DKMG Dinky (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Love mine. I have it in the satin black finish, and it really plays fast and smooth. Great for shredding and lead guitar, but very versatile too and cleans up very well also. Powered by two active EMG's, the sound you can get from it is quite amazing, and it is a fairly affordable guitar considering it's caliber. Made in Japan, and over there they produce guitars every bit as good, if not better, than their American counterparts. Would definitely recommend.

Ampeg SVT Micro-VR Bass Head: A Compact Powerhouse Don't be fooled by its diminutive, dare we say "cute", appearance. The Ampeg Micro VR Bass Amp Head is a compact powerhouse fully capable of pumping its 200 watts of genuine Round SoundTM into myriad live and recording situations. This portable, powerful solid-state head in traditional Ampeg drag is a pleasant surprise from the second you lay eyes on it to the moment its indisputable Ampeg tone hits your ears. The Micro-VR head delivers 200W of pure Ampeg tone, in a package that could practically fit in your pocket. This deceptively small head provides the looks of the classic SVT-VR that made the original famous in the 1970's. A balanced direct out, -15dB pad, on-board limiter and dual speaker outs offer tremendous versatility whether on stage, or in the studios. The 1/8" stereo input and output let you easily integrate an MP3 player for practice or recording. Pair it with the companion SVT-210AV cab for a fully gigable, but super micro rig. Great sound, unmatched portability...small wonder, it's an Ampeg.
The Ampeg SVT Legacy

The SVT has become the bass amp that all rock bassists dream of, whether they're famous or completely unknown. Former Bass Player editor Scott Malandrone put the SVT in perspective this way: "The SVT has done for the sound of electric bass what the Marshall Super Lead had done for the electric guitar--it would give the instrument an identity." We couldn't say it better ourselves.

Ampeg Amps: Built to Work HardAmpeg, (a division of Loud Technologies) is recognized world-wide as the premier name in bass and guitar amplification since the 1960's, when the SVT (Super Valve Tone) bass amplifier took the rock world by storm with its 300 watts, 8 x10" speaker cabinet and a tone that would go on to set the standard for rock and roll bass. Today, Ampeg continues on as the leader in professional bass gear and a cherished manufacturer of classic guitar amplifier designs with a continuing tradition of advancing bass tone through quality & innovation.

The new Spalted Mango Series ukuleles illustrate Lanikai's spirit of experimentation by bringing exiting new developments to the ukulele world. SM ukuleles offer exquisite beauty and a very mellow tone, thanks to their solid spalted mango construction. Spalted mango has a unique tonal characteristic that has the midrange of mahogany but the roundness of spruce. The difficulties in crafting an instrument with spalted woods are greatly outweighed by the resulting tone and striking appearance. The flame mahogany neck adds to the stability and comfort of this exquisite instrument. Also included on this model is a passive under saddle pickup that truly captures the unique tone of this instrument. Rounded off with the gold vintage style tuners this ukulele is a classic in the making.If you have never played ukulele before get ready for a world of fun. The ukulele is an addicting instrument that can and will be taken everywhere. The standard tuning on a Soprano, Concert, and Tenor ukulele is GCEA, and on a Baritone DGBE. If you can play one ukulele you can play them all! Pick up a Lanikai today and see why people are saying Lanikai Makes Me Happy! For more information about this model or Lanikai

Shure PG14/PG30 Wireless Headset System, H7 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great range. Light weight. Headset and bodypack transmitter are very comfortable. The bodypack clips to your clothing, therefore I did not need a neoprene belt. The wind sock tends to slip off the mic, but that is not a big deal.

Mackie CFX 16-mkII 16-Ch. Compact SR Mixer w/Effects Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm returning this mixer for the 1604 VLZ3. The CFX 16-mkII is pretty poorly designed. What's with the idea to run the signal through the Sub Mix to get to the main outputs? I don't know what they were thinking. No mono output either. I don't think it has the quality sound of the old 1604's either.

Modulus Quantum 5 Quilt 5-String Bass, Clear Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned a quantum 5 bass for 8 years now. The best bass i have played. No dead spots. Never goes out of tune. Highly recommended.

An exquisite bass that combines advanced technology with the finest craftsmanship. Stunningly quilted maple tops its premium alder body. Bartolini pickups with NTMB active EQ serve up the ultimate in tonal range and control. Its neck is a hi-tech marvel, an ultra-rigid D-shaped shell made from dozens of hand-formed layers of aerospace-grade, epoxy-impregnated carbon fibers and fitted with a fast, ultra-smooth phenolic fretboard. The neck's miraculous strength-to-weight ratio and extreme resonance produce a remarkably unclouded, even tone. It also transmits sound faster than wood, so articulation and attack dynamics are dramatically enhanced.

Lanikai SM-C Custom Series Spalted Mango Concert Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this up a few months back and I have to say it just gets better with age. I was looking at the Ibanez spalted mango uke and it looked great, it was also much cheaper, but it sounded like a tin can with strings. I think that is because theirs is a laminate. The Lanikai is solid woods all the way around. At first it sounded a little muted, but I kept playing it and the top loosened up and now sounds great. Very mellow not like any of my other ukes. After I bought this one I saw that there is a Spalted Mango Lanikai with electronics and a killer looking headstock. That one is the SM-CE its very cool but I'll probably end up putting a MiSi in this one.
Great uke, oh... by the way dont go by the picture, each one is completely different mine showed up and it had the most killer looking top on it.
