If you're talking about the GK stuff, I put a review and pic on the GK board here under the forum/topic "GK Players/Pictures at the NAMM show site"....

HH SR5 looks great. I think HH Sterlings look a little crowded, but thats probably just because ive only seen a few and im still adjusting.

Thanks for the pics, Randy.

You can post the amp stuff here, sure.

Thanks Jack, here's the GK and Epifiani stuff requested..........
The GK Fusion 550 sounded great. Three preamp tubes, two channels with motorized knobs and great tone. A very good mix of that signature GK punchiness mixed with some warm tube goodness.I hear that a Fusion 750 is following soon.The Neo 4x10 was also a very good sounding cab.Nice and smooth, good articulation without being harsh. Here's a pic of both......

I was told the new Epifiani PS 600 head is basically the most popular channel taken from their more expensive two channel amp with a few other small changes.It has a digital power amp and felt like it weighed about 8 lbs. The PS 410 sounded great as well, very good response acrooss the whole frequency spectrum just like you would expect from Epifani.They also had a 2x12, 1x12, and 1x15.I forgot who asked me about these but you can PM me for the street prices.
The Epifiani Performance Series PS 600 and PS 115




This Johhny Hiland guy was one damn good guitar player and his bassist(who also ripped) had a nice GK rig with a Neo 4x12 an 1001RBII

Yeah, I had a good time.......Hope BP doesn't kill me for this one

In that last pic, is that Dudley in the background with his back facing the camera?

Randy... what did you think of the 4x10 compared to the 2, 2x12 setup you're running (and me too in about 3 days)

The 4x10 was nice,much smoother tone the the RBH 4x10 with nice lows.Well rounded nice sounding cab however I prefer the sound of the 2x12's.They are definitely on to something with the Fusion 550, very PHAT and warm sounding while retaing some of the punchiness and quickness that GK is known for.

Great "equiptment" shot.

Uh....thanks.I stopped by the Ampeg booth and saw a Demo of a new(old)SVT some kind of re-issue that is supposed to by just like plugging into a 60's SVT? Anyways, I couldn't much tell the difference between that and the newer one, they both sounded good to me. I saw the Ric booth but was so tired from walking all day that I didn't have the strength to pick one up J/k, there is so much stuff to look at that you just can't stop at every booth but I did my best.........

Good pick of MM's gorgeous Black Cherryburst!

Thank you! Thank you!

Figgy, +1 on the crowded Sterling. Perhaps an HS set up will "open" 'er up a bit?

 

[Figjam]

HS would be good. Or just even a solid finish might look nicer,but the burst makes it look very crowded.
