a perfect 5 star rating!

#5 - You get free shipping on many orders and most customers don't even have to pay tax.

Getting financed is easy, go to www.zzounds.com, look for the "Play as you Pay" icon next to the gear you want, add at least $249.00 in merchandise to your cart and tick the payment plan you want at checkout.  Happy shopping!

InertiaPhobe Releases "The Last Door" Music Video

After over a month of waiting for bursts of inspiration, I was able to carefully and subjectively complete this new caprice for piano and set it to a video.  I titled it "The Last Door" because of the inspiration that's behind it.

I got the the idea to write this song when I was going through some old family photos; one specifically really made me think.  It was an image of a Christmas get together at my Grandparents house that took place about 25 years ago.  There are fourteen people in the picture and looking at it, I realized that only seven of these people are still living today.  It just blew my mind - it hasn't been that long, yet in this short amount of time, all of these people are gone.  I think I certainly used this song as a vehicle to express the loss I went through last year, when my four month old son, unexpectedly passed away due to SIDS.

This caprice about the brevity of life, but more importantly, it's about hope for a new and better existence in the next.  There are many doors that lead us to so many places in life, but ultimately, they will all lead to the final door, a door into the eternal unknown.

How to Get Instruments & Music Gear on a Payment Plan With NO Credit Check

Having bad credit doesn't mean you can't get financing on instruments anymore.

It's often hard for musicians to afford the professional instruments and recording equipment they want. Credit is hard to qualify for these days and payment plans just don't seem to be offered by almost anyone without a credit check.

With music, it's hard to settle for cheap gear because the sound you get out of generic brand instruments seems to inevitably echo the price tag. In order to learn an instrument or play shows that people will talk about or want to come back to again, musicians need professional gear. If you're trying to make a demo to get signed to a label, chances are, recordings you make with cheap mics and poor software just aren't going to allow anyone to really hear your talent or know how amazing you can sound. If you're an indie band, it's just as important to make sure people are buying recordings they'll love so that they'll by the next album you put out too.

Being a songwriter and music major and just overall music fanatic, I've been in this bind before and did a lot of searching. After a lot of disappointments, I found one company called Zzounds not only offers four month financing with no credit check and no fees, but also guarantees the absolute lowest price on everything they sell!

Zzounds has a massive selection to choose from and a payment plan available to anyone making an order over 249.00 USD. All you need is a credit or debit card to make your musical aspirations possible. Regardless of your credit, also consider that you save money by not having to pay interest versus a credit card purchase, so it's really an amazing option for anyone looking to finance music gear.

I also did some digging and found Zzounds currently has perfect five star rating on Google Shopping, which is pretty rare to see these days to say the least.
So if you want to get that guitar, drum set, digital piano or whatever on a payment plan, with no credit check and prices as low as any other major music shop is going to offer, I'd definitely check out ZZOUNDS.COM 

and make it happen today!

PS, if you can find a lower price, I believe they will beat it by 10% if you call them on it!

Happy shopping!
