Bensalem, PA – New for 2023, Ibanez has introduced two new additions to its singlecut BTB lineup. The BTB865SC and BTB866SC combine the unique, high-end aesthetics of a single cut bass with sleek and aggressive visuals.

Januaary 10th 2022 PAVIA, ITALY: Nembrini Audio, is pleased to introduce its new Bass Driver plugin, a 3 band overdrive / amp sim based on the SansAmp Bass Driver D.I.*. See it In use here.

For more than thirty years the original SansAmp Bass Driver D.I. from Tech 21* has had a reputation as an essential tool for bass players. The clever design of this key pedal simulates the authentic sound of a tube stack and offers big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions and everything in between.

The new Nembrini Audio Bass Driver extends the possibilities of the original, allowing users to sculpt their bass tones even more to give beautiful contemporary textures and balance.

For decades, guitarists have turned to the G&L S•500 for a classic design with added versatility and a bold sound thanks to its MFD pickups, Passive- Treble-Bass tone circuit and expander switch. These enhancements give the S•500 levels ofgrit, energy and sophistication that other, similar guitars just can’t reach.

The new CLF Research S•500 pauses to consider the history unfolding on Fender Avenue in the late 1970s. It’s a sort of retro-futurist dream, imagining Leo Fender’s late ‘70s Magnetic Field Design pickup technology and Dual Fulcrum vibrato system packaged on a model that could have predated the earliest G&L guitars produced in 1980. For the journey back in time, John R. McLaren has substantially modified the pickups from the current production S•500 spec, including the coil bobbin aperture, length of pole pieces, wire turns and more. John sought to create a softer, sparklier sound without losing the sense of smoothness and strength expected from an S•500.
