While the 4-OTF compares to the smooth, effortless shifting of a syncro-mesh, manual transmission ---- the CRASH BOX 4 is reminiscent of the rough shifting, gear grinding, non-syncro straight-cut, gear boxes in...

Taurus QUBE-350 Acoustic has been designed mainly for double bass players, however, it can also be successfully used to amplify bass guitars.

The amplifier is equipped with two channels which can serve double bass in several ways. A microphone or piezo pickup can be use to amplify the instrument. Each source can be connected to independent channel and at the same time both of them can be mixed.

Two different instruments can also be connected to the amp's channels at the same time and used simultaneously.

Each of the channels is designed with a separate tone correction and GAIN control, which gives great flexibility in setting of expected tone of the instrument.

The tone correction is very transparent/neutral, without any "underlines" so that exact sound of the instrument can be reproduced.

The amplifier is built in analog technology using a class D power amplifier. Such a combination make it possible to obtain small dimensions and weight....

Register via: First Call Bassist Roadmap

(Vienna, Austria) May 24, 2022 – Internationally touring jazz bassist, educator, and five-time author Danny Ziemann will host a free two-day online workshop called the First Call Bassist Roadmap, designed to help bassists transform their listening and playing skills so they can become first-call players.

Bass players have long been the engine of a musical group, providing the necessary foundation for other musicians to play and sound their best. In a jazz context, this includes knowing tons of tunes, being able to learn quickly and accurately without charts, and follow everything that’s happening in any given moment. While these skills are integral for bass players, they’re not so easy to develop.

“There are tons of apps, videos, and other lessons you can use — but even then, they don't lay a clear path...

Brooklyn, NY --- APRIL 14, 2022 --- GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION is proud to announce the addition of a new 15” version of their popular Nu CLASSIC series of compact, lightweight bass cabinets. Along with their “boutique” modern take on classic/vintage cabinet styling, this new model features their advanced, compact vertical design, and “specially-designed” Ferrite/Ceramic magnet low frequency 15” driver and compression tweeter.

The 15” ported cabinet design and construction techniques were specifically selected to deliver the sought-after “big tonal footprint” performance and classic feel of Ferrite/Ceramic loudspeakers in a cabinet “weight class” normally associated with Neodymium speaker cabinets.

The NC-115T offers a very small stage footprint but delivers the huge “push” of a high powered 15” woofer, designed with a carefully selected voice coil and speaker cone, to produce high-output, big venue performance.

The new offering expands the NU CLASSIC line to 4 models in this...
