Anyone hear anything about Baer Amplification? I saw in one of the videos that they were sharing a booth with Nordstrand, but that's about all I can find.

NAMM 2010!!! Whats new?

I took a stroll through Baer. Nice looking cabs. The Nordstrand basses looked cool too. I didn't really have time to mess about though.
I really liked some basses from Brazil. A very nic guy from down in the Carolina;s was showing for them. I'll get the name and some pics later. Zero fret design. Started at about $1800 and honestly - it is one of the first times I've picked up a bass in that price range and thought "this is actually worth the dough." Very nice work.
I had time for a quick comparo of the new little tube GK and the MB2-500 - (I left thinking that the difference - if there was any - was extremely subtle. For all I coiuld tell, they had a black case for an A07 to display at the show ... the new little GK 200 watter is so small as to be ridiculous. Definately a hit for the jazz / coffee house crowd - it's just so kitten cute!
The one bass thing that made me gasp was the U-Bass ... Yep - Ukele Bass with rubber strings and a swallow pickup - It sounds killer through a GK combo.
For those folks looking for an acoustic thing to go with an amp - suspend disbelief and play one ... freakin' amazing tone and playability- That was the one bass oriented booth where I left thinking "I gotta get me some of that !"
That and the other thing was the new Dutch guy Simon in John Jorgensen's band - jeeze louise can that guy lay it down. Pull off runs on URB - at Django speed... just sick.... sadly - you can't buy that - If he was shipping those chops - I'd be first in line! and then there was Tony Levin's Stickmen (Sickmen ?) damn ... wonderfully weird.

is there any rule on shamelessly plugging something released by the company I work for? (...and I designed) Is that not allowed?
I'm not sure, but here are the rules:

Probably a little more leeway since it's in a NAMM thread, but I'm not a mod.
Wish we could have been there, but I had to focus on my health. Mission accomplished...weight & blood sugars are both going down so there's hope.
Health is everything. Glad to hear you are getting better.
not sure.... but if there are any orphan pre's laying around the workshop that didn't make it to production but need a home.......
It seems that Ampeg also have a range of neodymium cabs to add to their SVT 7-Pro:

The MB Fusion will be ready for distribution by March...
The MB2-200 is very kewl for tiny small gigs if you don't have a small combo.... I'm just sayin.....
More likely May. After all, NAMM stands for Not Available, Maybe May
lol...i think you did anyway
...I know, I kind of realized that after I posted.

yeah uhmmm... I never heard of Rupert Neve... until I saw your post.
I looked it up.
That halfrack 1U compressor/limiter and halfrack 1U 5b EQ peak my interest.
Nice...
I use a TL Audio 5051 now wich is 19" 2U... and I really love.
But smaller is always better....
I found the Belgian distributer and might check for price.
I could use a small compressor/limiter for a downsized setup.
You didn't really plugged anything IMO.
Rene, Neve is like the #1 name in studio mixing consoles. a lot of bass preamp makers "borrow" their designs for their preamps, the warwick hellborg pre being one of the more known ones.
