Who's going to the 2008 Namm show?

Spicoli · 12-26-2007, 11:08 PM

Who's making the trek to Anaheim Convention Center to the 2008 Namm show? I will be there checking out all of the new gear and doing a little weirdo watching as well. I will also be taking a plethora of photo's of new gear and a few of the "spokes models" that some of the company's use.

WildeStarr · 12-26-2007, 11:18 PM

Not me. I went 90,91,92,93. I have had no desire to go back.

BCRGreg · 12-26-2007, 11:33 PM

I'll be there.

I'll be the one pushing the Peppermint Creep assholes down the stairs.

Roman Rist · 12-26-2007, 11:44 PM

I should go, but I hate it. Been there done that. But we'll see.

BCRGreg · 12-26-2007, 11:53 PM

Aw, come on Roman. Don't puss out.

Imagine all the noise,the painted up bottle blondes acting like it's 1983, the yellow pass idiots getting in the way, the combovers in the Keyboard area, the overpriced newsprint sold as salads......

Roman Rist · 12-27-2007, 12:04 AM

sweet talk me

El Toro · 12-27-2007, 12:10 AM

I'm going. Can I get pics of you pushing the PC guys down the stairs?

BCRGreg · 12-27-2007, 12:11 AM

Vid, baby, VID!!!!

Roman, don't forget waiting in line to piss, rolling suitcases bouncing off your shins, perfume, aftershave, more yellowpass fuckers......

lp59aholicDon · 12-27-2007, 01:38 AM

If I can make it to Orange County, I have an offer to help me get in the door
I've never been, I think it'd be cool to see Greg and Roman, there, as well as Spicoli and others from here

BCRGreg · 12-27-2007, 01:50 AM

Roman's cool.

I'm just a schlub.

It is, my friend owns a music store and we go every year. We are the yellow pass guys Greg hates so much.

I tell you what, the worst guys there are the idiots that think they are "real" artists or the dude that thinks he's a custom guitar builder because he knows his way around a Stew Mac catalog.

Roman Rist · 12-27-2007, 07:24 PM

If someone scores me two passes, I'll go. I'll buy beer too!

BCRGreg · 12-27-2007, 07:25 PM

Call me, Roman.

Southbay Ampworks · 12-27-2007, 09:07 PM

I'll be there masquerading as Flick. That ought to increase the membership.

Oh...wait...

Nah, I'll be there visiting clients and hanging out on Thursday & Friday with WCR. Saturday and Sunday are for the masses...no farking thanks... there are a bunch of cool parties and jams to attend though, so I'll have to bring a guitar and amp along with me to park at Wagner's condo, since he's (literally) four blocks from the NAMM show.

coldsteal2 · 12-27-2007, 09:50 PM

NAMM is so fun, thats where i saw Les Paul just siting
on a stool playing with nobody paying attention to him
(they just thought it was some old coot) very neat
day that was

TattooedCarrot · 12-28-2007, 03:41 AM

I call it DisneyNamm.

Spicoli · 01-16-2008, 12:25 PM

I'm heading off to the Namm show this morning! I will be there all week, so I should have plenty of time to get a bunch of pictures. I will also have my lap top with me and I will try to upload my photos in the evening. Let me know if any one has any special requests and I will do my best to get them. If anyone else is there and wants to hook up for a beer send a pm.

BOBBO · 01-17-2008, 09:49 PM

Just spoke to our special VIP, MLP correspondent Spicoli via cellphone from the Gibson booth at NAMM !! He was standing in front of the display for the new line of 50th anniversary 1958 collection !! He said the 50th reissue R8 is just a regular R8 with a bit of Murphy like aging and a bonus commemoritive 50th pickguard ! The one there was Iced Tea ! He will be uploading pictures from the show by tomorrow ! Be on the lookout for more !!!!!!!

Spicoli · 01-18-2008, 01:12 PM

Here are a few pics from the Gibson booth, I must say I was not really impressed. The '58 50th is nothing more than a aged R8, sorry for the crap pics as I was in a hurry to get out of there.

Here is the new Slash model

Here is the 50th 58 Les Paul.

BOBBO · 01-18-2008, 03:54 PM

Spicoli ... Is that Slash model a 3 piece top ?? That 50th anniversary R8 looks like Sybil !!!
