Trading Licks: Charlie Christian & T-Bone Walker by Joseph Weidlich Trading Licks: Charlie Christian and T-Bone Walker explores the musical commonality of the founders of electric jazz guitar and electric blues guitar respectively. While both were heavily influenced musically by the Kansas Territory blues bands, T-Bone Walker ended up working professionally in the late 1930s in the looser rhythm-and-blues genre that was developing at that time in Los Angeles, while Charlie Christian began working in the number one dance band in the nation, the Benny Goodman Orchestra. This book explores how commonly used jazz licks were “reinterpreted” in an R&B context that are still just as exciting to listen to and to play today as they were in the 1940s, when they were first heard on Central Avenue in L.A. This book includes an audio CD with 83 tracks of examples from the tablature! 00143630 Book/CD Pack ��$24.99 (EAN 978-1-57424-314-7) (UPC 8-88680-05936-1)

The Gretsch Electric Guitar Book 60 Years of White Falcons, 6120s, Jets, Gents, and More by Tony Bacon Backbeat Books Gretsch electric guitars have a style all their own. The Beatles, Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy, and Brian Setzer all made their mark with Gretsch, and new bands continually discover and fall in love with the Falcons, Gents, 6120s, Jets, and the rest. The Gretsch Electric Guitar Book comes right up to the present, including Gretsch’s alliance to the powerful Fender company, a move that has done wonders for the reliability and playability of the modern Gretsch axe. Every great model is here, but the book also tells the story of the lesser-known guitars and the projects that almost never happened. There are archival and fresh interviews with Gretsch personnel over the years and with many leading Gretsch players, including Chet Atkins, Billy Duffy, Duane Eddy, and Brian Setzer. In the tradition of Tony Bacon’s best-selling series of guitar books, his updated and revised story of Gretsch is three great volumes in one: a compendium of luscious pictures of the coolest guitars; a gripping story from early exploits to the most recent developments; and a detailed collector’s guide to every production electric Gretsch model ever made. 160 pages, 8-1/2" x 11" 00120793 �� $29.99

Auro X12D/X15D 1000W 2-Way Active Loudspeaker Samson Audio Samson’s Auro X Series 2-Way Active Loudspeakers matches ultra-efficient power with extensive Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and rugged portability to create a new value standard in loudspeaker performance. Encompassing two compact designs (X12D and X15D), the Auro X Series provides versatile speaker solutions for musicians, DJs and live sound professionals. Both the Auro X12D and X15D feature a lightweight 1,000-watt Class D amplifier and Samson’s proprietary R.A.M.P. (Reactive Alignment, Maximum Protection) DSP technology. The DSP provides reactive alignment filters to enhance transducer performance. It also offers maximum protection to the speakers’ components via thermal and over current sensors. Thanks to their respective 12" and 15” extended low frequency drivers and accompanying 1.34" compression drivers, the Auro X12D and X15D generate a well balanced and incredibly articulate audio experience. Both models offer two input channels, along with 3-position EQ and high pass filter presets to optimize the speakers’ performance for different setups and applications. For additional convenience, these speakers each offer two ergonomic carry handles. Lastly, their solid polypropylene construction, impact resistant design and full metal grills ensure roadworthy durability.

Controllers PowerMate Bluetooth® LE Wireless Programmable Controller Griffin Technology Wirelessly control everything, from volume to keyboard shortcuts. PowerMate Bluetooth is the wireless programmable knob that replaces extra keystrokes with a simple twist or a click. It spins like a knob. It clicks like a mouse. And it’s programmable, to replace repetitive keyboard commands. It looks like a great big, shiny, glowing volume knob. And, sure, you can use it for that, right out of the box. But it’s capable of so much more. PowerMate is configurable, so it can control practically any Mac application out there. It comes preset for volume and track control, but through the included PowerMate software you can add your own actions for the software you use every day. 00131402 ��MSRP/MAP $69.99

Hamilton Stands

KB200M Universal Boom Clamp StagePRO Series

Ultra-Lock Hanging Guitar Stand StagePRO Series, KB3800G Model

00144049 �� $22.99

The StagePRO Series KB3800G Ultra-Lock Guitar Stand is the first auto-locking guitar stand with a width-adjustable neck cradle. This feature allows the user to adjust the support arms to fit their particular fret board and headstock. The Ultra-Lock is a neck-suspending stand, which was originally invented by Hamilton over 30 years ago and has been copied by many. 00140595 �� $59.99

Super Guitar Stand StagePRO Series, KB3500G Model The StagePRO KB3500G Super Guitar Stand has three legs and a hinged back support which allows it to fold to a small size for transport and storage, easily fitting into most any gig bag. The back support cushion is a larger spherical shape and made from a soft rubber. This material is safe for all types of finishes and has an attractive look. The feet are made from the same thermoplastic rubber as the back cushion and are also spherically shaped. All metal parts of the stand are finished with a durable black powder coating. 00140596 �� $26.99

X Keyboard and DJ Coffin Stand System X Series, KB7700K Model The System X KB7700K Keyboard Stand offers the portability and simplicity of the time-tested ‘X’ braced keyboard stand without the limited usefulness inherent in ‘X’ stands at the limits of their height ranges. Traditional ‘X’ braced stands get too wide to accept smaller keyboards at low (seated) position settings and too narrow and unstable at the taller (standing) position. The System X Keyboard Stand maintains the same stable arm and leg width under the keyboard or DJ Coffin throughout its entire height range. 00144050 ��$169.99
