Top Bass Highlights From Namm 2025 That Caught My Attention
NAMM was a blast! Lots of great folks and gear. This vid sums up my highlights. There was plenty more there of course, but this stuff was the most interesting. There was also some software for remote recording, analog gear, and an app for stem seperation there that were very impressive. Let me know if you’d like to see a video on them!

Man, it’s so nice to see someone do a NAMM review while away from the showroom floor. A great way to actually hear your thoughts + the vendor interviews. Imma go bug RKM now, bc I want to see that Janek influenced bass review!
Great video. Just a small correction to the GK amp section – Class D is not digital. They are 100% analog and use switch-mode or PWM amplification to get much greater power efficiency.
Dave rat did a great video comparing class AB and Class D power supplies in working conditions – from memory other than the efficiency and weight differences, Class D is better at delivering power quickly to transients and AB can handle longer contant output loads. AB also distorts in a more pleasant way.
Great video!
Definitely interested in part 2
Oh man, the Jones basses… They might play and sound great, but I just can't get over the design of the longscales… That butt-shaped butt… ????
Other than that, really nice and interesting picks, I learned a lot! Never heard about Aristides, awesome concept! Devon already caught my eye, awesome stuff. The SD amp looks really nice, also the Trickfish stuff, and GK for sure (I knew about it before, but nevertheless). And that Grez bass is tasty! Okay, very similar to the Guild Starfire II. Let's see how much it will cost!
Great stuff! Love your content!
1st video pf yours I've seen. Great video. High quality. Your voice is great! You got a subscriber here.
Great video! Thanks for sharing bruh
I definitely would love to grab a double P DS series. That Janek inspired double P looks amazing as well.
The GK news is the best news I've heard from NAMM!!
Great report! The Devon Basses seem very cool!!! I'm seriously considering getting a Dingwall Combustion 6 bass. Why did you choose Aristedes instead of a Dingwall multiscale?
I vote “yes” on part 2
The Jones short scales were really nice
Could you get any closer to a fender though in your designs they look like the original fenders to me, But thats a great thing because thats when fender guitars made some sweet basses!
Thanks Hondo!!!
nicely done, sir
I fight against gear acquisition syndrome with all my might. I absolutely love buttons, knobs, lights, design, etc. Thanks for the vid. It feeds the addiction without my actual participation.
Super cool to see that hollowbody Grez
That Seymour Duncan amp is Siiiiiiick
Those double P basses look pretty cool. Congrats on ordering an Aristides. I'd like a headless multiscale bass from them.
Damn! A Trickfish combo?! Is that coming out sometime this year?
Seymour Duncan guy: 5 band eq??? It’s 4 band with semi parametric on the mids!!!
great video fellow Bass Player! please do videos on the Aristides , I've gone down that rabbit hole, went to their website, they are taking Bass into the future! God Bless!
No Darkglass Kaamos?
ty for the superbe content.
nice seeing brands / products beyond what people are usually lookting at.
the bass you bought caught my attention the moment it hit the screen. what a piece of art.
Thanks for the Jones Bass info! They look amazing! That Mustang looking one is fckn gorgeous! Cheers
Give this guy a sub if you like motorcycles and see this. Even tho this is a bass channel, he knows his shit about both lol
I really like how the distortion on the powerstage sounded.
Nicely Done. ????????
Real excited for the new GK amps. I can’t wait to try one in person.
Cool reviews . . . thanks!
Do part 2!
Thanks- I appreciate you showing some different stuff that I hadn’t heard about yet! Get over the NAMMthrax soon!
Thanks! #rkm #janekgwizdala
So much cool stuff. I'm blessed I already have all the stuff I need but there is certainly a lot of stuff I still want ????
