STANLEY CLARKE'S NEW SIGNATURE BASS IS LITERALLY A GIANT The Spellcaster features a headstock modeled after a 1964 Strat, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, Alder body, Vintage Sunburst body finish, and potentially the soul of Leo Fender himself somewhere between the neck and middle pickup!

ACACIA GUITARS PRO SERIES PRODUCTION MODELS The pickup choice was the most obvious difference, but the guitars were so close in all other aspects that it was staggering. The Pro series I played was set pretty much exactly how I’d want it, aside from the EMGs – a nice looking and feeling maple fretboard, satin finish neck, low action and a very comfortable feel all around. MIXING AND MATCHING DRUMKITS TUTORIAL IN SUPERIOR DRUMMER Toontrack’s Superior Drummer and EZDrummer lines are some of the best studio production tools available today for making realistic drum sounds without a drummer (or for augmenting acoustic tracked drums).
