Location: 6 String Ranch | Day 1, Boy is it loud in here! So many guitars.
Day 2, I think I'm going deaf, my feet are sore, those amps are getting loud!
Day 3, My head hurts, can't hear a thing, can't feel my feet, my knees hurt, where did all those fucking drummers come from?
Day 4, Is it over yet? Oh God Please let it be over!!!! |

Two words.... NAMM BURGERS (or Dogs if you prefer). I am tired and will post more tomorrow, but Ovation's booth is impressive. A real sound booth/room, excellent LX display, and some rather unexpected guitars too. That's enough of a tease for now. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Paul Wag, You gotta love some of that stuff. The problem is that they've just put it all together, good and tasteless. The conklin double bass is a serious instrument. Some of those others look pretty interesting. The ones I always liked were the ones that were total crap and everyone could tell it except the people who were showing them. A bunch of us used to vote on the worst of the NAMM show. That was fun. |
