NAMM 2012

Woody, CB has been available on 660's and 381's for as long as they've been in production. My '08 660-12 has it and it really makes the guitar pop. JH has stated that the CNC program exists to do CB on 4003's. It's a matter of labor and materials availability that's the issue.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to take and post photos. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

So are the comments that you provided as well. The NAMM 2012 thread has continued to follow the ongoing tradition of providing great information and a good look at what the music industry manufacturers are up to in the current year.

Cheers,

Brian

what the music industry manufacturers are up to in the current year

One can however wonder, how long NAMM will remain a leading trade show... things are started to shift east fast if you ask me!
In the guitar business the big players might be US, but in other sections of musical industry the haydays of US or European names have long gone!

If anyone can get pictures of the Hofner booth it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I needed to know that Saturday before getting there on Sunday. Sorry, Ivan!

That was actually "Classic Musical Instruments" in Hall E:

I am sure I that I went by there, but they did not stand out, else I would have taken a picture of them ... or did I, and we just have missed it in all my pictures?

Hey Namm attendees,

Did you get any Freebies?

Any goodies for us mooches?

I'll take some separate pictures of the "swag" I got ... it wasn't as much as one might think!

I will probably post my Sunday pictures Monday night.

Thats alright, I'm not losing sleep on it. There are only so many variations you can do on a violin bass anyway.

Gary....Set #64, pic #3 sure likes like Chris Squire with his back to the camera. Was it?

No, it wasn't, to the best of my knowledge.

O.K., here are the pictures I took Sunday.
