Boss GX-10
|
Barry
|
“It’s impressive to see guitar gear get more advanced every day. The BOSS GX-10 is a great example. This Multi-FX processor is powered by a state-of-the-art DSP and features a colour touch-display, an adjustable signal chain, and a host of convincing amp and speaker simulations.”

Epiphone Grabber Bass
|
“The Epiphone Grabber Bass is an affordable reissue of a classic Gibson bass from the 1970s. Able to spit forceful humbucker-induced tone as well as tighter coil-split sounds after you flip the SPDT mini-switch, the Grabber Bass offers the trusty feel of C-profile maple neck and comes complete with a premium gig bag as standard.”

Sabian Stratus
|
Stefan
|
“Sabian spent two years developing the Stratus Series in collaboration with various drummers. The result is a range of cymbals that support virtually every style; from the dark complexity demanded by styles like jazz and fusion, to the tonal brightness necessary for pop and rock.”
|
Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster
|
“The Squier Hello Kitty Stratocaster is no doubt the most remarkable electric guitar released in 2024. Bax Music had 80 models in stock, all of which were gone before release day ended. Miraculously, what started as an internet meme has become a coveted collector’s item.”

Roland VQD106
|
Stefan
|
“The Roland VQD106 is the quietest drum kit built to date. Featuring V-Drums Quiet Design pads, this electronic drum kit can be played in a thin-walled apartment without annoying your neighbours. Even rimshots and cymbal accents are so quiet that you can still have a normal conversation.”
|
Line 6 POD Express Bass
|
“Loaded with 7 amps, 7 speaker cab emulations and 17 effects, the POD Express Bass gives you plenty to choose from. This multi-effect pedal runs on Line’s popular HX technology and has an especially intuitive control lay-out.”

Fender 70th Anniversary 1954 Strat
|
Barry
|
“Earlier this year, I headed down to the Fender head office in London with a collague to hand-pick a number of exclusive Custom Shop models to add to the Bax Music range. One of the absolute highlights was the ’54 Strat: a model that doesn’t just celebrate the 70-year anniversary of the Stratocaster, but gets full marks for the unique finish.”
|
Pearl Decade Maple
|
“Pearl’s drum designers took ten years to design the perfect drum kit for ambitious drummers who are ready to upgrade to a pro-level kit. The result? The Decade Maple Series, with 5.4mm maple shells that show what 70 years of experience in drum-crafting sounds like.”

Boss ME-90B
|
Danny
|
“What bassist doesn’t want access to a huge range of sounds? The BOSS ME-90B multi-FX processor serves up 61 effects, 10 preamps and every knob you need to dial in your new signature sound.”
|
Nord Grand 2
|
“What’s dipped in red and comes equipped with keys? A Nord-made stage piano, of course! The mighty Clavia Nord Grand 2 indulges keyboardists in need of professional, tour-grade keyboard and features nothing but high-quality sounds and in-depth features.”
