Squier is totally psyched to introduce a brand- spankin’-new bass so utterly blazing that you should probably wear sunglasses when looking directly at it: the Vintage Modified Precision Bass TB guitar. It pumps out oceans of ’70s-era Telecaster Bass cool and seismic low end thanks to that big ol’ Fender®-designed humbucking pickup right there at the neck.

Gold Tone OT-800 Banjo (Five String, Vintage Mahogany)

Gold Tone OT-800 Banjo (Five String, Vintage Mahogany) Review



The Old Tone 800 (0T-800) is an accurate reproduction of the most sought after banjo design in the classic Old Time sound, the Vega Tubaphone.  The Gold Tone 0T-800 incorporates a fitted metal bracket band to an 11” maple rim in which the shoe lugs bolt directly to the bracket band instead of the wood rim allowing for a more solid tone and increased sustain. The 32-hole brass Tubaphone-style tone ring allows the sound to ring loud and clear with maximum sustain. Improvements to the original classic design include dual coordinator rods (instead of a dowel stick) for a solid neck fit and easy adjustment capabilities. Other features include a maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard with frailing scoop, a classic engraved fingerboard inlay design, a Fairbanks-style headstock, 11” Renaissance banjo head, and a No Knot tailpiece. With final assembly and a complete setup at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida, this model delivers exactly what the contemporary openback banjo player is looking for! The 0T-800 includes a deluxe arch case.

DiMarzio Tone Zone Humbucker Pickup (Black)

DiMarzio Tone Zone Humbucker Pickup (Black) Review



DiMarzio Tone Zone Humbucker Pickup (Black) Feature

  • Conductors: 4Active/Passive: Passive DC Resistance: 17.31 Instrument: Electric Guitar
  • Magnet: Alnico V Number: 375 Output: High Position: Bridge Type: Humbucker
The DiMarzio Tone Zone Humbucker Pickup has the most dramatic tone curve of the Modern Classic Humbuckers. The vowel-like open wah-wah feel of the PAF Pro and FRED is combined with tremendous mid-range and bass for a sound that really kicks hard. Because the lows, mids, and highs are all boosted, using a Tone Zone feels like cranking up an extra set of tone controls. It adds further dimension to the sound of your amp - that elusive edge that can make a good-sounding rig into a great-sounding one. Notes seem to get bigger after they're picked, and burn hard as they sustain. The Tone Zone has the right stuff to wake up your amp. Its ballsy, aggressive tone has plenty of drive in all the right frequencies, abundant gain to push preamps and power amps, and sensitivity to pick attack that gets the most out of any style from Metal to Blues. Recommended For: Bridge position in all solidbody guitars Tech Talk: The DiMarzio Tone Zone Humbucker Pickup is hot enough to qualify as a high-output pickup, but it has a wider dynamic range - hard picking will produce a lot of power, and softer picking will be much cleaner and quieter. Many models can be used in the neck position, from the Air Classic to the Air Zone; the PAF Pro and the Fred are also good choices. Higher-output single-coil replacements like the Cruiser and Fast Track 1 are also recommended.
