Simply one of the greatest basses of all time. It's a sturdy, high-quality instrument that will probably never let you down. These American-made Jazz Basses can follow you around the world without falling apart on you. In fact, they seem to only sound better with age. It's growly, yet warm.

My parents bought me one of these when I started playing bass in 2007, and I must say, what a fantastic beginner bass. I gave it 3 stars because it is definitely "beginner" quality. The neck is unrefined and the stock pick-ups are as "stock" as you can get. However, the sound is warm, which is nice coming from such an inexpensive purchase. The warmth from this bass inspired me to keep playing, as it was very pleasing to the ear. Not bad at all for a beginner bass you probably never heard of.

This is my principal rehearsal amp. It gets loud, has a useful overdrive function, and offers all the classic Rumble tone options. Quite versatile as well.

This is a miracle. I record DI from home, and the Bass Driver DI provides warmth, depth, punch, and pretty much whatever I need. Not to mention the fact that studio engineers love the sight of it.

I have yet to try this for guitar, but I find the bass input excellent. I recently went on a hunt for an envelope filter and this one seemed to provide the most distinct, fun, and bottom-preserving tone of all the brands I tried.

This is a fun, yet not very versatile octave pedal. I didn't realize how much I would really crave a high octave on a bass octave pedal. This pedal only offers really a low octave. That being said, the low octave sound is great. Very beefy, clear, and manipulable.

If you are operating an at-home studio, look no further. This is the standard for user-friendly audio interfaces.

Long story short, I love it. This is the first DAW I ever spent money on. I felt it was time for me to use a real DAW (instead of shuffling trial versions of other DAWs). As with any DAW, you want something that offers a good workflow, community, and sound library. I was hesitant to spend money on this DAW, which is widely regarded as an "up-and-comer", but I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. The workflow is fantastic and the community is supportive. I am a novice producer (and that's being generous) but the functionality of this DAW has kept me motivated and invested in the process. I highly recommend this Presonus Studio One. It's not an up-and-comer. It's the real deal.

These earplugs are great and they serve their purpose. I prefer these to those disposable cushion-type of earplugs. However, ever since I got a pair of Galaxy Buds, I sort of just use those when I rehearse with my band since I always have them on me. These have found their way to the bottom of my gig-back. Don't get me wrong, they work just fine.
