WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT YOUR NAMBA GEAR BAG?
“What I like best about my Namba gear bag, is that I can carry large as well as small gear in an organized and compact way. This was best demonstrated a few weeks ago during my trip to Cannes , France for the MIDEM conference (pictured here). I used my Big Namba Studio Backpack everyday while attending the conference to carry business cards, hard drives, my laptop, headphones, and storage for stuff given to me at the conference. I was even able to store my external cd/dvd burner in my bag (with everything else), this allowed me to make customized cd’s or dvd’s in my hotel each night before returning to the 4 day conference. Being able to showcase my music and business with on-the-spot listening session from my iPod or laptop, to handing out business and promo cards, helped make a very successful MIDEM conference for me. Thanx NAMBA!”
