  ■ Ibanez / EHB1005F-AOM
  
  The fretless model, "EHB1005F-AOM" from Ibanez's EHB series of headless basses designed for modern bassists, is now on the market. The Richlite fingerboard is an eco-friendly material that boasts excellent acoustic properties. It produces a gentler sound than hard fingerboard materials and works well with fretless playing. One of the most appealing features is the fingerboard's luminescent side position inlays, dyed in the Blue Canyon color. The design of this series is unique and exudes an elegant beauty that has not been seen before. In addition, the EHB body shape now has a horn back shape allowing easy access to the high frets.
  Additionally, the chambered body design adds a unique touch. You can sense the body's inner vibrations, similar to those of a hollow object. It features a monorail bridge that allows for adjustable string distance and a Vari-Mid 3-Band EQ that can be switched between active and passive modes for precise customization to match your playing style. The quantity in stock is limited as this is a SPOT production model.

• Limited quantities of the ZEMAITIS bass overdrive "ZMF2023BD" are now available.

  

  2023/05/16

  ■ ZEMAITIS / ZMF2023BD
  
  ZEMAITIS has launched a new overdrive for bass called "ZMF2023BD," and only 100 units are available in the first production run.
  
  The overwhelming presence of the metal front, the symbol of ZEMAITIS, is directly applied to the appearance of the effect pedal. This product has a unique feel due to its beautiful aluminum alloy plate engraving. It can cover a wide range of distortion, from natural to intense, as if it were being driven by a large tube amp from the 1970s. The absence of diode clips results in a clear distinction in the distortion sound. Moreover, the drive control can be turned up without compromising the bass quality, producing a rich tone. The SW-TONE SYSTEM bypasses the tone circuit by turning down the tone control. This pedal is handcrafted in Japan and delivers a sharp sound for slap techniques and other uses. It is durable and can be used for many years.

• We have the "SRC6MS-BLL," Ibanez's newest multiscale 6-string bass, available for purchase now.

  

  2023/05/15

  Ibanez / SRC6MS-BLL
  
  We now stock the SRC6MS-BLL, the latest addition to Ibanez's multiscale 6-string bass collection. This bass is the 2023 SR Crossover model, which introduces a unique take on the traditional 30" short scale. With each string having an optimized scale and tuned an octave lower than a guitar (1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E), this innovative bass broadens the creative possibilities for electric bass players. The monorail bridge is designed with each string being independent, which makes it possible to adjust the height and position of the saddles finely. With its wide adjustment range, this feature enables users to create flexible changes to the string gauge.
  Additionally, Controls have active/passive switching and a 3-band EQ with Mid frequency band setting. The slanted pickups are designed to match the multiscale, resulting in a warm and well-balanced, attractive sound. The body is constructed from Okoume, which has comparable sound qualities and wood texture to mahogany. Finally, please check out the latest 6-string bass that responds to multifaceted modern playing styles.

• Check out Vivie's latest addition, the "Baby Rhino" overdrive pedal designed specifically for bass

  

  2023/04/28

  ■ Vivie / Baby Rhino
  
  The Vivie Professional series recently introduced a new overdrive pedal for bass called "Baby Rhino." This model utilizes the distortion circuit from the well-known "Rhinotes" pedal to produce top-notch drive sound quality. Furthermore, it boasts a 2-band EQ (Bass/Treble) designed explicitly for distortion effects. In addition, its compact size allows for easy integration onto a pedalboard. Although it is based on the "Rhinotes" design, the "Baby Rhino" has the potential to become a new standard pedal due to its high-quality drive sound and user-friendly EQ control.
