Click on the Fender picture

First introduced in 1960 as the
"Deluxe Model," the Fender Jazz Bass has stood the test of time to become one of
the most played instruments in modern musical history. Many Fender "Firsts" such
as the offset waist body, ultra slim fast-action neck and full-range bi-pole
pickups are standard features on the Standard Jazz Bass.
Ibanez first introduced the Soundgear bass in 1987. That same
bass continues to be one of the world's most played basses. Why? Because it is
not the same bass. Certainly it's still the sleekest and sexiest. And with all
SR models featuring active electronics, it's still the most tonally versatile.
It still has the fastest neck. But they've continued to improve and update the
Soundgear line.
When the Soundgear first came out, a highly compressed
sound was popular. Now players demand a heavier sound with a more human touch.
To accommodate these changes, they changed the Soundgear. And now the range of
Soundgears is staggering . everything from the elite instruments you can see in
the Prestige section to the new amazingly low priced GSR models.
Click Here to get an awesome combination of
power and sound AND the best value in bass combos. This products takes
Hartke's best selling head, the 3500, and mates it to the incredible sounding
Hartke VX410 cabinet. The Hartke VX3500 is NOT just a combo. It's a
no-compromise way to buy the absolute best in bass equipment in one great
sounding package
Offering players professional features at
an affordable price is the cornerstone of the Ibanez philosophy. One of the best
examples is their new PF50SNT, the most affordable name brand acoustic with a
solid top you can buy. But it's not the only example. When you look at the
impressive combination of features of any of the PF traditional acoustics from
Ibanez, you'll be amazed. But when you look at the low prices, you'll be
astonished.
Another entry into Fender's Grand Concert Series of
guitars, the GC-12 features a select Spruce top with Nato back and sides to
create a great playing, smaller body guitar. Perfect for playing at home
or taking just about anywhere, the GC-12 makes a great choice for those who
prefer a smaller acoustic.
If you can handle everything about the Gibson
except the price, check this out. Engineers designed this modern classic with
the arched top and fast neck of the best Les Pauls. It has an arched, figured
curly Maple, carved top in faded sunburst finishes for that great LP look. And
like all Les Pauls, features a solid glued neck joint for great sustain and
stability. These guitars are built to 100% Gibson specifications. Since 1910
Epiphone has been building quality instruments and this Les Paul Standard will
only enhance their great reputation. These transparent finishes are
exceptionally beautiful!
The Les Paul guitar is synonymous with Rock and
Roll. No other guitar gives you the power, the sustain and the sound of a Les
Paul. If it's got Les Paul's signature on the headstock, it's the real thing...
Accept no substitutes! Authorized by Gibson USA!
With his scorching riffs and remarkable stage
presence, Zakk Wylde has earned a reputation as one of heavy metal's premier
lead guitarists. The Custom Shop teamed up with Zakk to create a guitar
featuring Zakk's trademark black and antique white bullseye graphics, powerful
EMG humbucking pickups, and raw, unfinished necks.
The AVT150 combo boasts more channels and
features than any other Valvestate amplifier before. Its 4 channels are:
Acoustic Simulator, Clean, Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2. As you may expect, the
Clean, Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2 channels are identical in terms of voicing
and features to those found on the AVT100. The AVT150's 4th channel is the
Acoustic Simulator Channel and, as its name suggests, it transforms the sound of
a standard electric guitar into that of an acoustic. The fact that all 4
channels are footswitchable means that 1 guitarist now has the flexibility to
use professional quality acoustic and electric sounds in the same song, without
having to change guitars or amps!
As with the AVT100
onboard DFX are present, but on the AVT150 there are 2 separate, 16 program DFX
Sections - 1 for the Acoustic/Clean channels and the other for Overdrive 1 and
Overdrive 2. To add even further to the amp's flexibility, both DFX Sections are
footswitchable on/off.
The purpose-built AVT112 extension speaker cabinet
will increase the spread of sound and the bass response of the AVT150 even
further. Its 100-watt, 8 Ohm, 12 in. speaker perfectly complements the combo.
Introducing the new X50 music synthesizer;
packed with Korg's distinctive and world-renown sounds, designed for easy and
intuitive operation, and with an ultra-light and compact design that's ideal for
the active musician.
Features
512 professional-quality sound programs produced
by the HI synthesis system used on the world-famous Triton series.
384 combinations, each allowing up to eight programs to be freely combined to
create complex sounds.
Multi Mode allows the X50 to be played from your external sequencer as a 16-part
multi-timbral sound module.
Powerful effect section with four processors (one insert effect, two master
effects, one master EQ).
Four-channel audio output (two main channels, two individual channels), a first
in its class.
Dual polyphonic arpeggiator for even more musical enjoyment.
USB connector allows single-cable MIDI connection with your computer.
Stand-alone and innovative plug-in sound editing software is included, allowing
you to tweak and program the X-50, even within your DAW software.
Korg's brilliant sounds in a handy size
The Korg X50 music synthesizer features the HI (Hyper Integrated) sound engine
that's used on the world-famous Triton series. It gives you pro-quality sounds
in an ultra-compact body. This keyboard synthesizer delivers unbeatable
convenience and enjoyment for live performance or song production.
A rich array of sounds and powerful effects
The 64 MB PCM memory contains a wide range of sounds, including piano, strings,
guitar, and synth sounds. With 512 sound Programs, as well as 384 “Combinations”
that let you use up to eight Programs together, you can start enjoying a diverse
selection of great sounds right away. The effect section lets you simultaneously
use four effects (one insert effect, two master effects, and one EQ), and
provides a full selection of effect types such as reverb, chorus, and delay.
Best of all, the X50 is compatible with Korg’s TR line of music workstations so
you can share sounds and songs with Korg users around the world.
Dual arpeggiator makes performance even more fun
An arpeggiator lets you play a variety of phrases using just one finger, and the
X50 provides two polyphonic arpeggiators! For example, in Combination mode you
can use the two arpeggiators to play drums and bass while you play chords and
melody, giving you amazing power for live performances. In addition to five
basic preset arpeggio patterns, the X50 also provides an additional 251 patterns
containing various phrases. Of course you can also create your own original
patterns and store them in internal memory.
Easy operation for immediate use
Finding the right sound quickly when you have so many to choose from can be a
problem on some systems, but never Korg’s! The X50 organizes its vast array of
sounds into sixteen categories, and provides a Category Select function that
makes it quick and easy to choose the sound you need from the category you
specify. There's also an Audition Riff function that provides one-touch audition
of each sound. Four knobs can be used to quickly adjust sounds, effects and arp
settings, and the ClickPoint cursor makes the X50 a pleasure to use and play.
Light and compact design for easy portability
The X50 packs professional-quality sounds and a wide range of functions into an
amazingly light and compact body. Even with a 61-note keyboard that gives you
plenty of room to perform, the X50 boasts an ultra-light weight of only 4.5 kg
--- about the same as an electric guitar. The compact design ensures that it can
fit into the smallest home studio workspace, and thanks to its cool side handles
the X50 is easy to take along wherever you go.

