Their influence will remain vivid for decades to come, but they'll be sadly missed by those who knew and admired them.On a happier note, some pretty damn desirable guitar gear has been dragged up the GB office stairs by the postman in 2015. We round up the best of it in our Gear Of The Year awards from page 19 onwards, and you too could be a winner if you turn to page nine and enter our competition, in which we're giving away a swanky Gretsch archtop.What will 2016 bring for guitar players and bassists? As always, January will see us packing our bags and heading to the NAMM Show in sunny Anaheim where we'll be reporting on the hottest product launches for the year ahead, will recent trends such as extended-range instruments, mini pedals and faux ageing continue? Stay tuned to the live coverage from the show at www.guitar-bass.net and on our social media channels to find out.Finally, at this time of year it would be remiss of me not to point you In the direction of our subscription offer on page 52 - we really can't think of a finer Christmas present for your nearest and dearest!
