I’ve never even been to NAMM in Nashville and it’s in my back yard. I should look into how to get in already. |

Some interesting design elements there, like a floating rosewood bridge, those string through buttons/tubes?, and that reverse Strat jack plug. |

Interesting. Kinda funny how much the emphasize "4 strings" in their description: Stonefield offers a range of 4-string bass guitars in our F Series, G Series, M Series, and C Series. The F Series 4-string electric bass guitar is our production model instrument. Enjoy superb looks, neutral balance, and high performance - at a price to suit your budget. Next up, the G Series bass is a step up from the F Series, with the Tomm Stanley™ Tuning System, floating wooden bridge and passive electronics all included as standard features. The M series model started out as the ‘original’ Stonefield bass and is our highest spec’d instrument to date. Handmade to order, each M Series 4-string bass guitar delivers an unrivalled playing experience. The C Series is a paired-down version of the M Series with all the essential elements of a Stonefield bass. Whether you’re a professional player or simply love to play bass, find the 4-string bass guitar you've been searching for. |

Tuning machines are even wackier than the jacks. |

I kinda like it, but I don't like how high the strings pass over the body and how far those pickups stick out. I appreciate when something stops me from digging in too deep, especially when I slap. The jack is interesting, but positioning it between the pots looks weird. |

Hey Peter, I am here, but for work. I’ll let Marc post about NAMM, he has a much better perspective of the show than I do. |

Lot of lefty Rics at NAMM including my elusive dream bass 4003sw. There's never been a better time to buy a Ric than now imo. It's craziness I think I counted 60 for sale on Reverb. |

Summer NAMM seems to be much more guitar-centric as opposed to the overwhelming information overload that is NAMM in Anaheim. |

I have long ago given up the hunt for the microscopic amounts of lefty guitars and basses at NAMM . I do, however, go to insane lengths to plan/map out new products and artist demonstrations. then tear up the game plan by the end of the 1st day because of getting way-laid by 1) cool stuff we stumble across 2) folks/friends/artists we run into and 3) sore feet!I'm also a synth junkie and spent a lot of time in the Korg booth playing with the ARP 2600 re-issue. And at Novation with the Summit. And at ASM with the Hydrasynth. Spent a couple of hours one morning in the Gibson acoustic room and had the wife try out various SJ-200's (they have some cool new models!), Hummingbirds, Doves and the Cheryl Crow sig model. I got my hands on the lone lefty SJ-200 . Gotta get there early to avoid the cacophony lol. I'm SO glad Henry J. is out of the picture at Gibson, it is truly a breath of fresh air dealing with them now.Also spent a fair amount of time in the Pro Audio section checking out the gear as I want to simultaneously upgrade and downsize my P.A. Artist-wise it was a bit thin for us this year. Didn't really run into anyone I recognized, though my drummer buddy who did attend on Saturday ran into a ton of artists, none of whom I recognized lol. I did very much like the new bass amp by Traynor: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10218740485877554&set=a.1950054545337&type=3&theater And then there was this, probably my favorite drum booth at the show: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10218756536798817&set=a.10203502153368765&type=3&theater My FB page is wide open, so you should be able to see whatever I posted re the show. |

The 100 is missing the range and resonance controls, though, which I actually use a lot. On the other hand, only 22 pounds! But I also have an Ashdown Little Stubby for quieter stuff. Yet still........ |
