Just got our first batch of Ruby Rickenbacker basses. We managed to get an early shipment so they are the first into the UK. All were pre-sold but we are now taking orders for the next shipment. The colour is a bit redder than we thought it would and we love it.

We are also taking orders on the following models: 330/6, 330/12, 360/6, 360/12  & 650.

Höfner have added the Club Bass model to their very successful Ignition series.

The Club Bass, first produced in 1965, offers a real alternative to the Ignition Violin Bass for those players who want the unique Hofner bass tone but prefer a larger bass guitar.

Hi there, Rich here and I'm here to tell you about these brilliant new Charvel guitars coming to Sound Affects. The brand new Pro-Mod line of guitars from Japan are just about to be released to a chosen few dealers which we are one of. The guitars themselves are excellent quality for the money and very stylish and included in the line is the 'Wild Card' theme that Charvel are known to add rarity and uniqueness to their production line. There're coming in the second week of September and they're absolutely fantastic guitars - definitely worth taking a look at. There's more detail about them below and I thought I'd just throw in a little bit of history about Charvel that I thought was interesting.
