  The 2026 Z-TYPE OAK snare drum model has just been released as part of the PEARL Masterworks series!
  Paying homage to the legendary Zenithal Resonator, commonly known as the Z series, from the 1980s and 1990s, this Japan-exclusive model achieves a richer, more substantial sound by switching from maple to oak. The 60-degree bearing edges and golden-ratio AIR vents ensure excellent response and rich resonance. The Champagne Lacquer finish and nickel hardware, hallmarks of the classic Z series, complement the beautiful wood grain and enhance its luxurious feel.
  The lineup includes two sizes: 14 x 5 inches and 14 x 6.5 inches.
  Since this is a limited-edition model, do not miss this opportunity!

  From PLAYTECH, renowned for being affordable yet high-quality, comes the new PBH300, a Class-D bass amp head that’s lightweight yet boasts a generous maximum output of 600W!
  Despite its lightweight design at just 5.6 kg, this full-fledged amplifier is capable of delivering 300W at 8 ohms and 600W at 4 ohms. With a wide frequency response ranging from 30 Hz to 18 kHz, it clearly reproduces everything from the deep low end of a 5-string bass to the crisp attack of slap playing.
  It features two types of PRE GAIN controls: TUBE and SOLID. The TUBE setting delivers the warmth and rich harmonics reminiscent of a tube amp, while SOLID provides a tight, well-defined modern sound; you can mix the two to achieve your preferred balance. This allows for a wide range of tone shaping tailored to your genre and playing style.
  The input section supports both passive and active pickups. Additionally, it features a 10-band graphic EQ that’s easy to adjust visually, allowing for precise tone shaping tailored to your playing environment and preferences.
  Easy to transport to the studio or stage, this stage-ready bass amp head delivers ample volume while offering detailed tone shaping. Be sure to check it out!
