The guys at Marco Bass were super cool in helping to get the basses out so I could get some pictures. I think @Passinwind had some influence in that. Beautiful basses (inside and out).

New strings from SIT.

So they have a thinner core, which makes them much more flexible, with a thicker wrapping.. I asked if the thinner core meant they were more likely to break. They said they didn't receive any reports of breakage from their hundreds of beta testers.

So, NAMM is over for the day, and it's off to JT Schmid's to check out Tony's (@TonyP-) band play at the Guitar Jam.

Showing off that sig bass!

As always, Tony was FIERCE in his playing. He's my kinda style, where he just digs in and moves around, not afraid to just jam.

But don't just take my word for it, check it out:
