Another GHS Brite Flats guy here.

That's you, me, and @Dark Horse.

He looks like he's taking a hit off of his guitar.

These guys said they're working on a bass version of this:

Fret Zealot

I was walking by this booth, and my eye caught a Spirit hiding in the back.

So now I'm drawn in, and I'm checking out this pedal. What I like about it is that USB drive that allows it to be updated/modified.


Sim1 Sound Imprinting (They need to work on that logo, it was too difficult to figure out what their name is. Clever logos are only cool if they communicate immediately).

I had a great talk with @chowny.

And this is an absolutely GORGEOUS purple bass (with drool inducing matching headstock).

The dude also makes pedals! I believe witchcraft is involved.

So I'm checking out these basses, taking my pictures, when I decide to flip one over to take a picture of the back. That's when a few people rushed to help me. It turns out these basses are $150,000, and are made out of some super rare wood. I felt the blood rush out of me when I realized what I had handled.

So I see this guy playing a bass I don't recognize at the Eich booth. I ask him what's up with it. He points to the dude standing next to me and says, "Ask him; he made it." So, I met this cool Australian dude who likes to make interesting basses.
