Hello, it's Bax-shop. We were wondering if, after all these years, Ricatech and Adele would like to meet... And we profusely apologise for starting out with such a bad joke. Adele's new album has broken countless records, and is a resounding success, both commercially and critically. The only thing that might make it better than it already was, is to add the charm that only vinyl could bring. Of course, that does mean you'll need a record player, too!

One of the advantages of the innovative Fishman Fluence technology, is the ability to capture more than one sound in one single pickup. For their Fluence Signature Series, Fishman worked together with three leading artists. Their musical imagination has been made a reality in these three innovative and versatile sets of pickups.

The innovative Snark tuners have already become a mainstay in the guitar industry. While Snark picks aren't quite there yet, we're sure that's just a matter of time. They're clearly going off to a great start, releasing two types of guitar picks right off the bat: the Sigmund Freud's Celluloids and Teddy's Neo Tortoise picks. There's something for everyone, as both types come in four different sizes.

Have you always wanted an EVH 5150 amp, but never had the budget or the space for it? Then there's something new that might interest you!

EarthQuaker Devices released two new stomp boxes: the Interstellar Orbiter and the Levitation reverb. They're a dual resonance filter and a highly versatile vintage reverb that are anything but ordinary.

VOX's new Starstream Type 1 totally redefines the electric guitar as we know it. Thanks to innovative styling and advanced modelling technology, the VSS-1 models offer all kinds of exciting new possibilities!

It's a beautiful day! Fender and The Edge have collaborated to bring us this high-quality all-round Stratocaster. We know we're excited! Are U2?

Ultra high gain distortion pedals are usually not very versatile. You also wouldn't normally describe them as reactive or musical, either. The Xvive DynaRock, however, is the exception to the rule. As if you're playing a tube amp at max volume, the DynaRock reacts to the volume knob on your guitar in subtlety and performance.

While everyone was focussing on the Akai MPC Touch during NAMM 2016, a Music Production Controller was also quietly released in the background. Known in some circles as the Black MK2, this MIDI controller features a few nice points of improvement on the MPC Studio. A 2.0 version of the MPC software was also released at the same time and comes included with the controller.

Brightly-coloured paisley prints, jacquard fabric and metallic threads - a description of Fender's new guitar strap collection reads like an actual fashion spread. Don't worry, though, these are still highly durable and practical guitar straps, and this spring they'll be available with great new, vintage-appropriate designs! Of course, Fender hasn't forgotten about more modern-oriented guitarists, with Signature straps by The Edge and Eric Johnson.
