Bob Taylor personally designed the new Grand Symphony body style on this GS Series Maple/Spruce Top acoustic guitar to produce a really big sound while still being comfortable to play seated. This version features a solid Sitka spruce top for pronounced highs and big volume perfect to cut through a loud stage mix. The big-leaf maple sides and back impart additional clarity and punch plus sweet looks. A bound ebony fretboard and precision body binding combine with gold plated tuners and abalone rosette and position markers to create a sumptuous cosmetic appeal.Bob Taylor personally designed the Grand Symphony body style for a unique sound. A higher, wider waist and a rounder lower bout result in distinctive tone with deep piano-like bass, rich mids, and clear, balanced highs all with plenty of volume.

The compression applied is independently variable and the balance between the high- and low-frequency parts of the signal is controllable. Housed in a durable metal case, it has the famous Ashdown VU input meter and controls for Input, Low Compression, EQ Balance, High Compression, and Output. It can handle passive and active bass signals, plus it has true bypass circuitry. 9V battery or DC adapter power.

The very first boutique-quality head in this price range!
Sublime tonal quality with quiet operation from DC-powered filaments and superb definition from a solid-state rectifier make the Epiphone So Cal 50-watt one of the finest amplifiers we've had the pleasure to play through. A unique EQ switch lets you choose between independent treble and bass vs. treble that rolls off the bass when boosted and vice-versa. Presence control lets you sharpen up the sound while 25W (triode) option lets you drive the power section hard without driving the neighbors nuts. Contour knob presents dramatic tonal options and the tube-driven reverb is silky smooth and natural. Multiple speaker outs for great flexibility onstage. Works great with the So Cal 412SL cab.

A serious competitor in the premium professional amp market, at a fraction of the price!
Designed and engineered in the USA by Gibson, the Blues Custom 30 combo takes the competition down at the knees with pro performance and features at a phenomenally low price. Dual-channel 30W AB operation (pentode), or 15W Class A operation (triode) plus independent or interactive tone controls and specially designed Lady Luck 12" speakers by Eminence are impressive enough on paper, but when you hear the tonal quality and feel the organic interactivity, you won't believe your ears. The tube rectifier provides bluesy sag while tube-driven reverb sounds incredibly natural. 3-band EQ plus added mid control on the hot channel lets you dial in hard-hitting definition. 12AX7 preamp tubes with DC powered filaments operate very quietly.

Dean Edge 1 Quilt Top Trans Red
It is often said the "beauty is skin deep". The Dean Edge Bass is clearly the exception to the rule! While beauty was the inspiration of the Dean Edge, we put every bit of our 20 plus years of design experience into these models. We started with a body styled and contoured for comfort and the chose basswood to make them lighter. The maple necks were profiled to be faster and sleeker than virtually all other. We designed a "uniquely Dean" custom neck joint and heel along with our asymmetrical 4 bolt pattern creating uninterrupted access all the way up the two octave neck.

It's been a problem since the first bass practice amplifiers were introduced: small bass amps just haven't sounded that good. We decided to change that. So, we've designed a new amplifier just for beginning bassists - the Nemesis N8. So, what's so special about our new little powerhouse? To begin with, the designers are the same team that developed our top-line models. And they had the same goals in mind: to make the best bass amp available in its price range.
