Some random dude on some random bass.

Just kidding, that's Andy Irvine playing the orange bass that @MarkoYYZ should have given to me instead of selling to someone else (who is probably a communist and clubs seals). You'll notice over Andy's right shoulder is the silver glitter bass that also was sold without my approval.

Interesting the number of fanned fret 4's that are at the show this year. Many more than I remember seeing before.

There was a request for Yamaha, which has their own ginormous room in the Marriott.

I tried to get a shot of their room so that you could see how large it was.

These 5 basses are the new ones for 2018.

When I posted the Mike Walker Preamp, a few people asked for more info on the crazy looking cello. I went to the Newbasstone booth, and it was almost empty. It turns out some people took most of the stuff to an isolation booth. He said I could go join them.

So, I ended up in a small room with cellist Ilene McHolland, bassist Bas Vossen (with a name like that, what else would he play), and a couple of Newbasstone folk. They were testing, and let me stay to record. That YouTube video will be up later. Then, I got some a pic of the cello.

Random bassist.

and @JeffBerlin.

I went to Jeff's Cort demo. I have video of him playing, and video of him teaching. Videos will be uploaded later. I got to talk with him afterwards. My takeaway is that he is very passionate about teaching, and people teaching in what he thinks is the correct way - and he was polite, engaged, and pleasant when we spoke.

Random bass player at the overcrowded MarkBass booth that I could never get into.

Thats Alain Caron at the markbass booth..would not call him random. He is one of the best.

Tsunami wanted to take a family photo outside. They have their own photographer, so a better picture is probably on their website. However, I tagged along to take one myself.

 

[wintremute]

Spalt. Not sure if I got them before.

Someone asked earlier what GK @TonyP- was using. It's this:

And that's it for pics for Saturday. I'll try to get the videos uploaded, and get to work on the Sunday stuff. Good night.

Random to me, as in I had no plans to see him, I was just walking by.
