wintremute's NAMM 2020 experience

View attachment 3675930

This is a pedal developed by friend and legend Neil Jason. It’s the Seamoon funk machine and what is cool about this envolpe filter is that it does not boost your lows when engaged. It’s keep the quack but keeps it even and avoids the spikes. I love it, and I’m getting on in the first batch.


I had an original Seamoon Funk Machine, sold it in a time of dire financial need on Reverb- Flea bought it. ;)

I miss it and would definitely be interested in hearing a new one, if it's as good.

It's MARVIN Guitars, not Martin! :D 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.

Beat me to it. ;)
 
My Thursday at NAMM wrapped up with catching Tony play one more time at GHS.

Then...it was off to JT Schmidt's for the 1st of 2 nights of the Tsunami Bass Hang.

Tony wanted to run over to the Bass Bash. I knew Remco and Alex Lofoco were playing at Tsunami's gig later, so I told him I'd go but we better be back in time to see Remco!!!
 
Back at JT's, and I catch Remco and Alex. I liked their drummer. He did a great job of keeping two amazing bass players on track. There were some flubs, but I'm really looking forward to what they have going on. Alex said that they should have their recordings released around February.

After he played, he was sitting in the audience with Ana Karina. I went to tell her hi, and she invited me to a secret gig she was playing Friday night. She couldn't give me details, but told me I had to be on the guest list to get in. Luckily, her time didn't conflict with Tony playing on Friday night, so I said "yes".

Then, I went back to my Air BnB and crashed, wondering what the secret concert was.

Hey Wintermute

Just my two cents, I have really appreciated all that you have done for this forum over the past couple of years. It's really so far above and beyond. I am so grateful. After being a NAMM regular, I no longer feel the need to even bother. Especially when I can sit back with my feet up - a nice adult beverage and snack in hand - and watch the show unfold: the show that you so diligently create by posting all your hard work for us to see.

I am so glad that you managed (hopefully) to have a much more fabulous time this year, by waiting until today to post your precious pics. I for one, really do appreciate it. Hey I would wait a couple of weeks if that is what it takes to see the pics - no hurry here, it's always worth it - and I am not in any rush. And, I must say - as a foodie - I enjoy the food postings at least as much as gazing at yet another Fender clone. It's very comforting to me that our guy is eating his heart out while in L.A. So I for one, am a big fan - and I will scour the postings religiously as long as they appear on my interwebs. Best to you and THANKS again!
