Framus Guitars and Warwick Basses with new, high quality flight cases
Jun 04, 2013 - 1:44 PM - by TalkBass
Beautiful, first-class instruments deserve first-class protection without compromises. As a result, we at Framus & Warwick have not only refined our flight cases for all "Made in Germany" instruments, but also redesigned them for an even more elegant look. Furthermore, they are now even more durable and secure. Our new cases come with aluminum angles, chrome-plated ball corners, three rugged hinges and two powerful butterfly locks. Naturally, they are also crafted from components free from formaldehydes and other toxic substances.

The inside of the case is padded with a flexible and soft layer of plush fabric with a beautiful shade of silver gray, which provides a perfect rest and optimal protection for the instrument. Two thick foam pads for the body and a thick and... [Read More]

PJB Briefcase Ultimate Limited Edition Amp Inbox x PR x
Jun 04, 2013 - 1:39 PM - by TalkBass
Ever since its introduction into the bass amplification world 10 years ago, the Phil Jones Bass Briefcase has quickly become THE standard for fantastic sound and tone in a small, easy to carry enclosure. With over 5,000 PJB Briefcase amps in 28 countries, it was time to say "thank you!" with a special, limited edition of this classic amplifier: the PJB Briefcase Ultimate.

The first thing to notice is that the Briefcase Ultimate is now rated at 160 watts RMS (over the original 100). New higher power Piranha speakers with a larger voice coil and magnet system, combined with the new Rectangular Auxiliary Low Frequency Radiator (RALFR, originally introduced with the PJB Double Four) mean that the Ultimate plays louder, deeper and cleaner than the original Briefcase, which is a...

Now Available: MXR Bass Overdrive from Dunlop Manufacturing
Apr 10, 2013 - 1:30 PM - by TalkBass
NOW AVAILABLE - Put some snarl into your bass tone with the MXR Bass Overdrive, the latest offering from the award-winning MXR Bass Innovations team. This stompbox delivers warm, harmonically rich overdrive while keeping your low end deep and focused.

Dialing in a big and burly sound with the Bass Overdrive’s four controls is fast and simple. Use the Clean control to blend in a clean signal tuned to bring out the organic richness of the overdrive across the tonal spectrum. Crank the Drive control for an aggressive, cut-through-the-mix sound, or dial it back for a subtle growl to use like a second channel. The Tone control only affects the overdrive signal, and the Volume control sets the pedal’s overall output level.

The MXR Bass Overdrive comes housed in a... [Read More]

PJB BG-75 Double Four Micro Amp
Apr 02, 2013 - 1:28 PM - by TalkBass
Over the years, bass players have watched their amps get smaller and smaller. Phil Jones Bass has been on the forefront of this "micro amp" trend with its Briefcase, and the Bass Cub. That's about to change again. New for 2013, Phil Jones Bass has once again redefined the micro amp with the amazing signature PJB sound with the Double Four amplifier. Sporting new driver design, acoustic loading and the latest in digital amplifier technology, the Double Four looks as if it defies the laws of physics.

We pushed our current expertise with smaller drivers and created the Neo Power 4 inch drivers. These speakers are able to cope with the extreme signals coming from an amplified bass guitar. Each 4 inch speaker is also fed with its own PWM amplifier, an extremely efficient... [Read More]
