I got more shots than I can possibly get up right now, so I picked a few. My apologies to those I left out; I'll put them all up later.

I asked Rob Turner, EMG President, to pose with something bass-related. So, in Rob's typical twisted sense of humor, we see a dummy shell of an extended bass pickup. Is this some kind of pirate pose? |
|
Bobby Vega and Oteil Burbridge get ready to demo in the Modulus booth |
|
|
|
Carol Kaye, historic bassist and prolific TBL contributor, chatting in the aisles. |
|
Roger Sadowsky, exhibiting in the LaBella booth |
|
|
|
Susan Wickersham tells me she bought Ron Wickersham, the Alembic electronics genius, a couple of nice Italian suits. This I had to see! |
|
Stuart Spector, holding one of his new bolt-on basses. |
|
|
|
Phil Kubicki, and the famous X-Factor bass |
|
Louis Johnson started thumping in the SWR soundbooth, and I had to muscle my way in to get this shot! |
|
|
|
Hans Peter Wilfer, Warwick's head. |
|
After telling me that he'd like to get a digital camera like mine, once they got cheap enough!, John Entwistle struck this, er, interesting pose. |
|
|
|
Steve Bailey and the ubiquitous Oteil Burbridge rip it up at the Aria booth. |
|
Since I wasn't able to get a picture of him in the Zon booth (long story), Michael Manring said sure, he'd be happy to pose for y'all out there in Internet-Bass land. |
|
|
|
Steve Rabe and Jack Casady at the SWR booth. Jack's holding a prototype of the soon-to-be-released Jack Casady bass from Epiphone. |
|
Victor Wooten, causing many an eyball to pop out at the EMG booth |
|
|
|
I wanted to get a picture of the audience clapping after a spell-binding rendition of "The Christmas Song." It appears though, that as Victor turned around, I must've startled him! |
