Anything new at NAMM 2026?

[Jeff Scott]

Totally let down by the coverage

The show doesn't start until the 22nd.

Not bass related, but Orange just announced the OR60 amp. That's going to be a monster.

There's a guy at our gym who is on Pluvicta, that plutonium isotope-infused medicine they give you for a type of prostate cancer. He drags around a plastic sheet like a baby's woobie and puts it down on any machine he works out on, to keep from exposing the rest of us to radiation. The only issue is I notice he doesn't keep track of which side of the sheet he is using, seems to lay it down randomly. Therefore I avoid machines he uses. Perhaps they should put a geiger counter app in the iPhone?

Reminds me of a guy i worked with. We had to use a company vehicle in shifts. In Summer that guy would sweat so much that his swamp ass would literally leave the drivers seat wet.! I contend he could have easily used a blanket to absorb it,
( we worked at a hospital) I asked him to do so, he would refuse. Management did nothing, they didnt use the vehicle. i had to get a thick blanket to avoid this foul inconsiderate act of excessive sweating.

At least I'm quite sure it will take a while before AI can derail a TB thread that creatively like us...

Sounds like something a robot would say just to throw us off scent.

Sort of like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry can't get the horrible smell out of his new car after the valet drives it?

I had a friend at my old gym who was a triathlete, used to be on the elliptical for 3 hours, left a pool of sweat underneath when he got off. Never cleaned up after himself. At least I didn't have to sit in it!

 

[OzzeAsjourne]

Well, I think I will have to save some money for this

Is it really 63.3 kgs (almost 140 lbs) or is that a typo?

 

[OzzeAsjourne]

Yep, crazy but it seems heavier than 8x10, that is 59,4 kg.

(EDIT: I cheked the official site and it says 63.3kgs BOXED. Unboxed is "only" 58.55kgs )

Thanks. I didn't see that they provided boxed and unboxed weight, there's only one number in the press release.

Orange is a nice company. They even give you wheels.

 

[Dilatant]

It's great to see orange building heavy cabs...mesa lost me as a customer when they went ultra-light...bergantino too.

darkglass will announce a larger 6 pedal anagram with more screen real estate. it will cost as much as a small car

Small cars cost $40,000. Decent rides cost $80,000. It's 2026 not 1976.

 

[Stubb]

Darkglass will also launch a line of powered cabinets...

Very curious about this.

You think decent cars cost 80g?

 

[agedhorse]

Not any car that I personally care to drive costs that much…

What are you driving. Seriously curious.

Ashdown is moving their remaining production to their UK factory. The new lines are renamed , such as the UK-RBM (Rootmaster Bass Magnifier Series), UK-Original Magnifier Series (heads, combos and now in 300 or 500 watt configurations), UK-SBM (Studio Bass Magnifiers) Combos and new UK-PBM-200 (Pocket Bass Magnifier/Ant).

The following portal will link you to the various ad copy, operator's manuals and spec sheets for their products.

Aguilar made a Tonehammer combo. Looks pretty sweet!

 

[Snibborwocky]

For the first time in probably forever, I'm more excited about pedals and amps this year than I am about new basses.

 

[FenderP]

I believe that other than a Custom Shop event on Wednesday, the only official booth Fender will have at the show is for Fender Studio (formerly PreSonus Studio One).
