  2026/10/09

  We've published a new article on our Staff Blog: "Review: How to Choose Bass Strings | Discover Your Ideal Set by Understanding Materials, Core Wire, and Playability!"
  
  When choosing bass strings, do you ever find yourself buying the same set simply out of habit? The tone and feel of bass strings can vary dramatically depending not only on their gauge but also on the winding material, such as stainless steel or nickel, the core construction, such as a round or hex core, and whether the strings are coated.
  
  The article uses models from DR Strings, a brand renowned for its diverse lineup, to provide an easy-to-understand overview of their characteristics, along with tips for choosing among options such as the bright-sounding "HI-BEAM," the warm-sounding "SUNBEAMS," and the next-generation coated "Dragon Skin+" series.
  
  If you're hoping to find your ideal tone with your next set of strings, be sure to check it out!

• [NEW ARRIVAL] Tuner-Compatible and Easier to Remove: Zanshin Musical Instruments EHBC-2 Mounting Holder for BOSS Compact Pedals Now Available!

  

  2026/10/08

  Zanshin Musical Instruments has released the “EHBC-2,” an updated version of its highly acclaimed mounting holder designed specifically for BOSS compact pedals!
  This specialized holder allows you to securely attach your pedals to a pedalboard without applying hook-and-loop tape directly to the pedal bodies. Because it can be installed without damaging the serial number labels or finish on the bottom plates and leaves no adhesive residue, you can build your pedalboard while preserving the value of both collectible and gigging pedals.
  On the new “EHBC-2,” the upper retaining tab has been redesigned to prevent interference with the displays of tuner pedals such as the TU-2 and TU-3, which were not supported by the previous model. Additionally, a release tab has been added, allowing you to remove the pedal while the holder remains secured to the pedalboard. Simply use the tab for easier, smoother installation and removal.
  It is an indispensable accessory for anyone looking to build a clean pedalboard setup while protecting their cherished pedals. Be sure to check it out!
