Any NAMM bass rumors yet?

Products at NAMM should be available at NAMM. If you're showing it, I should be able to buy it at the show. There have been things that I would have purchased if I could. The wait for weeks or months cooled my G.A.S. and I found a way to live without them. Sale lost. I get "the tease" but you better deliver or I'll get over it or move on.
 
I'm digging the Surveyor ’87 from ESP

This year, under advice from my wife and friends, I'm not going to be posting as many pictures during NAMM. In the past what I would do is take pictures all day, then go back to my room and spend hours uploading them, missing out on events and sleep.

This year I'm going to attend more of the after NAMM activities, post a few pictures, and get some sleep. The following Monday I'll start the task of posting all of the pictures.
Yes yes yes
 
Go to the Yorkville Sound Booth
  • Traynor YBA100 All Tube 100W amp... baby version of the YBA300
  • Traynor Big Block 115 (BB115) 1x15 + HF driver Combo amp (New proprietary Class-D super-power amp) front end is a derivative of the popular SB series.
Wha!!!!! A YBA100??? Where do I sign up for that?

That's not what trade shows are. Small manufacturers are looking for distribution and big manufacturers are trying to get retailers to make stocking orders. Both are looking for industry media coverage. Sales to individuals are irrelevant.
 
Fender will probably release a "new" "completely" re-designed line of Jazz basses and P-basses called "Excellence" or something like that... ;)
