Orange

Demeter had some really cool stuff going on. I wish I had spent more time at their booth. Anyone here use them?

Flip top, like the Portaflex.

Marco Bass, where I miss @Passinwind.

BGF, Brown's Guitar Factory

PJB, Phil Jones Bass

Belcat had an interesting busking case/amp combo. They didn't have one for bass, but said they were working on it.

I finally saw NALANI. Nalani Music — Bass and Vocals

She was at the WooZen booth showing off her mutes, with Regi Wooten.

So, no one checked in with James Demeter to see what he's got going this year? That's unfortunate.

I was by, didn't see anything really *new*. At least nothing caught my eye.

In any event NAMM is not a careful listening environment so products like Demeter are kind of a waste of time there IMO

Probably very fine 'mutes' they are too....

Marleaux

 

[wintremute]

Cort

 

[wintremute]

more Cort

 

[Holdsg]

no secret then, that Cort is making the Markbass basses

 

[wintremute]

Olinto (La Bella)

As for La Bella strings, they said they don't have anything new for bass, and that they're currently rebranding.

 

[wintremute]

Meanwhile at the Bartolini booth...

 

[wintremute]

Down into the dungeonous depths of Hall E.


ENKI

Their cases seemed to be going over pretty well, but I've got some beef with them (as I'll explain later).

 

[wintremute]

Leathergraft Straps

 

[wintremute]

I didn't hear that. I don't know.

 

[wintremute]

For the luthiers

 

[BklynKen]

Thanks! Funny, what I'm most interested is in not what they're adding, but what they're removing/discontinuing.
