  2026/08/08

  PLAYTECH has released the BPA-300, a compact pedal-style power amplifier designed for live bass performance.
  
  Despite its compact footprint, the BPA-300 delivers up to 300W at 4 ohms and 200W at 8 ohms. It can be paired with a preamp or multi-effects unit to drive a speaker cabinet directly.
  
  The built-in EQ allows you to fine-tune your sound to suit the connected equipment and the acoustics of the venue. This makes it easy to build a practical live rig centered around your favorite preamp or effects unit, without carrying a conventional amplifier head.
  
  Combining portability with powerful output, the PLAYTECH BPA-300 is an excellent choice for bassists looking for a compact and flexible live setup.

• Solid Bond Releases the "String Spreader" – A Handy Tool for Holding Loosened Strings Out of the Way!

  

  2026/07/31

  Solid Bond has released the SB-SS String Spreader, a new tool designed to make guitar and bass maintenance significantly easier!
  By placing the curved section against the back of the neck and hooking the loosened strings into each end, you can temporarily move the strings off the fretboard. By securely holding the strings at two points—near the upper and lower sections of the neck—it eliminates the hassle of the strings popping back into place while you work.
  You can perform tasks such as applying fretboard oil, polishing frets, and adjusting the nut much more efficiently without having to remove the strings from the tuning pegs. Available in four colors—Black, Red, Blue, and Green—this handy tool will make your maintenance routine much more convenient. Be sure to check it out!
