Winter NAMM 2017 (ultra Pic-heavy)

#603
Amazing thread! @wintremute - what is your profession? Great pics, and great coverage of the huge crowded event. You make it look easy. ;)

This was Indigisound's first year at NAMM - they're already making their plans for "bigger and better" next year. I should be able to shuffle my work schedule around next year to make it there in person.

I do computer programming for a market research firm. As a mediocre bassist with a nice camera, it's my way of giving back to TB.

It likely won't be long before they release a version with slightly cheaper materials for around $2k (estimated).

They do this with all of their signature models. First they release a version exactly like the artist plays, and then several months later, they release a version with more generic woods, preamps, etc for much less coin.

Did they do that with Percy Jones?

Those K's....man, the way they don't neck dive. They're so light. The custom color opportunities. Or maybe just straight wood like Jesse's. After everything I saw and touched and heard at NAMM, it's the K that I'm still thinking about. I'll be honest, I had serious doubts about those pickups. They just seemed too, I don't know, flimsy? to deliver. But I talked to Remco, and he liked them. I listened to Andy Irvine play through them, and then talked to him, and he said what I was hoping: if you want that late sixties muddy humbucker, these will deliver.

Lucky me, I get to play them tomorrow night here in Vegas!

I don't know...I'm thinking of about going with the single pickup option so I can spends weeks agonizing over which one to put in it.

Do the new semi-hollow Ibanez SRs have neck dive? No...and I got about 10ft away with this before I was stopped (just kidding).

Darn you look like one of the guitar players I always gig with when I am Seoul....uncanny!

That green Hammersmith K bass is calling to me....any more shots of it? I am plotting a request for that, full scale, rw board, matching headstock and a 1.6nut/12 degree radius...wonder if they do that sort of one off....single PU - a 60s T-bird PU perhaps?

funny that folks are requesting Sire pics - but no love for the Swing booth that you did document...same company, same basses, different labels..I use to do work with them years ago...

I did not know they were the same company. Do they sell in different regions, or is there overlap?

Not my pics!
Found this interesting 5 page gallery with 472 photos from NAMM on Flickr this AM:

Very much worth a look for a good overview of NAMM that covers a lot of synths, guitars, pedals, drums, strings, woodwinds, brass, DJ gear, some booth babes and plenty of interesting basses.

(Extremely GRATEFUL to Wintremute for his incredible coverage!)
