NAMM 2026 Recap

NAMM Show Recep

What a fun, inspiring NAMM Show it’s been. It was a joy to reconnect with longtime friends and meet new ones—and seeing what players are creating with our instruments always energizes us.

Those moments don’t just motivate us to build new instruments. They also spark ideas that, through ongoing collaboration and feedback from the community, often growing into designs we can’t wait to put into your hands.

This year, we debuted a newly designed booth that made it easy for players to explore our full lineup—and, just as importantly, gave everyone room to slow down and connect. With dedicated space to talk, listen, and take notes, the booth became a meeting point for our team, our artists, and the broader bass community to explore our lineup of Kingston and Handmade instruments.

That environment supported the vision we bring to NAMM every year: real collaboration between our company and the players who use our instruments. The conversations we had on the floor—about feel, tone, hardware, and the small details that matter—help shape what we build next. We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by, shared feedback, and helped turn the booth into a place where ideas could move from curiosity to inspiration.
