Tokyo here we come!!!

We recently celebrated our 3 year birthday (THANK YOU!!!), and in the short 3 years that we've been at this the connections to Tokyo have been growing strong. With flagship stores in Japan now carrying MONO gear, and some amazing players in Tokyo popping up on our radar, we figured it was time to head out there and dish out some hi-fives. We'll give you some highlights here over the next few days so stay tuned...

Teenage Engineering's OP-1

So when we're not obsessively making new gear, we are obsessing over someone else's. Today the fixation is on the soon-to-be-released OP-1 by Teenage Engineering

Here's what it looks like:


And here's what it does:


I know a certain band that would really dig this.

Jimmy Fallon / Roots cameo

Check out the GS1 Betty strap making a cameo in this impromptu Roots clip filmed on the set of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

If you're wondering what kind of bass that is hanging on our GS1, it's a custom Callowhill made just for Owen himself.

All hail the greatest band in late night.

UK Producer Bag review!

Another great review from one of the leading gear reviewers in the UK! FutureMusic Magazine got their hands on the Producer Bag and here's what they have to say:

"...this bag has happily taken me all over the world and protected my laptop and gadgets in a variety of weather situations. Definitely one of the best messenger bags I've ever had the pleasure of jetting with."

UK players, hit up Madison & Fifth here to get yours!

UK says "yes"

UK's Guitar & Bass Magazine just printed a great review of the M80 single and dual cases. We got a 94% out of 100. Ok, we'll take that. Among our favorite excerpts:

"The really impressive thing is the ratio of protection to weight."

"Excellent protection in a light, super-durable package."

"Highly recommended."

UK players, hit up Madison & Fifth to gear up! Drummers, you can hit up The Music Shipping Co.
Cheers.

MONOplayer sightings: ?uestlove

Players, the weekend is upon us. This was a big week for us. We're on the verge of our 2010 product launch and all hands are on deck. This is going to be a good one! We also got to hang with one of our idols this week (more on that later). And let's cap it off with a MONOplayer sighting of Mr ?uestlove (or maybe Dr ?uestlove) and XXL's Elliott Wilson straddling the almighty 365 DJ pack.

Thanks to all of you for spreading the love!
Go Play.
