Episode 104 covers some gear industry news this week as Chase Bliss Pedals decides to go direct only for sales. We discuss the move and share how we really see both sides, and how well Chase Bliss handled the communication. We speculate if more builders will go direct or how that will effect things like the NAMM show down the road.
We also share some new gear acquisitions and some stories of recent trips out of country and in the jungles of Hawaii. Find out what exactly happened by listening to the show!
