Microtubes B7K v2

With the Microtubes B7K v2 you get all the features of the original, with the ability to better sculpture your tone: on the low mids you have the option to change the center frequency from 1KHz to 500Hz, and on the high mids you have the option to change the center frequency from 3kHz to 1.5kHz. This will enable you to tailor your absolute dream distortion tone.

The character and core of the Microtubes B7K remains the same, still retaining the powerful dynamic saturation circuit of the B3K and adds a four-band equalizer and a balanced line driver for even greater versatility. Designed for both studio and live use, it will take your direct sound to a whole new level.

Technical upgrades

• Low mid frequency switch: the "Lo Mid" control has now a dedicated switch to shift its corner frequency one octave so in addition to the standard 1kHz now users get 12dB of cut/boost at 500Hz.
• High mid frequency switch: the "Hi Mid" control has now a dedicated...

The Lowlander is a tribute and thorough reinterpretation of one of the world's most famous rockbasses. Some of the goals for this bass were that it should not suffer the hated neckdive and that it shouldn't feel 'extended'. Or more positively stated: it should maintain a comfortable position in every situation. It should encapture the classic sound you'd expect, but also have some added versatility. And it should be strong enough to minimise the risk of a broken headstock.

• Spanish cedar neck and body
• 9 ply neckthrough
• original 34-3/8” scale
• reinforced headstock area
• reinforced neck
• custom logo
• Lollar T-bird pickups

Battle Creek, MI, 10th October 2017 – GHS is delighted to launch their new Balanced Nickels strings for bass guitars, a combination of traditional string materials and modern string design.

Traditionally, bass strings are made by wrapping one cover wire around the core to create the G, two covers for the D and A, and three covers for the E string. GHS’ Balanced Nickels bass strings change all this: in these new sets, they manufacture the G and the E strings by wrapping two covers around the core, bringing a fresh symmetry to the sets. The result is an equilibrium between tonality, tension, flexibility and playability.

Balanced Nickels are available in light and medium gauges for 4 and 5 string basses. Short Scale Balanced Nickels are also available.

GHS’ Balanced Nickel bass strings offer balanced construction, tonality, tension, flexibility and playability – that’s what they mean when they say, ‘play with the best, play GHS!’

Cabinets are probably the most underrated link on a musician's signal chain: we players obsess relentlessly about instruments, pedals and amplifiers, not realizing that without speakers all of these elements merely generate or process electric signals.

But music is heard and felt, not measured. It is made of sound, and speakers are what transform electric signals into sound.

The Darkglass sound is distinctive and unique. It is the foundation our reputation is built upon. We could not continue disrupting the bass guitar market without addressing the most essential part of the signal chain: speaker cabinets.

Loaded with 10" custom made Eminence drivers and a proprietary crossover circuit designed to enhance distortion excited-harmonics in a unique, pleasant way, our 210 and 410 cabinets are our answer to a market in dire need of a new player to shake things up.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (Sept. 18, 2017) - Balancing timeless design and modernized features, Cort introduces the GB75JH model of electric bass guitar. This new addition to the GB7 series meets 21st century demand by combining a proven body and bridge design with enhanced electronics, machine heads and more. Players will make a statement with a bass tone that lives up to this model’s bold esthetic.

The tone, feel and look of the GB75JH centers around its Swamp Ash body. As one of the most popular and widely used woods for solid-body electric basses, Swamp Ash is lightweight but offers a surprisingly tight and punchy sound with a strong high-midrange. Discriminating bassists will appreciate how the GB75JH’s strong, fundamental tone cuts through a mix. They’ll also be drawn to the natural beauty of Swamp Ash, with its distinctive grain patterns that are visible through the transparent finish and clear pickguard.

Beauty meets power with the GB75JH’s Canadian hard maple neck, which...
