I checked out one of those Vintage basses( sunburst reliced P). It had really sharp fret ends on it. Looked really nice though.

NAMM officially starts tomorrow, but I came a day early to visit my niece and nephew, and then hang out with a bunch of bassers at Downtown Disney. Thanks again to @Andy Brown and @TonyP- for helping to get into NAMM this year.

The evening started with me trying to keep up with the kids playing Just Dance on the Nintendo Switch. I got so sweaty, I had to go back to my room and clean up before I could hit the Uva Bar.

It appears that I was lagging behind, because I got a text from someone asking where I was. Our very own @BassCliff

Chance Wilder Onody was present https://www.chancewilderonody.com/
He was at the Tsunami Bass Hang, and is a tremendous talent.

Cliff wasn't playing Downtown Disney this year, but Carmel Helene was. Her bassist is Tkai (not sure on how to spell his name).

I like that Sonic Blue Mustang Bass.(Tkai ?) Derek Frank just posted picking up a 1973 LP Blue Competition one from a vintage dealer at last weekend's NAMM--and he is stoked. I have a 75 Mustang bass and it freaks me out every day--especially recording. Any day this bass sits with a P Bass any day--in my books. Nice pics BTW

Who is this with the Jack Daniels bass?

 

[TolerancEJ]

That's it for tonight.

Lucky pictures are digital in this age. Otherwise you would have spent a fortune on film. A sincere Thank you for providing the TalkBass community with these pictures throughout the weekend.

Geez; just when I think there can't be any more from NAMM...
I noticed what looks like a Supro and AC catalog.
Did many manufacturers have catalogs at NAMM?
I have a nice collection of vintage paper but haven't found much printed material these days.

Tony, I see that mute thingy by the nut in a lot of pics. In what situations do you use that?

 

[TolerancEJ]

From this years' NAMM, I'm happy to learn about Devon and Lorita. Very cool instruments.

Watching these pictures makes me think that Gibson made an amazing job at destroying a brand's reputation...

A nice jam. Who is this guy?

This is Juninho Braguinha, a brazillian bassist and one of the top players of his generation.

I saw some pictures of the Tsunami V-15. Has anyone got a chance of hearing it or even played with one?

 

[Bikeguy57]

Didn't see much of the Fender booth, did I miss it?

 

[JW56789]

Thanks to you all for all the pics and the time it took to get and post !

I've always wished in a way that Spector would have made some series of bass that looked like Warwicks, just to even things out . . . . . and the new Trace gear reminds me of when Hartley Peavey used to rag his competitors for 'being the same name under the 3rd or 4th owner'.