The M Birch, new from Mapex, gives you the
sound you’ve been waiting for. The shells are made from multiple birch plies
with an exterior maple veneer, giving you great tone — and a great look. The
shells deliver incredible attack at the high end, a narrower mid-range and
significant “punch” at the bottom end. The exterior maple ply is finished with
eight coats of hand applied, transparent lacquer for a shell that looks as good
as it sounds.
The Best Drum Shells Start with the Best Wood
Mapex selects only the finest woods for its shells. With
individual plies less than 1 mm thick, the result is overall stronger and
thinner shell. The seams are staggered around the shell, providing additional
strength and acoustic distribution. Each drum is finished off with a
precision-ground 45° bearing edge, counter-cut at 0.5mm for optimum tone.
Hand Rubbed with Tender-Loving Care
Mapex drums are given eight coats of hand-applied lacquer, each
of which are hand rubbed, to give the finish a deep, high-gloss shine. Mapex
lacquer finishes are tough and easy to maintain and are crystal clear, allowing
the beauty of the premium veneer to show through.
Physics Meets Aesthetics
The Mapex Isolated Tom System protects the shell’s integrity and
allows toms to vibrate freely, ensuring maximum projection and resonance. The
Mapex Isolated Tom System is discrete and visually attractive and adds very
little weight to the drum.
The Worst Thing to Do to a Drum is to Drill a Hole in It
Fewer holes means truer tone and resonance. That’s why all Mapex
drums use single point contact lugs. Only one hole is drilled into the shell for
each lug, protecting the shells’ tonal properties. The lugs are low in mass as
well, meaning less direct contact with shell, also protecting the overall
integrity of the drum.
Playable Quality Right Out of the Box
Mapex drums are exclusively equipped with Remo drum heads. Like
Mapex, Remo is a worldwide symbol of quality manufacturing and premium
performance.
How do you top the best selling,
most widely played drumset in the world for the last ten years running? Easy.
Refine the look to full hi-end status and add a host of incredible features.
Pearl has introduced the new Export Series. Features like Pearl's I.S.S. Tom
Mounts, sturdy 800W Hardware, quality ProTone Heads, matching wood Snare Drum,
the new P-120P pedal offers styling cues from their award winning Eliminator
line of high performance pedals, and the new H-820W Hi-Hat brings speed and
response never before available at this price. Features are great, but sound is
where Export really shines. Both Export and Export Select drum sets share a
shell produced by the finest shell forming system in the world, Pearl's
exclusive Heat Compression Shell Molding System or HC/sms for short. Its this
exclusive system that gives Export the tone, warmth, volume and clarity that has
made this series the best selling drumset in the world, year after year after
year. Here is THE percussion instrument
you've been waiting for.
Look at the Special Edition as an
upgraded version of the DTXPRESS III. The Special Edition contains all the
features of the DTXPRESS III, with the addition of an ergonomic curved rack; 3

