Posted on April 5, 2009 » tagged: frankfurt, musicmesse, TC Eletronic » Add a comment »

A week on the road, with almost no Internet access – Ah, how do we survive these things? Oh, I know… With bass goodness… A few highlights from musicmesse: TC Electronic added the RS410 to their range of cabinets (the RS212 and RS210) for the RebelHead450, announced back at the NAMM show. As you can probably guess from the name, […]

A bit more NAMM2009 bass news, with thanks to Alun Vaughan, who posted about the new Mark Bass pedals on twitter.  Here is a YouTube clip about them, via Bass Guitar magazine, showing the new range. They look solidly built to say the least!

Solo Bass Christmas Carols

Posted on November 19, 2008 » tagged: bass, Carols, Christmas » 3 Comments »

A very big thanks to Andy Long for bringing this one to my attention: Alun Vaughan has released a very special Christmas treat for bass fans: 10 Christmas carol arrangements for solo bass. These are chordal arrangements for solo bass in notation and tablature. It might seem a little early, but you’ll need time to practice, right? You can […]

The Spellbinder is Back!

Posted on August 28, 2008 » tagged: Rick Turner, Stanley Clarke, Thomas Lieber » 5 Comments »

  This fellow looks rather nice. The Spellbinder Bass II marks the return of the model from the synonymous Spellbinder corp (I’ve been desperate to use that word for weeks).
