My girlfriend loves Saturdays at the NAMM. It is a textbook exercise in 'wierdo-watching' for her. I go to run into old friends. But I will never work a booth there again, it is hell. And it takes weeks to recover too.

For me it was weeks or months actually to prepare and weeks-months to recover as well. On the Weirdos at the Show Mike, I had YOU on that list as well..lol

Ken,

Your basses are bad A** as well as strings and what not. We talked about when I was there in Nov. You have a loyal customer base (no pun intended) that find your basses and can't get enough. I would rather know you are working on my next build instead screwing around with NAMM. Jusy my thoughts. I think this forum will help that as well as the people's love spreading a word that has been heard for 30 years. NAMM is goof-ball fest. I have been twice and after the second time said never again.
I play your basses PERIOD (bt you know that). I play Eden amps period... It is easier for me to come to your shop to see pristine instruments in the making then it is to go to NAMM so why not come straight to you? Keep doing what your doing and we'll all keep you busy.

Dennis

Tone matters so play the best through the best.

Im new to NAMM so I love it..so far..

Speaking of walmart guitars, sams club too. all those starter packs.
And dont even look at the band instruments at sams club...your much better off renting a used one but if youre a parent, how do you know if the schools dont tell you that?

How does a mom-n-pop compete? only with lessons, but now with youtube and myfarce, well...
