Doors opend yesterday for the first of four days at NAMM. It was a real moment for me, I've known abour NAMM since i was a kid. Players would always ask 'are you going to NAMM' which in Australia seemed a world away and was a really big deal. If you we're going to NAMM you were obviously somebody really important. Doing the trade shows in the UK is great but NAMM is truly something to behold. They do things BIG in the States and NAMM is no exception. Infact when i got off the plane i thought i had shrunk, everything is just that little bit bigger.
So we set up and the show starts and before you know it we're swammped. Joe and MAc from Two-Rock who most graciously lent me a Jet Sig combo for the show stopped in to say hi. One of our artsists Prashant Aswani who is playing at NAMM found us as well. I met Phil from Matchless who also lent us a Clubman. It's so funny but as soon as there seems to be a lull, i just strike up a couple of bars on those two amps and a crowd gathers, they sound just beautiful.
Scott from 'Axe and you shall recieve' came down to meet us. What a difference it makes when you meet your customers face to face. You can sometimes forget how inportant it is when most of your day is spent in front of a computer but it makes all the difference in the world.
So day 1 is done, the feet are killing and the Jet lag has me in a dream state, but what a fantastic day. I can report that the passion for great tone is alive and well. So if you're at NAMM we're in Hall E stand 1458, come and say hi.
More tomorrow.....
