Winter NAMM 2018 (ultra Pic-heavy)

Hi @wintremute,

When you're not looking at basses, you can pass the time with this.

Thank you for your indulgence,

You missed a few:
* 80s rockers who still appear to have long black hair, and the same clothes.
* Women wearing very high stiletto shoes to a huge trade show, and complaining about their feet hurting
* Drummers checking out cymbals with almost scientific scrutiny
* Media interviews constantly interrupted by passing musicians
* Downstairs booths with oddly familiar knockoffs

Lots of bald guys with pony tails
 
I didnt get the whole way through your list yet but if Veritas Guitars is there I know they have been working on starting to produce some pretty slick looking basses! I wouldnt mind if you took a couple pictures of their booth! Looking forward to looking through the rest of your pictures.
 
Awesome seeing all these pics. Thank you.

Meh. This is the problem with NAMM. With few exceptions everything is either a P/J copy, or "new and innovative" and absolutely fugly.

I'll be honest and say that I agree. It's no wonder that all my basses are boring P's a J and a CC Jazz. Booring compared to this stuff but I can't help but think that a lot of it looks like Pirate Furniture.
JMO!
 
Request for anybody there this year:

Please take some shots of the LowDown Bass booth (if it's there this year). Those were my favorite of the show last year, and I'd live to see if there's anything new.

It was in the basement last year, maybe it'll be in the same spot.

Oh, and be sure to play them too :D the reason I loved em' so much was how perfect they felt.

Much obliged
