    Nice - saw the guitar torture post on the skinny side - that BP's a one eh, torturing the poor guitarists. Sweet colour on the Luke.

    It would be great to see some pics of the stand and EBMM guys if possible.....oh and the exhibits please. Will they all be wearing gold coloured suits for the 50th anni??

    Non-EBMM, but is it?

    EBMM forumite favorite italian amp mfg. Markbass, has its NAMM catalog up on its site. (Markbass - Home).
    Some cool new stuff, as always.
    I was surprised to see that Marco is launching a new line of clothing, with some fabo T's, hats, etc., note the bass selected on one of them is very familiar:

    Okay, so…. pdn ray, very cool (esp. the active/passive bit per the video at TPB). Cobalt strings, also very cool and on the short list here.

    Nothing else?

    Inquiring minds want to know… wait, let me correct that.

    Obsessed forum lurkers with no lives who have nothing better to do than punch the "refresh" button like it was a telegraph key want to know.

    Throw us a bone, please….

    the gamechanger has grown into a device that allows you to totally rewire your guitar not just the pick ups...the jack....the toggle everything. It allows both midi in and out for switching....still never touching the signal pure analog switching unlimited digital switching. So lets say you use a midi pedal board....using midi in you and program your presets to include pickup changes...using midi out you can drive 50 different midi commands....flip the pickup switch and the fog machine turns on the lights change delay distortion ....endless sonic possibilities....

    Now just Cobalt....Just the most magnetic material on the planet that was impossible to wide due to its tensile construction but before Brian and the engineers and hundreds of alloys combinations...came up with the first definable signifigant improvement in the output and frequency response of the electric guitar and bass string....

    RIght there are things that are so crazy in the amount of man hours only to not be enough here so...


    Everlast Electric and Acoustic strings...the most transparent and durable coating yet....crazy good

    Everlast picks....in slinky colors...crazy durable and supple yet strong material for guitar picks never seen before...

    New Luke 3 that incorporates passive pickups with a active circuit that is always on that does not color the sound one bit but gives the player individual control of the output and level of each spot on the switch....oh year and an adjustable up to 12 db boost 'spank button' that has allowed luke to retire his tube screamer.....

    new Sterling by music man sub series....silhouette that is so good it hurts and streets at 199...a killer vintage stingray...and I mean killer one for 279 street

    JP12 Probably the final installment of the JP bfr series....JP has dialed it into stainless stell frets basswood body with maple top and tone block....

    THeres more
