Winter NAMM 2018 (ultra Pic-heavy)

I made it home in record time (great traffic and a heavy foot). My wife is getting tired of listening to all of my NAMM stories, so it's back to uploading. Also, I figured out the "technical difficulties" I was having. I forgot to resize the photos to be smaller, so it was taking forever because the files were yuge!

So, continuing Saturday...

I stopped by the Marshall booth, and asked what they had for bass amps. They pointed to the dimly lit corner where all the Eden stuff was. How shameful! I got the Eden guy to come and talk to me, and here's the scoop:

Nothing new at NAMM. However...Eden, like Marshall, is undergoing a rebranding. They're laying kinda low right now, but later on this year they're going to come out with some big announcements to go along with a new image.

And now it's time for some more highbrow art. Please prepare your wine and cheese. The caviar is next to the champagne fountain.

Zemaitis.

Something tells me the ones with all the inlays weigh more than T-40s!
 
I was able to get Wena to pose for some pics with her sweet custom Dingwall.

That bass is heavy, and that neck is wiiiide. However, it just goes to show that even small people and small hands can handle a full-size (or larger) bass! Don't let size be a reason to not try it, but get what's comfortable for you. [i.e., this is not an anti-shortscale comment, this is a pro-play-what's-comfortable comment.]
