WILKINS

He's got new medium scale basses. I played the blue PJ on Sunday, and it was pretty nice. I should have put a strap on and tried rocking it.

It's MARVIN Guitars, not Martin! Marvin is the brand name of Keith Horne. His shop is in the same building as mine, across the hall. We've been working together for years, helping each other out.

The blue 10-string is indeed a beast. I made the bridge and pickups for it. It's still available for sale at the moment, we just unpacked it this morning.

MARCO BASS

Another always packed booth. @Passinwind could chime in and tell you about some of the details on these basses.

Yep. Anyone can PM me and I'll get you the info. I don't directly work for Marco, I'm just a friend and help out with electronics stuff on a few builds each year.

MTD (MICHAEL TOBIAS DESIGN)

This year they didn't have the claustrophobic booth. The layout was MUCH better to view their basses.

Hipshot had a variety of basses to display their wares, most notably Pete HILTON and SEREK.

This bad boy is made out of skateboards!
