Super excited to announce the Matt Ramsey Signature Anaconda Ultra J5 Essence Bass.

Matt’s playing has become impossible to ignore — one of the most talked-about bassists in the modern Gospel scene, holding down the low end for Kirk Franklin and many more.  We met in the UK just under a year ago. He picked up one of my basses, played it… and a few months later, this collaboration was born.

Finished in Gospel Copper, with a Swamp Ash body, Rosewood fingerboard, and some special sauce still to come 👀

Originally planned for NAMM 2026 — but the universe had other ideas.

Pre-orders coming soon..

Excited to announce the new Jahmal Nichols Signature Ultra J4 Essence bass!!

The second of his Anaconda Signature models also features Bartolini B-Axis Pickups and NTMB+F Preamp. Jahmal is an Anaconda and a Bartolini Artist and he's a big fan of their Pickups and Preamps.

The tone from this preamp and pickup combo really compliments Jahmal's playing style. The Fingerstyle and slap tone of this bass, coupled with the other superb features of the Ultra J Essence Series Basses, makes this bass a real tone machine.

Jahmal is the bass player for Grammy Award winning singer Gregory Porter. 

Pre-orders coming soon..
