Speed-linking for the four-string set… I tend to be fairly six-string-centric around here, but yesterday I came across so many interesting bass guitar links I thought I’d better lay ‘em down for you. Marshall this week announced a new line of bass amplifiers, titled the MB Series. The amps appear to run the full gamut, from the [...]

Hehe… OK, I’ve come across a number of interesting looking travel guitars over the years, but this one is probably the coolest. Yep, it’s a wee miniature version of Queen guitarist Brian May’s legendary Red Special, built by Brian May Guitars, and aptly titled the MiniMay. Unfortunately, there isn’t a whole lot in the way of specs [...]

While we’re on the subject of funky guitars… I’m not sure about the actual release date here, but DiPinto, maker of two of my all-time favorite funky guitars––the wonderful Belvedere Deluxe and insanely surfy Galaxie 4––has apparently added a less-funky new line of instruments to their roster: the Metro Series. Breaking away from the esoteric guitar [...]
