Ernie Ball has announced the Fall 2022 lineup of the limited edition Ball Family Reserve collection, which is set to include two basses, both of which are takes on the StingRay.

In 2006, luthier Jean-Philippe Ferreira retired from building basses, and the JPBasses brand was licensed to Pete Skjold in 2011. Ferreira just announced a new brand called KISSBASS, which he says has a different approach to bass building.

Time is flying by, and at the start of each month, we look back. Here is your monthly roundup of the top 10 bass gear stories based on reader views.

The Charvel Custom Shop just unveiled the most recent additions to their 2022 lineup with three guitars and one bass: the Frank Bello Signature So Cal Bass. Built by Charvel’s principal master builder Pasquale Campolattano, the model is built to order and builds upon the Anthrax bassist’s existing PJ IV model.

This week, we’re checking out the Nicolo, a new fretless model from Ulrich Bass Design with a lot of character. The bass is described as having a unique tone thanks to a “naturally resonating acoustic approach.”

Nu-X has added a new pedal tuner to their product lineup. The Flow Tune features a large, colored LCD screen that takes up most of its compact size.

Nu-X has introduced an enhanced version of their Mighty Plug with the Mighty Plug Pro. The headphone amp features effects, amp modeling, and Impulse Response (IR) cabinet models for bass and guitar.

This week we’re checking out a TULIP model from Wood Guerilla Basses. Dubbed “HoneyBlackCaramel,” the bass is actually a babyTULIP, which takes the single-cut bass and adds a headless tuning system.

Holeyboard Pedalboards has introduced their smallest design yet with the Holeyboard Mini. Designed to be light and compact, the board is built from 5052 series aircraft aluminum with the company’s signature holey design.

Fender’s Rumble Series of bass combo amps has expanded with its largest offering yet: the Rumble 800. Loaded with two 10-inch Eminence neodymium speakers and a compression horn, the unit is rated at 800 watts while weighing in at 29 pounds.

Darkglass Electronics has unveiled the latest in their pedal lineup with the Microtubes Infinity, which brings all of their Microtubes circuits – the B3K, Vintage, and X – into one unit.

Inspiration can strike from anywhere if you’re open to it. That’s just what happened to Lenny Robert of Daddy Mojo Electrics, and it led to the creation of this cool version of his BeeKay bass model.
