Munji goes to NAMM - Now with pics!

Munjibunga · Jan 18, 2008

What a day, I was on my feet for 7 hours, but it was worth it. I took a ton of pictures for you, but it'll be tomorrow before I can put them up. Right now, I just want to say I went on a mission to meet as many of the builders of my basses that I could. So I got to chat with:

Roger Sadowsky
Mike Tobias
Mike Pedulla
Jerzy Drozd
George Furlanetto (my bass came in today)
and my main man Gard Lewis standing in for Keith Roscoe.
I even chatted with Vinnie Fodera, even though I don't own one of his basses (yet).

I got to talk to David "Eden" Nordschow, and he showed me some cool new prototypes that I'll post later. Dan Lakin was on the golf course so I missed him, but I met him last time.

Anyway, I just want to say that the character of all of the guys I met today matches the quality of their instruments. It was a deep and genuine pleasure to meet each one, and they all took the time to yak. What could be better?

Jerzy Drozd totally sounds like something out of A Clockwork Orange

Well, let's see. Here's the new Eden Rocco Prestia amp, mono 1400 watts RMS, and the new Eden all-tube head, 300 watts.

Munjibunga · Jan 19, 2008

Some Zon.

Some Fodera.

A little Sukop.

More later.

Ripper · Jan 19, 2008

hmm... anyone else not care for the sukop singlecuts?

Me and I'm not a big fan of the headstock either.

Hate 'em.

Snarf · Jan 19, 2008

I just think Sukops are gross looking.

Tony G · Jan 19, 2008

I very much like the Sukop headstocks, but yes, the single cuts don't do much for me either.

smperry · Jan 19, 2008

Thanks for the pictures. Any chance you picked up that semihollow Fodera? I'm wondering how the thick body affected playability.

[Edit: I'm sure Matt Garrison can play it just fine...never mind.]

I don't know why, but I immediately thought of a Beluga whale with the bulbous forehead...

Please tell me you snapped some at the Aguilar booth.

A couple. Not too much new there.

Here's one. I might not have put the others in PhotoBucket.

Here's Jeff Berlin, with Jonas Hellborg and Larry Coryell at the DR Strings booth.

Then you had Stu Hamm at the Peavey display.

Here's Tony Levin with a Talkbass Total Hyper-Elite Member.

And how could we forget Mr. Ed Roman, enjoying a hamburger?
