Vox CT01DS Cooltron Bulldog Distortion
Vox CT01DS Cooltron Bulldog Distortion Pedal
With dual channels each with its own gain and volume controls and growling tube tone, the Vox Bulldog Distortion pedal adds extra bite to your fret-burning maneuvers. Gain 1 dishes out vintage distortion while Gain 2 packs a more modern, aggressive sound with slightly scooped mids. Both are adjustable from subtle to completely over the top. A Bass control adds extra low end thump at extreme settings and a warm, round mellowness at lower settings. And with the Gain 2 voice control you can independently tailor the second channel's hell-raising tone. A Treble control will take your sound from a biting attack at one extreme to smooth and liquid at the other. The Bulldog also is equipped with true bypass.
Vox CT02OD Cooltron Big Ben Overdrive
Vox CT02OD Cooltron Big Ben Overdrive Pedal
Preserve your amp's warm, silky tone while pushing your sound into overdrive! The tube-powered Big Ben Overdrive pedal responds to your playing dynamics and cranks out that extra firepower when you really dig in and want to cut through. The gain knob varies the overall gain of the pedal from bluesy and mellow to fat and saturated, while the Tone knob provides sound shaping. As with all Cooltron pedals, the Big Ben's true bypass allows you to let your signal flow through untouched.
Vox CT03BT Cooltron Brit Boost Pedal
Vox CT03BT Cooltron Brit Boost Pedal
It's both a treble boost and a full-range boost. The treble boost pumps treble and upper mid frequencies like a vintage Treble Boost pedal. In full-range mode it enhances all frequencies and is a great way to kick a slightly overdriven amp into heavy drive. A gain knob varies the overall gain from mellow to full rip and a tone knob lets you tweak the EQ. Features a true bypass for unaltered tone when not activated.

Modulus 25th Anniversary Quantum 5 5-String
It's fitting that Modulus celebrate their 25th anniversary with the bass that put them on the map.

Humidity, falls, dings, sweat, blood, and beers have all met their match.Tonally you get Earth-shaking low end, expressive mids, and sweet highs, all with massive sustain that's completely controllable.

Fender '59 Precision Bass Relic Vintage Blonde Rosewood
Fender '59 Precision Bass Relic Vintage Blonde Rosewood Fretboard
Meticulously built to replicate the original '59 P-Bass in every detail. 1959 was a transitional year for the P Bass. Rosewood fretboards replaced the one-piece maple neck for the first time, and the neck features the precise C-shaped profile from that year. This model also has the ash body that was used for the vintage blonde finish models of that year. One especially showy feature in '59 was the gold anodized pickguard and it is used on this replica. As a Time Machine Relic, it has been specially treated to show the cosmetic effects of wear and aging that would naturally be found on a well-used '59 bass. Comes with a tweed hardshell case, vintage strap, and polishing cloth.
Fender Jaco Pastorius Relic Jazz Bass
Fender Jaco Pastorius Relic Jazz Bass 3-Tone Sunburst
Jaco lived hard and played hard, and his bass paid for it. But despite consistent and brutal abuse (he was rumored to drag the thing around with no case), his trusty Jazz Bass still delivered that inimitable Jaco sound. Aside from a perfect new fingerboard, this is a faithful re-creation, right down to the peeling paint and screw holes from a previous pickup. Select alder body, special shaped maple neck, epoxy-coated fretless rosewood fingerboard, and replacement P Bass control knobs. Hardshell Fender case included.
Gibson Custom Shop 12-String CS-336 Figured
Gibson Custom Shop 12-String CS-336 Figured - one of a kind Electric Guitar
This Custom Shop single-edition CS-336 is Gibson's coolest semi-hollow with the inimitable harmonic richness of twelve strings. Of course it fattens up rhythms like nothing else out there, but a normal 1-11/16 neck width and very close pairs make it play just like a 6 string. The super flamey and thin carved solid maple top sports a phenomenal orange/yellow burst while the routed one-piece mahogany back bears a natural finish. A pair of '57 Classic humbuckers smooth out the rough edges for a genuinely enchanting tone. Full top, back, and fretboard binding for a luxurious feel.

Gibson Custom Shop 'Aged' Korina Explorer
Gibson Custom Shop 'Aged' Korina Explorer - one of a kind Electrric Guitar

Gibson Custom Shop Engraved Les Paul Special - one of a kind
As unique as it is arresting, the whole-top anodized black aluminum pickguard on this Gibson Custom Shop Engraved Les Paul Special features an angler's dream tableau hand engraved by Darryl Thornbury. This master engraver has been perfecting his art for over 35 years. Even the pickup and truss-rod covers are engraved. The Gibson luthier who commissioned the piece also happens to make part of his living as a pro fisherman. The luxury doesn't stop with the engraving; an ebony fretboard with pearl trapezoid inlays, Gibson humbuckers, pearl logo on the headstock, and ebony finish throughout create a visually stunning instant collectible.
