Cheap Trick in town?

 

[Andyman001]

For some reason the uploads are suuuper slow tonight. Since I'm exhausted, this is going to have to wait until I get home tomorrow. Sorry.

its OK, that means it will last longer!

Again, great job

That would be a dog's breakfast. Looks the same going either way.

Did they bring back the "Hard Puncher?"

This is the most important question of the day.

 

[Haroldo]

Mr. Mute,

Thank you for this. Truly a labor of love.

 

[alack]

This is the most important question of the day.

I just checked the Tokai website. It appears the only bass they're making is the J

 

[neptoon]

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

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

i was thinking the same thing!

 

[ashtray]

More!!

Yamaha! They're in a separate building. On it.

I hear the JP sig has new pickups. Any pics of that

@wintremute Also check if Yamaha is planning to release that Patitucci semi-hollow he’s been spotted with.

I can't take much more of this. That is beautiful and then some.

Another fine job @wintremute

Travel safely and get some rest.

A few from the JT's Bass Jam last night at NAMM2018

Everyone was great at JT's Bass Jam but I think Ida Nielsen brought the house down. IMO best performance of the night.

 

[Holdsg]

Ida was funk personified

@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.

Glad you had a chance to check out AC Guitars basses. To be perfectly clear, I took on his product line and that bass is the first one incoming, not as my personal bass, although I would love to have one. It is also going back to his factory and will have his filter pre-amp installed. I don't know if you had a chance to check that pre out. It is a custom designed pre made for AC Guitars by John East.

I saw a video on Facebook of Dave Ellefson from Megadeth from NAMM and he wasn’t playing his normal Jackson bass. Anyone have any idea what kind he was playing?

Random dude at @chowny's booth.

@wintremute -I can't begin to thank you enough for all the hard work you've done. I've been looking forward to this thread since the last one and, as usual, you did not disappoint! Once again, you've managed to stoke the GAS fires. I should be irritated at you for that, but I got nothing but mad love and respect for you! Thanks again!

BTW, don't know if it's been mentioned, but I'm fairly certain the random dude in this pic is Miki Santamaria. He's a beast. I enjoy his playing quite a bit.

edit: I see that someone did mention it before me. Sweet. Miki is a great player!

 

[TolerancEJ]

I know “He” has one. How can I get one? And please not at $7K like Thundercat’s signature Ibanez.

Well.....Sadly, I'm not selling 'em....

Have a word with the nice chaps at Ibanez?......

Edit: Ooops another cockup on my part....Should read Yamaha NOT Ibanez...
