Vigier Excalibur Special 7-String
The Excalibur Special features an alder body with a maple cap, a 1-piece maple neck with the company's patented 10/90 carbon-fiber construction, DiMarzio Blaze pickups, and a proprietary Schaller-built trem that pivots on fine needle bearings.


Paul Lairat Sirya Bass
Paul Lairat's new Sirya bass was introduced at the 2012 NAMM show. This handcrafted, unique instrument has a variety of wood options available and features Gotoh tuners, Delano Xtender pickups and a John East preamp.


NS Design
NS Design unveiled their new bass at the 2012 NAMM show. Available in both a fretted and fretless model, these 5-stringers are loaded up with EMGs along with a piezo in the bridge.



Epifani AL Bass Combo
Epifani introduced the AL series line of bass combos at the 2012 NAMM show. The AL is the first to use a solid-aluminum shell, something Epifani says results in improved frequency response and power output, without unwanted tonal colorations.

ASHDOWN VOLUME HAMMER - let's hear it against an 1970 SVT! Did they break the mold?

Sorry, without the diamond grill pattern, they just don't look Vox.

Not to mention Cippolina's idiosyncratic amp setup, which helped with his unique sound. But yes, doing the homework is always in order.

Gibson Jeff Tweedy Signature SG Wilco's Jeff Tweedy gets a signature Gibson SG at Winter NAMM 2012. The Blue Mist finish is gorgeous and it's hard to lay off the Cippolina vibrato licks with that Lyre vibrato in hand. Yeah, do your homework.. Cippolina used a Bigsby on his SG..For those of us who saw "Quicksilver Messenger Service" I know it wasn't a Maestro Vibrola on his SG Std. but a Bigsby B-5.
