CMS Author MikeRivers Posted February 16, 2019 CMS Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Wow! It's almost like we went to two different shows. Great to see what I steered away from due to the volume, and not surprised that you found the noise level uncomfortable. Glad you got the guitars and pedals covered thoroughly. There are so many! I want to play with that Blue Cat "pickup designer." When I reviewed the IK Multimedia Modo Bass, the thing I found most interesting was swapping pickups and pickup position on a given chassis. I didn't get to Fender at all, so I missed the Acoustasonic guitars. Does what comes out of the amplifier really sound like a flat top when you've selected one of the acoustic guitars? That, I gotta hear. I'll probably have to wait until next year's NAMM, though. If I see you there, remind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mats Nermark Posted February 16, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2019 Thanks Bieke! That's was a great compliment coming from a NAMM Jedi Master like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mats Nermark Posted February 16, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2019 I got a similar thought when I read your report. The show is so big nowadays that you have to focus to cover your main area of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I am going to pull the trigger.. I recently joined Facebook after totally fighting it for years... got gig offers from old band mates.. going to start slowly wading the waters again. seems daunting. Seem like I have developed a bit of agoraphobia without noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do, but it could take a while Local shop carries Dano pedals, and they only just received their first shipment of the Millionaire series (pedals are already out for nearly 2 years) THe new pedals start shipping on April 1 and are 149$ street Anyway, these are nice enough pedals, but I keep reading complaints about poor quality switches The new pedals seem to have sturdier switches PG has a review with demo https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/28722-danelectro-announces-the-eisenhower-fuzz-and-the-breakdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bieke Posted March 22, 2019 Members Share Posted March 22, 2019 Dude..you are just a font of good info. Thanks for the link.👍 Well, let me correct myself then it's the Billionaire series that I spotted in the local shop, not the Millionaire series and I also spotted the new pedals are made in Korea also, the pedals are on pre-order now, expected to ship early April, also likely to sell out on pre-order so good chance that these will never make it to my local shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think it's Craig but he prolly has no recollection of it Like they say... if you can remember the 60's, you weren't there. I can remember only some of the 1960's, but that's because I was only 8 when they ended. Seriously, I can't think of any "rock god" who recorded their first album in 1968, can you guys? Peter Green had already recorded with Mayall, so that leaves the first Fleetwood Mac record out, although it did come out in '68 IIRC. Page was a long-time session player who played on lots of records in the early / mid 1960s, but Zep's first album was recorded in late '68, so they might be referring to him. Clapton and Hendrix had both already recorded multiple albums by then, so they're out. Jeff Beck had already waxed a full LP with the Yardbirds by 1966, so he's out too... I'm curious as to who they're referring to. I don't know, but my guess is it's probably... Jimmy Page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he said just as soon as they are he will put me on thé preorder..to make sure I get them.. when they are available I will order the two..The Eisenhower Fuzz and the Breakdown when I get them, I can try them out keep ‘em or send one or both back if Not happy.
