But not height adjustable by the looki of it? What's the gap between the ramp and the strings?

Always struggled with 'stipend' as a term... Getting back to CS, he's a walking cathedral... Bass pedals on the sub-octaves, 16th notes in the tenor and wonderful alto in the backing vocals. I really miss him and his music.

Oh dear Mikey... bad QA there. So EHB'ers please can you advise about the ramp. The pics I've seen suggest that it's a non-adjustable block? Can you raise the height?

I find that vid pretty hard to watch.

Looks better in the flesh

New vid on the 2022 EHBs

Not sure Jeff is great salesman but he's a hell of a bass player - Bruford and Allan Holdsworth's 'Road Games' two highlights... I still lust after his Peavey Palladium bass... Once on sale at the Bass Centre for £299! Gah! missed a bargain! Saw him play his legendary precision with John McLaughlin at the Cambridge Corn Exchange. Great show.

Hmm pretty sure this catalogue is the most comprehensive bass portfolio any manufacturer has ever offered - period.

Some vids up:

I wonder what these sound like vs. the Nords and Barts in the other EHB models?

Yes - Mikey D's covered them here:

Thanks for the links Mikey. I've been hoping for new finishes on the EHBs. Here's a deep dive on the other new models: https://www.guitarworld.com/news/ibanez-sr-standard-sr-premium-btb-models

So I'll bite in the spirit of the question, i.e. albums where I went crikey!... from bass perspective: Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, 'Flight of the Cosmic Hippo' Jaco - eponymous, Joni & WR +1 for Bruford Yes - all 70's albums Return to Forever, 'Romantic Warrior' Stanley, 'School Days' UK - eponymous Rush - 'Permanent Waves' & 'Moving Pictures' Mark King, 'Influences' Steve Khan, 'Modern Times' w/ Anthony Jackson Brand X, 'Masques' There you go... some crackers in there.
