Yes indeed, congrats on passing the 10k mark!
And thanks for all the effort to show those of us who can't make it to NAMM just a bit of what it's like!
8) 8) 8)

And that goes for both Gary and Joey!
:D
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Wouldn't that Rick looking mandolin thing be a copyright infringement?

Yes it is, I think that maker is gonna get a surprise before the end of the show. There was another what I'd call infringer, but like I said, after the negative remarks, I'm not publicly sharing anymore NAMM show pics.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

The mandolin is an INV made by Inyen Vina in vietnam. Blatant rip off.
I also think those Canadian Richmond models are a bit too close for comfort too.

I think the Richmond ones are a tasteful inspired by rickenbacker guitar. They have the German Rosemiesl Style Carve, with some serious mosrite in their as well. The headstock is close to. I think this one is just on the cusp of legality.

I adjusted levels a little to get a *closer* representation of the new Ruby. It really is quite a looker in person.
