Listen closely to the audio examples and see if you can hear a difference before I reveal which is which. The Xvive A58 delivers 24-bit/48kHz digital audio, ultra-low latency (less than 5ms), a 100-foot operating range, and up to 5 hours of battery life. I also take a look at the BCA58 charging case, which makes it easy to keep the transmitter and receiver charged and ready for gigs, rehearsals, and studio sessions. Whether you're looking to eliminate cable clutter on stage or streamline your studio workflow, the A58 offers a simple and affordable wireless solution for bassists and guitarists alike.

I wasn’t expecting this… but this Klos carbon fiber neck might be the best neck I’ve ever played. I paired it with a Fender Ultra II body and the result is unreal.

Klos has been quietly making waves with their carbon fiber instruments, and after spending time with this neck, I get the hype.

Here's a short section of my song "Intergalactic Space Patrol" from the EP Tag Laser: Intergalactic Space Patrol. Check out the bite of this Ibanez ATK500 bass and it's Stingray Killer, triple coil pickup. 🔥🔥🔥 #bassplayer #basssolo #bassgear #ibanez #bassguitar #the90s #originalsong #musician Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daveporterband Website: https://daveporterband.com

Step back into the 90s and rediscover one of Ibanez’s most underrated bass lines—the ATK series. Often called the “Stingray killer,” the @IbanezOfficial ATK bass stood apart from the sleek Soundgear lineup with its bold body, massive bridge, and signature triple-coil pickup design. Built for punch, grind, and serious presence in a mix, these basses found their way into punk, grunge, and alternative scenes during the mid-90s. In this video, we take a closer look at two standout models: • ATK500KA (Made in Japan – FujiGen) • ATK815E (Premium Series – Indonesia) We’ll break down their construction, electronics, and unique pickup configurations, plus hear how they sound in action. From the early ATK100 and ATK300 to the reissued Premium models, this lineup offered a completely different vibe from Ibanez’s typical designs—bigger, bolder, and unapologetically aggressive. So… was it really a Stingray killer? Maybe not. But it carved out its own lane with clarity, versatility, and serious tonal punch. If you’ve ever owned or played an ATK, drop a comment—I’d love to hear your experience. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and check out more bass gear content!
