Winter NAMM 2017 (ultra Pic-heavy)

[Lowbrow]

Great stuff, thanks for the report from the scene.

Nobody is watching the RIC booth...now's my chance!

And just like that...I'm kicked out again.

Wow, Rickenbacker is really offering some unusual colors for their bass line this year. They're right up there with Fender!

 

[99Z3]

And our very own TB member @Jaymi is there as well! (pink beard)

Hey look...it's RUDY SARZO!

 

[Schlyder]

Aww makes sense, thanks.. But yeah, how the hell did they do that? Lol

CNC

Thanks for all of your efforts and hard work in sharing this with us all, Wintremute. It's like being at NAMM all over again and seeing a bunch of old friends (and cool gear!)

 

[Fat Freddy]

Just want to echo everybody that said thanks Wintermute....

Good job sir .....

Edit: Ooops!....Sorry @wintremute....Spelled your name wrong .....

Thanks again.....

 

[two fingers]

Thanks for the effort!

Carrots. Very nice touch. Well played.

You will be known throughout the entire convention now. The CEO of some major bass maker talking to some famous bass player....
"Hey what's with the dude with the carrots I keep hearing about?"

I love it! Our first TB dog whistle!

Hey @MarkoYYZ said my bass is floating around in an "alternate form" (not yet routed for all of the electronics). I know you have a long request list but if it comes outa the case shoot me a pic, will ya? I'm really wound up about that bass! It should be the only blacked out 5 hanging around Hammersmith.

Yer the man!

 

[Atshen]

I won't even try to figure out how they cut those fret slots.

They might be glued on. I hear Parker used to do that, even though their frets were straight.

 

[BazzaBass]

Thanks heaps for all your time and effort in taking these great photos. Almost feels like I'm there - You are a Champ!

- Tech21 releases the Carrot Signature Series bass pedal.
- Rickenbacker releases its new colour: CarrotGlo.
- Ibanez releases a new bass (CRT-series) that's half fretted bass, half carrot.

Thanks for letting us tag along. Just like being there except no smell of hairspray and leather.

 

[Joshua Pickenpaugh]

Wow. Major kudos to you, great photos! Carrots! lol

 

[Basehead]

This is awesome!

 

[ScarfFace]

Wow, I want one of these!

Me too.
Thanks for doing this wintremute!

 

[Bassworship1]

Please if someone is there and can get me some pictures of the Warrior Leather gig bag's I would really appreciate it.

Good point. I remember some early Parker Fly guitars having tangless stainless steel frets that were glued to a phenolic board.

 

[JusttheBassics]

Thank you for all the great pics! I'm GAS'n for a short scale Hammersmith!

 

[SteveC]

Thanks for posting all this. Some nice stuff.

I will say, nothing really "earth shattering" for me. Fancy basses, over-the-top basses, basic basses, nice amps, etc. I think it's a good sign that I don't feel as much G.A.S. as I used to while looking through these threads. My basses are about as fancy as I need. I'd maybe like t try a Roscoe Classic as an option for a passive 4 string jazz type bass, but that's about it. That and/or a USA Geddy is about all I have any kind of G.A.S. for these days. Oh, and my friend Dave's old P bass - but his is the only one I've liked today.

1pm...time for Remco!

That Remco dude is insane... I hope someone buys him a sandwich tho...

 

[bdplaid]

Thanks for posting this. Great job. A couple of interesting things - a fanned-fret that goes from 34" - 35" is very interesting. And seeing so many imports from Asia is disturbing...
