Remember, Dog—before his American Idol fame, Randy Jackson was just another badass bass dude who always knew how to sound fresh. With its tube preamp and 500-watt Class-D power amp, Randy’s signature Markbass TTE 500 rig mixes modern and vintage vibes both sonically and aesthetically.

Fretless phenom Steve Bailey’s serpentine sojourns certainly sound superb on this slick slab of snakewood. . . . Okay, enough. Steve’s new Warwick signature bass boasts an ash body, an asymmetric ovangkol neck, a fretless snakewood fingerboard, and Steve’s signature Seymour Duncan pickups and electronics.

The 300-watt all-tube Raptor head features a tube complement of six 6550s, four ECC 83s, and one ECC 81; the Raptor cabinet combines single 15" and 12" Neodymium drivers with a pair of 10" Neo speakers for a combined weight of just 75 pounds. It might be lightweight, but this Raptor rig is cocked to knock your block off!

The 220-watt MiBass 220 and the 550- watt MiBass 550 are featherweight, feature-rich heads that look righteous in their own right, but Ashdown has plans to offer customizable faceplates that can be etched with user-defi ned designs. Sublime!
