Pat makes great stuff!

Love that blue 5 string PJ!

...and just about everything else there!

@wintremute if possible, pix of the rumored 12-string Grand Railboard Chapman Stick please. Emmett spoke of it recently on YT. Thx!

Is that bass bigger than average or is she smaller than average?

Thanks for the coverage. I know how exhausting it must be.

So I'm checking out these basses, taking my pictures, when I decide to flip one over to take a picture of the back. That's when a few people rushed to help me. It turns out these basses are $150,000, and are made out of some super rare wood. I felt the blood rush out of me when I realized what I had handled.

I can't see them selling any of these basses at half that price lol.

@wintremute If you get the chance, drop by Elegee Custom Guitars (Booth 2251).

After I attended NAMM 11 years ago - I bought one these carts.
Probably one of the smartest gear purchases I've made in terms of saving my back.
Entirely worth the money.

Update: The Tasting Spoon cart's bacon/egg/potato burrito was killer. It's the with all the Food Network "Chopped Champion" graphics on the side. Ten bucks well spent.

One piece, made out of Arium. It sounds like something from a fantasy novel, and looks like something from a science fiction novel. However, this thing is bad-azz!

I really like the sculpting some of these newer companies do. Makes the old P and J look rather pedestrian and flat.

He posted a Hagstrom 8, but that's been around for a while.
Wonder if Gretsch has a Tom Peterrson 12 strring at their booth?

Mad thanks Wintremute....
Drooling on my desk currently...

 

[Schlyder]

Trace Elliot booth please.

Did you get a chance to see David Pastorius? Jaco's nephew, seriously nice guy and 1st rate player to boot.

Totally agree.

Great job!

Going through various YouTube videos covering Winter NAMM 2018, I watched this one with Jeff Kiesel who gives a tour of their booth.

For those not digging this Singlecut Headless Zeus, they also have a Doublecut Headless Osiris (not referenced on bass side of the website yet.) This is not the Vader model. All 3 headless basses make an appearance in this video. Jeff picks up the Zeus and Osiris and holds them side by side, near the end of the video.

EDIT: Apparently, the YouTube video was copied from Kiesel's FB page without their permission. I don't like YouTube accounts who copy videos. Facebook doesn't seem to allow embedding of videos. You can view it within Kiesel's Facebook videos.
