2019 Namm rumours

[nevusofota]

This Bogner will not be at NAMM…
From what I have been told it will be late spring
… Like April or May

That must be for the US as it's already available in European music stores. Those pics are from a music store in, I believe, Sweden. It apparently was on the floor for customers to play.

From what I have been told, ( by Bogner ) a couple of these protos were built for testing and the pictures should not have got on the Internet and no, they are not for sale, anywhere…
Hopefully we will see a production model in the late spring, it will definitely not be at NAMM,

I'm speculating then that the prototype made it to a store but wasn't for sale. You can see in the first pic that the amp is not in a Bogner testing facility or manufacturing shop but definitely in a store. You can also see in the pic the available merchandise in the background as well as multiple bystanders (I doubt they're Bogner's amp builders/testers). Unless of course Bogner Europe does their testing in stores? Plus, the guy that took the pics is a regular dude on the Bogner FB page and does not work for Bogner. He heard of the amp being in a particular store that was a bit of a drive for him. He wasn't able to get out there to play it for over a week (after the holiday's). Bogner's probably realizing now that they have no control over these amps that are manufactured in Europe before they're released (like they do when they're built in California).

Yeah, I was kinda expecting Bogner to not be at NAMM as he hasn't been there for years.

I know… I hear you brother, it’s all very strange, how it made its way into a music store… but Joe at Bogner was very specific in saying that this was not in production as of yet, and he was very frustrated about the whole thing and the pictures and all the rest of it… I got the impression that someone is in big trouble for having that amplifier in public territory…
Definitely not even close to being ready for NAMM

I saw a post on facebook where George Lynch was asked what he has going on this year and he said "KXM3, The end:Machine" but he also said DIRTY SHIRLEY ... so I wonder if he is getting a sig Friedman

Yes! Yet another signature amp that he will NOT play live!

Yep so true… Best Tone I ever heard from George was Lynch Mob in 1992 (tour) when he was using Bogner Ecstasy 100B, it was one of the three Proto types that ReB Beach, the Scorpions and George all borrowed.
I remember asking his tech after the show, what the heck he was using and I thought he said ‘a hand made Booger proto head’ - I was deaf after standing in front of George’s cabinets for two hours…
The next day I was calling all the music stores asking about BOOger amplifiers…
I finally got Joey Brasler at ‘make’n music’ on the phone ... he laughed at what I was saying and told me all about the new Bogner ecstasy 100B head, I ordered one that day for $2250 and I got number 15…

I’m eagerly awaiting more details on the Boss waza tube amp expander

I remember talking with Reb at a Detroit guitar show about that amp. He said it sounded best stood up on it's end!

Gotta love George. Playing a Friedman with a Randall shirt on. Got all of his bases covered. LOL. You have probably seen this one......

Love the playing of the man, regardless! (tried posting the vid but the string on the site is not working correctly....)

Damn, would be nice to hear him playing that with the gain at noon-2 o'clock.
