What an absolute mess of a launch. 

Definitely not for me. I think the Sire basses look much nicer.

Disappointing. 

The worst logo I've ever seen. 

The DG high gain just sounds like a generic guitar in metal to me. 

I'd use the Markbass with a VT pedal and sell the DG... Keep the other one. 

Wayyyyy too expensive.

LOVELY!

God that guys demos winds me up.

Just FYI - Andertons have a habit of putting quite optimistic dates on their ETAs....unless they have changed significantly it is also a pain to just put down a deposit. I mean, who wants £1000+ tied up in something that is late by a few months....

Most of the 'signature' models by Musicman (guitar side) are extremely unique, and are not pre-existing designs. Even the artist versions of say the Stingray guitar have significant changes.

Examples:

 - Albert Lee SSS/HH,

 - St Vincent - HH or Mini HHH.

Putting Epiphone prices to shame!

There are a lot of things that I like about this bass however the misaligned bridge pick up would drive me mental...

It is definitely intentional.

I definitely don't have a desire for a Sadowsky as much as I used to. 

It's a really bizarre arrangement.

My brother told me it's cheaper to buy a Harley Benton guitar cab and remove the Celestron drivers than buy the same speakers individually...

Yes it's odd isn't it!

More money, but a more exclusive model:

I put Sadowsky up there as top line P and J basses, with exceptional QC and modern fit and finish.

Maybe these should be noted as prototypes....because they don't look finished to me.

It's like a PRS in a bass. Too much for me.

Kinda wish I kept my GP12 SMX 400 head or whatever the model name was. Bought new from Electro music. Once Trace sent me some different fuses it NEVER missed a beat. NEVER.

I would have liked to have kept it for the fact it was so loud and reliable, and had a great clean clear tone. However, the Genz Shuttlemax 9.2 I have does basically the same so it had to go. Shame. 

Clear guard looks awesome!

What a brand name...and the logo. Why?! 

I never realised they stopped making H and HS Bongos.
