#1 slot on notreble.com NAMM week

www.notreble.com is a really cool website for bass players (with one of those “I wish I would have thought of that” type names). Check them out, they’ve got a lot of great stuff from product info to blazing chops videos.

The results of their NAMM web traffic are in and our Super P took the top slot. Thanks notreble guys.

NAMM 2012 – video added

Here’s a quick youtube video of Mitch Starkman demoing the Super P through the new Aguilar Tone Hammer 350. Let me know what you think.

NAMM is next week. I’ll be heading down with a C1 (this one unofficially named the Vincent) and a production version of the Super P. This Super P turned out every bit as great as the David Swift prototype. This one is passive and we’ve designed a really cool passive mid/tone control that is flat at the center detent, rolls off treble on one half like a traditional tone contral and cuts mid in the other half for a really sweet fingerstyle or slap tone.

The new headstock badge replaces the scallop used on the Super J and the new string tree is influenced by 1950’s Jet-age American hood ornaments.

I’ll be hanging out at the Hipshot booth #5735. Monday I’ll be at Bass San Diego for Canadian Bass Day.

Canada Day at Bass San Diego January 23rd.

George Furlanetto from F bass and I will be at Bass San Diego Monday January 23, 2012 from 4:00-7:00 PM. It will be a great chance to meet and hang with the folks in So Cal. I’ll be bringing our new Super P as well as a Custom I if any of your guitar buddies want to come too. George and I will have lot’s of inside stories and information to share so be sure and join us.

David Swift plays the Super P on the Jools Holland 2011 NYE show.

We’ve got to give props to David Swift, the guy’s got FEEL! We managed to get the Super P prototype into his hands just in time for the New Years Eve Jools Holland special. You can search the show on Youtube. Here are a couple of links to the show with Jessie J and Cyndi Lauper. If you haven’t seen Cyndi in a while I’m sure you’ll be as wowed as I was.
