And I'm done before 1am! Tomorrow (or rather, today...Friday) I'm starting my day with a breakfast burrito.

What a stunning report, thank you!

 

[DWBass]

Thanks for your report and all the pics. What have I learned? We don't have enough bass manufacturers! I'm not much for the boutique instruments. Those AriaPro's caught my eye.

Great job Bro. I counted at least four food carts by the huge courtyard stage serving breakfast burritos, on to round two this morning.

@wintremute PLEASE post some pictures from the Sterling by Musicman booth. @SBMM had been hinting at some awesome new stuff. Thanks

Ok. First off, revealing wife's true age is bad. Repeat after me. Bad. But, if it's not over the line, she's wearing 62 remarkedly well.

The guys at Marco Bass were super cool in helping to get the basses out so I could get some pictures. I think @Passinwind had some influence in that. Beautiful basses (inside and out).

This is a 410. Oh yes, I know, you can only see 3 10s. However, the 4th one is inside. In their quest to make a smaller and lighter 410, their scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. Brilliant.

Just to add. The fourth speaker fires backwards. Such as at the drummer. Or off the back wall. More 3D sound.

I always feel spoiled by Jens Ritter because he let's me get behind the rope to take some really good pics.

Yea I saw that, said he sold out of everything he brought in 3 hours!

@wintremute - amazing pics. You do great work.
Feck, I'm exhausted just looking at the pictures! And you spent the day walking around finding and taking them. If we ever meet in person I owe you a fine adult beverage.
Thanks, amigo.
