Second Set of Rich's pics

Third and Final set of Rich's pics

Set # 39 (... and it's neck and neck between Gary and Rich ... - but Rich beat me to the post ... )

Post # 40
I have about 59 more from Saturday, but I need to get to bed now, so I will post those, as well as any I take on Sunday, as soon as possible.

Great pics! I used to go every year--the last time was in 2005. I noticed that Rickenbacker has demo areas in the booth with little amps and places to sit--way cool! They didn't do that before. I'd sure have been taking advantage of the seats, with all the walking a NAMM show entails. I had polio as a child--I've limped all my life, but I used to be able to handle the walking just fine, until arthritis set in in my right knee a few years ago. In '05 I was having to find places to sit about every 15 minutes or so--I don't think I could do NAMM today at all. At the end of January I'm scheduled for a knee replacement, and if everything goes well and I heal up properly, I'm going to try and go next year. Here's hoping--those pics reminded me of how much fun I used to have at NAMM.

Great pics, Gary and Rich. Thanks for sharing with us!

Jon, my best wishes for your leg condition and the operation. May you be walking and enjoying the 2012 NAMM show just fine!

Great photos, Gary!

I see Jeff Berlin and Alain Caron were at the Markbass booth. The first photo of the Marshall booth was great; the guy at the right scratching his head wondering how all that will fit in his insight was priceless! The Knutsen inspired harp guitars was nice to see.

Thanks!

I didn't see this until I got home tonight. I'll try get there Sunday.

Thanks, Joey!

One thing I've just gotta know...

Is the carpet the same as last year?



Great pics guys! I've gotta say, the whole thing looks a bit overwhelming...

I went to meet Martin Keith with Diane. Gary went over there also. Martin is a super nice guy! Makes nice basses too! Thanks for telling us to say hello to him. But Jeff, I won't tell ya what we said about you!

Thanks for stopping over by his neck of the Anaheim Convention Center, Joey, Diane, and Gary. There's probably nothing he doesn't know about me, we have had some nice conversations over the past year.

What Martin Keith basses are you guys buying?

HA! None right now. It might be a while before I'm buying another guitar. Next on the wish list is a JeTONYglo 330 anyway.

My apologies Gary for "interrupting" your post...... . I thought after your 35th or so batch that you had called it a night ! That's what we get after a long day at NAMM and tired minds are trying to shrink and edit pics in the wee hours of the morning..... Sorry about that !

No problem and no apology needed - it was just funny that were were going back and forth without initially realizing that we were ...
