I wasn't planning on being there this year, but a friend sorted a guest space for me.
The main problem this year for me ws the sheer volume. It was offensive in the extreme.
There was supposed to be a 50 minute noisy period, and 45 minute quiet spell. No one except those using headphone rigs took any notice whatsoever.
I did get to spend some time with some interesting gear though- mainly pedals ( and through headphones!)
The new boss bass driver has some potential, and I don't feel the vids from namm do it justice.
The hookers green bass machine sounded great too!
I shall be returning to the shop to try these two and some others too, in a more 'friendly' environment.
I got to meet stu Hamm and Doug wimbish too
