Hey Crew

We had a great time at Winter NAMM 2007.

It was one of our best shows ever. We launched great new products, saw old friends, met new ones, poured some great single malt whisky and bourbon's and even had great artists playing in our booth.

New products we launched
1. New Ken Smith Designed "KSD" 6 string Jazz Bass. We are using the Ken Smith Burner Headstock with the existing KSD Jazz Body. It will have the same circuit as the other KSD's though it will have 18ml spacing as compared to the 19ml on the 4 & 5 strings. We are taking orders on the 6 string and expect to ship worldwide in April. The Six string will be available in 60's, 70's and Fretless Black.

Images coming soon!

2. New Ken Smith Designed "KSD Brooklyn" from Japan. These new exciting basses are using the hand picked exotic woods from Ken Smith shop and assembled in Japan. Pricing and shipping dates are still being finalized.

Ken Smith is calling this line his "Brooklyn" line as his first workshop where he made his first basses were in Brooklyn.

Images coming soon.



3. New Brooklyn Gear 8 String Electric Guitar. This new guitar is the start of our new Brooklyn Gear guitar line. The guitar will be available after April as we are still determining pricing because our bridge source is being extra greedy.

The staff at Brooklyn Gear is really excited about the launch of this new guitar line and our new headstock design.

Brooklyn Gear will not be making any Bass Guitars and will solely only work with Ken Smith
for bass instruments.

4. New Brooklyn Gear Drum Wallet. This new drum wallet will be a drum dampner that comes with a drum key that we plan to retail for $20. All the artists who tested the drum wallet that we had on our loaner DWDRUMS snare drum was amazed with how easy it was to put on, secure, use and carry.

Cora Dunham(Josh Dunham wife) of Prince was a lucky lady and was able to take one back with her to Vegas as they prepare for the Prince Half Time Show for the Superbowl on Feb 4th.

Photos of the drum wallet coming soon!

5. New Brooklyn Gear Leather Guitar Straps. These new leather designed guitar straps come from our great friends and designers Morning Breath. This team of designers have really cut loose and came up with some great looks.

Images to follow.
