Damn it, it's the man trying to keep us down. Thanks for the info, it would have been embarrasing to be reduced to standing out front and seeing if I reconize anyone famous amoung the sea of industry types that look like the simpsons characters comic book guy and auto Need a date? I'm pretty ugly and I don't put out, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members voneville Posted January 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2006 I believe it's the 20th to the 23rd of Jan. I know it's that weekend for sure, but not 100% on the first and last day. I think it's at the anaheim convention center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chairborne Posted January 4, 2006 Members Share Posted January 4, 2006 Don't forget that guitar show at the OC fairgrounds not far away (Costa Mesa) that same weekend. It kicks ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jerry_picker Posted January 4, 2006 Members Share Posted January 4, 2006 Originally posted by jerry_picker That's about what a full year NAMM membership costs, I believe. Having been to one Winter NAMM show, I'll tell ya dis: You will have the opportunity to see great guitarists play at a mere arm's distance from you in a cool backstage atmosphere: I saw Hellcasters, Dick Dale, Dave Mason, Johnny Hiland in 2004. You will meet legends, talk to them, shake their hands. Other forumites will be showing their wares or visiting.It may be worth $200 for the entertainment, education, and memories-for-a-lifetime. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jim_Soloway Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'm going to have a booth this year for the first time (actually I'm splitting it with Fargen Amplifiers and J-Design Cabinets). We're downstairs in E hall in booth 1389. I'll have a bunch of guitars including our new solid body model and a couple of 6-string trems. We're going to have a sound proof 4x8 foot booth to play in, so people shoudl be able to playt as loud as they want without having to worry about the "volume police". I'll also have a couple guitars at the DiMarzio booth as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jerry_picker Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Man, NAMM is getting hard-assed about membership and who they let into the trade show! http://www.namm.com/membership/(Read the "Note" in yellow on the webpage.)And how do you get a non-member visitor's "yellow" badge?

Members ZX-Matt Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Well, if anyone happends to spot a Yamaha RGX A2. From the pictures I've seen, I don't see a truss-rod opening at the bottom of the fretboard, or a cover for one at the headstock. Has me wondering if there is one.
