Video From NAMM – Four Handed Bass!

January 25th, 2012

Here’s more video from NAMM 2012.  I like to call this “Four Handed Bass”.  Oliver McEwan was showing us his new Mike Lull bass and demonstrating some pedals and amp gear from TC electronics when Uriah Duffy wanted in on the action.  Watch this hilarious video to see what happened!

 

Video from NAMM – Jermaine Hall and Oliver McEwan

January 23rd, 2012

I just got back from the electrical atmosphere that is NAMM!  Words just cannot explain how incredible the experience really is!  A whole convention center full of the world’s brightest and best musicians and manufacturers all there to hang!  I already plan to go back next year!  New friends were made, a couple of musicians lost respect (more on that in a later post), and I learned about a side of this music business that I really didn’t pay much attention to – the merchant side of it all.  At NAMM everyone displays the best that they have to offer in hopes to woo new customers and raise the bar on instrument manufacturing.  All of the craftsmen present their take on age old instruments and the attendees have the opportunity to try everything out!  Great Experience!!

It’s nothing to walk down any isle and hear incredible musicianship.  Here’s a video of my bro’s Jermaine Hall and Oliver McEwan in an impromptu jam session at the TC Electronics booth.  They’re jamming to MJ’s Human Nature.  Enjoy!
