Another great week of low end goodness is in the books. This week, we covered news from the NAMM Show, enjoyed Tony Senatore's beastly 12-string bass and a gorgeous medley of two George Harrison songs, shared Paul Thompson's "Take Your Walking Bass Lines to the Next Level" lesson, and more.

The NAMM Show was held in the spring this year, and Ernie Ball Music Man was ready for it with new colors for the StingRay Special. The company revealed four new finishes: Sea Breeze, Laguna Green, Pueblo Pink, and Butter Cream.

Maarten Plukker sent us this video he created to showcase Nathan East’s isolated bass on Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.”

Rancid has announced a new album is coming this year, marking their first new music since 2017’s “Trouble Maker”. “Tomorrow Never Comes” is the group’s tenth album, and Matt Freeman delivers his signature ripping bass lines.

EarthQuaker Devices has announced the Aurelius, a three-mode chorus that has six programmable presets and an expression control.

Stanley Clarke is the Original Bass Man. He has a new iteration of his live band – Stanley Clarke N 4EVA – and man, they definitely bring the groove on “Oh Oh.”

The Wood Brothers have returned with “Heart Is The Hero,” and just like every one of their other albums, it’s packed with the amazing bass lines of Chris Wood.hers Release "Heart Is The Hero"

The NAMM Show was earlier this year than last as they work their way back to January. The Show was lighter than past ones, but we still have you covered. Here’s a roundup of what we’ve learned so far from the show.

Theo Katzman dropped another music video from his new album, “Be The Wheel.” Here’s Theo and a great lineup of musicians (including Joe Dart) performing “5 Watt Rock.”

After taking it everywhere, from United Arab Emirates to Singapore, Sting has announced his “My Songs World Tour” will be hitting North America this September and October.

Reverend Guitars unveiled a new model at NAMM this year with a signature model for Bad Cop/Bad Cop bassist Linh Le. Dubbed the “Lil Lihnbacker,” the new instrument is based on the company’s existing Dub King with some tweaks.

The first videos we ever shared by Tony Senatore were from his incredible DVD, “A 12 String Bass X-Ploration.” Now he’s returned to the beastly instrument to share a gorgeous medley of two George Harrison songs.
