Winter NAMM 2018 (ultra Pic-heavy)

[dukeorock]

Next up was Julie Slick. She was playing guitar, though, not bass. That was supplied by Marco Marchera.

I just stayed for a few songs, then left. Long, grueling days, and still 2 to go! That's all for tonight.

Isn't that the Lakland bass VI she always plays? Looks like it.

Awesome thread. Thanks for putting in the time!

@wintremute for TB'er of the year! Thanks for all of these posts! I really dig the Ibanez stuff too. Did Sterling by Musicman mention anything about the Sterling Stingray that's coming out?

Nice pics -- thanks! Sorry you couldn't hang for the whole set. There's no amount of tired that could get me to leave a venue with Julie Slick on stage!

And that's a bass (Lakland Decade 6) she's playing. It's tuned E-e like a guitar, but an octave lower.

Great job, Wintremute. Can't imagine there was anything at NAMM we wanted to see that you haven't covered.

Ok, a bolt-on 1-piece. What do you think?

at least it doesn't look like a P-bass... thanks for your daily documentation!

@bebass tells me to go over to AC Guitars to check out HIS new bass. A quest!

So that's Michael's bass. AC also had this:

As I left the booth I told the AC guy that I was going to go tell Michael that I dropped his bass. However, when I got back to the Genzler booth he was gone.

I met the dudes from AC at NAMM last year - drawn by the city they're from since it's my last name (and where the Clan started) - VERY personable guys and they make superb instruments. Glad to see they're back again. AC is also very active on Talkbass in the Luthier's Corner.

This thread is too quiet. Please let me know what you think about some of this stuff.

Your thread is awesome. Really helps to be able to see some of the newer stuff; especially pickups and preamps. Huge thanks.

Poll:

Is @TonyP- prettier than Julie Slick?.....

I'm sure Tony has a... um.... very nice personality.

 

[kesslari]

@wintremute glad you're keeping yourself well fueled for the epic work you are doing for us.

 

[Fat Freddy]

I'm sure Tony has a... um.... very nice personality.

I'm sure that he has too but that wasn't the question....

 

[Holdsg]

What's that DB looking thing there? try and get a few more shots of it please.

An electric cello A guy was playing Kashmir thru effects on it, and it was awesome.

 

[Lowendtech]

Thanks for carrying us all around the show.
Great work.

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.

@wintremute - if you make it up to 14022, there's a finger puppet waiting for you. (while supplies last...)

 

[Sore Thumb]

Thanks Mr. @wintremute for sharing your experience. Absolutely loving the pictures and the stories.