pad.

include more than 1,000 sounds, 128 GM voices, 80 drum kits, 127 songs, an
integrated 2-track sequencer, 3-zone snare pad, the Groove Check practice
feature and easy-view backlit display.
The new rack system is designed to
fold up into a compact unit with your pads and trigger module still attached.
Light in weight, the rack system is easy to move so when it's not in use, simply
fold it up and place it against the room wall.
The MPC2000XL MPC continues Akai
Professional's tradition of providing rock solid sequencing and drum programming

desktop unit.

Memory Card storge, 4 bank keys to effectively provide 64 pads, Track Mute key,
hinged LCD, multi-program playback, device naming, MIDI soft thru, multi-track
recording, time stretch, resampling, simultaneous playback of a second sequence

we mean!

or performing live; whether you're programming intricate drum parts or
triggering loops, you'll love the self-contained convenience and ease of use the
MPC2000XL gives you and the MPC2000XL's friendly and intuitive user interface

Get your drum machine on in Mac OS X. iDrum turns any
Macintosh computer running Mac OS 10.2 or later into a slamming beatbox ready to
lay down your grooves, your way. From ambient downtempo to bangin' hip hop to
frenetic drum and bass, iDrum has got your back (beat).
Drum machine neophytes will get to experience the same magical
'instant-gratification' fun that hooked an entire generation of musicians on the
hardware drum machines of yesteryear. Pros will find that there's simply no
faster, easier way to access and manage large unwieldly drum sample libraries,
get a phat beat going, and get it exported into the format you need. (And for
less money than a replacement pad for your MPC 3000).
Seamless integration with ProTools, GarageBand and Logic. iDrum runs as both a
standalone native OS X application and as a plug-in for Digidesign's ProTools,
Apple's GarageBand and Logic, and Ableton's Live 4 applications. This means you
can use iDrum to create beats from right within your favorite music software
environment, perfectly synced with your arrangement and always right where you
left it when you return to your project after your next world tour.
Hundreds of Samples and Kits, infinite possibilites -- iDrum comes with hundreds
of dope drum samples arranged in nearly two hundred iDrum files, each with
several preset patterns programmed by some of the best beatmeisters working
today. But these beats are just the beginning -- since you can mix and match
parts and samples between kits, and even load your own AIFF and WAV drum
samples, the possibilities for beat creation are virtually endless.
Features
Play that Beat -- don't feel like pushing buttons with your mouse? Prefer to
bang on things instead? iDrum has you covered. Use record mode to tap out beats
on an attached MIDI keyboard, or even using your Mac's computer keyboard!
Samples Reloaded -- if you ever run through all the drum sounds that come with
iDrum (and it will take you a while, believe us), you can drag any AIFF or WAV
file up to 2MB in size into iDrum's channel window.
Pattern-alooza -- store up to 99 patterns in a single iDrum file, along with all
of the drum sounds you used to make your beat.
Parts -- iDrum comes with dozens of part presets -- a unique feature that makes
it incredibly easy to create amazingly cool beats by simply mixing and matching
parts and samples -- even if you've never programmed a beat before. You can even
add your own parts to iDrum's part preset library so you never, ever, ever have
to program that syncopated disco hat figure again. (You know the one we mean).

The first timekeeper designed specifically for
the band's timekeeper, Tama's Rhythm Watch, had everything a drummer needed to
make sure the time was right.live and in the studio. The original Rhythm Watch
featured enough volume to play with real drums, a large, easy-to-read display, a
dial for quick tempo adjustments, separate volumes for quarter notes, eighths
and triplets.the list went on and on. So who could ask for more? Well, lots of
drummers could and did. So Tama listened to what they wanted and made some
changes. The new RW105 now features a backlit display, 30 different memory
settings, and up to nine different beat divisions. The only thing Tama didn't
change was the simplicity.
