did you by any chance get to play any of those bees with the circular pickup? if so...what does the shape do for the sound (if anything)?

 

[Munjibunga]

I didn't play any basses. I didn't want to embarrass anyone ... mostly myself. The Lakland pickups that look like mini-Darkstars are the new Chi-Sonics, I believe.

 

[kobass]

Good stuff!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Mike Pedulla a couple of times myself. (I own two and live about an hour away from his shop.) He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.


Thanks for posting, Munji!

Cheers,
Kevin

Munji, you look much happier in your avatar then at NAAM. Did the food not agree with you?

 

[ubone]

I didn't have my camera with me and I could kick myself for it. Munji, please tell me you got some pics of the Redwood top Jerzy Drozd six banger. I got to play it for a while and fell in love with it.

Is that a 6-string Barcelona floating by on the right?

 

[theshadow2001]

Let's see.

Now some Drozd, including the object of canshaker's disgust.

Lefties just don't get too many opportunities to see something like this. without forking out some serious dough. booohohoohoho

It must be awesome to see Hellborg and Berlin playing together. Both great players, but Hellborg is just on-another-planet-good.

Hellborg....

The only time I saw him live, he was sitting down with his legs crossed as he played and literally took his socks off in the middle of the show like John Candy did in the movie "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". Bizarre, it kind of ruined it for me.

That's because nobody wants to play a backwards bass, duh!

I guess he gets to display one of his more interesting models with the benefit of no-one actually wanting to play it and get it all worn and used looking

lol... I feel your pain I'd have done the same thing.

I love how almost all the Ritters are tagged as sold! Anyone who questions their pricing needs to learn about supply/demand.

 

[WoodyG3]

Thanks for the pics, Munji. That's got to be the most quilted, flamed, spalted and birdseye wood I've ever seen in one post!

I did, I was there through Bee Basses. They had a nice full sound (like all Delanos) Really stunning to see as well. The split coil one sounded like a P-bass on steriods.

 

[skaliwag66]

beautiful looking basses but i think those laklands smoke the rest.

 

[SoComSurfing]

I probably should be asking this in the amps forum, but oh well. Is Eden producing that tube amp themselves, or are they still using Koch to produce their tube amps like they were with the VT300?

 

[Spoiled Grape]

I can't believe I forgot to visit the Lakland booth. Ugh.

 

[Jerry J]

Some Zon.

After looking at the photos of most of the booths that I would have visited I'm not too upset that I had other things going and wasn't able to go this year. Although I would have enjoyed meeting Mr. Munji after all these years.

Out all the post that I've seen the only bass/basses that probably would give me GAS would have been the Zon 6 on the left. Or that fretted Zon 4, especially if it had been fretless. Keith's basses really looked great too, and I'm sure I would have had to spend some serious time there fiddling around. And I'm really surprised that there was no F Basses that knocked my sox off.

Thank you for posting all the great photos.

Those pickup look like Mini Darkstars. Any info on those?

Those are Lakland's own Chi-Sonic pickups.
