In 1995 I got in fraudulently. It was so unworkably over-crowded [probably largely with others who got in fraudulently too] that I've had no interest in returning.

I wish... Though my friend Dave, the guy with the really huge drum kit will be there with some sponsor.

For those of you unable to get passes, you can always hit up the Hilton (hotel) Fri and Sat night. It's a huge party, no badge/pass necessary, and you will have the opportunity to meet/see lots of people there. And its FREE! In the past I've seen/met Lemmy, Nicko, Charlie Benante, Joey Vera, KK Downing, Glenn Tipton, Roy Z, Bruce Kulick, and many, many more!

The NAMM show is the tradeshow and showcase of music gear makers for music gear sellers. Every maker unveils their newest offering to retail shop owners to work deals.
The only (up front) way in is to be associated with a NAMM member dealer or a manufacturer.
Talk about a kid in a candy store if you get in.
Everybody's stuff that may never see a store shelf is there.
I'm good friends with a local boutique cabinet maker and he has allowed me to go via his membership to help check out gear. We meet up and compare notes on stuff that we examined.

I guess if anyone is a musician or in a band, they would love to go to that place.
I guess make sure you have plenty of money with you, and bring your check book b/c of seeing so much stuff that you want to buy up.

Actually direct sales are forbidden until Sunday. Dealers are signing contracts all the time but you can't physically walk out with anything until Sunday and only with proof you bought it.
You see a lot of toys you may never be able to buy because the never make it to market.
Good example I saw some Gotoh tuners for bass last year that seem they would fit on a G&L Tribute bass that would be better than the stock ones. I have the Gotoh catalog but nobody here in the US stocks them but I could get some from Japan.
For a musician it is like a kid getting into disneyland. :Spin:

Sounds like a lot of fun.
A drummer could probably buy up a drumset like Mike Portnoy's or Nicko's.
A guitarist could buy up equipment just as good as Joe Satriani or Steve Vai.

Oh that would be Robert Keeley Electronics, personally I’m going to buy this modded blues driver next, I think it sounds really good… when you get the product he tells you that he replaced all the caps and resistors to high quality silver mica that never grow old and wear down as the standard ones do, although, the sound quality is the actual byproduct.

I looked them up for you and they will be:
Company: Keeley Electronics, Inc.
Booth: 1279
Location: Hall E
