Very cool and rare collection of STC microphones as used by the BBC in the 50's and 60's. My favorite is the presenters lip mic. Amazing craftsmanship!

Just welcomed this beauty into the studio 🎸🔥
A 1966 Gibson EB-0 Bass — straight from the States and loaded with vintage soul.

You can see the miles on it, you can hear the stories in it… and trust me, it sounds as good as it looks.

Can’t wait to put this legend on some records 🎶

🎸🇯🇵 A pair of mid-80s Japanese Contemporary Fender Stratocasters. True hidden gems from one of Fender's most underrated eras. These beauties have been part of the studio arsenal for years now and they never disappoint.
⁠
Built with incredible attention to detail, they punch way above their weight. Smooth necks, killer tones, and that unmistakable vintage MIJ vibe. If you know, you know. 🤘

🎙️ New Arrival at the Studio 🎙️
We’ve just added something extremely rare to our mic locker — a stunning pair of 1940’s BSR RBM1 Ribbon Microphones.
These vintage gems bring a warm, velvety character that only true ribbons from this era can deliver. Perfect for capturing vocals, strings, and anything that deserves a touch of golden-age magic.
