For four days last week Anaheim\u2019s Convention Center was packed with its fair share of mullets, black leather, and the newest and most innovative music equipment ready to hit the market in 2012.<\/p>\n

The National Association of Music Merchant\u2019s (NAMM) trade show aims to promote music-making for people of all ages, but with appearances by Anthrax, Testament, Alice in Chains, Megadeth, and Slayer, the annual event took a noticeable dip towards the heavier side.<\/p>\n

Nearly a hundred thousand attendees were on hand to explore the over fourteen hundred exhibitors and check out the many jam sessions by everyone from the monsters of heavy metal to a former Presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

For everyone that wasn\u2019t in attendance we bring you the ten most interesting bass displays from the convention center\u2019s floor.<\/p>\n

Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 - $499<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The Tone Hammer 350 packs the same sound that had Premier Guitar Magazine saying the Tone Hammer 350 \u201coutrivals the many mini-amps on the market\u201d into an even smaller more compact design. A pound-for-pound bruiser of an amp, the lightweight 3 lbs. 350 comes with an enormous sound but without the enormous aggravation of lugging around a large unit.<\/p>\n

The minature version of the PolyTune polyphonic tuner has arrived at NAMM with the PolyTune Mini. With the ability to tune your strings simultaneously or seperately, the PolyTune Mini automatically tunes in polyphonic mode or chromatic mode, depending on whether you strum all your strings at once or individually. The bright LED display is clear and makes it easy to read.<\/p>\n
