Namba Gear Introduces GoBoard Keyboard Gig Bags
September 2nd, 2010 categories: Namba Gear
The GoBoard 49 & GoBoard 61 MIDI Keyboard Controller Gig Bags offer the ultimate mobile protection for your controller and laptop computer. We were approached by musicians using keyboard controllers such as M-Audio’s Axiom49/61 or Novation’s SL49/61 mkII along with a laptop computer to see if we could provide an upgraded transportation solution to what was already on the market, and our designers admittedly went a little crazy making an insanely phenominal keyboard gig bag.
The GoBoard 49 & GoBoard 61 have many musician friendly details that separate them from the other solutions on the market. Lockable zippers for security, three pockets to hold your laptop, cables, audio device, external HD and more, plus a cover for these pockets for added security (and a great place to keep your charts). The bags are made of weather-resistant 1680D poly-nylon with rubber standoffs on bottom and back side, and your keyboard nestles into thick padding that provides just the right amount of pampering for your gear.

Manuel Munet was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico and began seeking out his musical roots during his younger years. He was influenced by a diversity of music genres, such as salsa, jazz, disco, rock and meringue, that later solidified Manny’s dedication to representing this full spectrum of musical styles.
After leaving college to follow his music-filled heart, Manny started dj-ing in different clubs in the Puerto Rico, and in 1982 got a big break at Club Bachelors next to his mentor and best friend DJ Pablo Flores. After that, the rest is history working at the best dance clubs in Puerto Rico. In 1987 he moved to Florida, where he became the most requested DJ in West Palm Beach and also working at an FM radio station bringing the best Latin music to the beaches. At present, Manny is dj-ing at Club La Zen in Port St. Lucie to a full house on Saturday nights, where he spins his own edits and remixes of Latin music.
DJ Manny also spins at special events, concerts and Latin festivals. Hear him live and you’ll understand how he conquered his home town with his unique style. DJ Manny is also the only Latin DJ sponsored by Stanton DJ products and System SCS3.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT YOUR NAMBA GEAR BAG?
I love my Namba Remix Bag because it is the most versatile bag on the market for DJ’s today. After carrying my setup in a regular backpack, I found the Lil Namba Remix thanks to DJ Techtools and I decided this was the bag for me. I can carry my laptop, headphones, midi controller, cables, etc. I don’t leave home without my Namba Remix bag; this is the most important for me because I’ve got my equipment protected.
I am the resident DJ of Club La Zen in Port St Lucie, FL. I work 4 nights a week and I gotta have my equipment well protected, and the Remix bag is so far the best bag for any Digital DJ… period. I am also sponsored by Stanton DJ’s products and the Namba Remix keeps my System 3 midi controller secure. Follow me on twitter at djmannymunet or go to www.clublazen.com. Future plans… keep spreading the word about the Lil Namba Remix Backpack. I love it!

Namba Gear Summer
July 20th, 2010 categories: Namba Gear
Your luggage will be arriving at carousel 8.
We’re in the middle of summer, it’s hot all across the United States, and from the lack of recent Namba Gear blog posts you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s not much going on. Nothing could be further from the truth.
To start with, we’ve been out of stock on some of your favorite Namba Gear products, to which we are sincerely sorry. But we have a full container coming to the States by the end of this month and another container arriving in Europe at the same time.
These shipments not only have our current products to restock, but the new Midnight Blue color for the Big Namba Studio Backpak, Lil Namba Remix Backpack and the Samba Personal Stash Bag. We’ll also be introducing three new products (more on that later).
We are also planning our visit to Atlantic City, NJ for the annual DJ Expo on August 16th. If you are there, be sure and stop by and say hi.
We’re also starting to plan a relocation of our offices from Los Angeles, CA to Portland, OR. I guess we got caught in LA traffic just one time too many. Our warehouse and fullfillment will remain in Los Angeles.
And maybe like you, the Namba crew has been doing a little summer gigging. We can only hope that your gigs are paying better than ours.
Be sure to hook up with us on Facebook and tell us about your Namba Gear, as we also have some interesting and very different content happening there.

Namba Gear Announces New Midnight Blue Studio & Remix Backpacks
June 28th, 2010 categories: Namba Gear
If you visited our booth at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim this past January, or are an alert reader of our blog, than you know that Namba Gear showed prototypes of our two high-performance backpacks in Midnight Blue with a bright Orange interior. The original thinking was that we would make this color a Limited Edition, but we have been encouraged by both our customers and our resellers to add this color to our line on a permanent basis.
We are in production now and the Midnight Blue Editions of the Big Namba Studio Backpack and the Lil Namba Remix Backpack will be available in both the United States and in Europe by the end of July. Let us know how you like these colors, or if you have any other ideas for color combinations.
