Summary
Josh Summers is back in the Worship Bass Coffee Studio—and this time we’re doing a full NAMM 2026 gear roundup with honest takes, practical worship context, and plenty of laughs. We kick things off with the Walrus Audio Mantle , why the price shocked us at first, and why it makes more sense when you think of it as studio-grade gear you can throw on a pedalboard. From there we get into DI/preamp options like the Fodera x Trickfish preamp , the Laney Digbeth Nathan East preamp (with its clever dual-input switching and IR features), and talk about how some “practice/recording-ready” pieces are blurring the lines between studio and live rigs. We also hit newer releases like the JHS Morning Glory Clean , what it solves for bass players, and why hearing pedals in a mix matters more than solo demos. We wrap with Aguilar’s NAMM releases (including the new octave and compressor updates and the Tone Hammer 2x10 combo design), a look at Tech 21’s Geddy Lee chorus , the new programmable SansAmp Bass Driver , and some honorable mentions like tiny tuners, no-tangle IEM cables, Spector’s new NS-inspired models, and Ibanez’s Mode series. If you love gear, tone, and worship bass practicality—this episode is a blast.
