Nothing new on the production model side:

At the beginning of the video, AJ mentions that the CDE is "starting with the Stingray". So, maybe the Bongo will be next?

Sorry to have upset you. However, good news is that the green one is not called lime green but "mantis green". Any better? 😉 from 1:35

Spector fans, in case you have not seen it over at No Treble check this out: "The Spector custom shop team was on hand with some fine examples of their work. They also brought some prototypes for Doug Wimbish signature basses. The four and five-string models will be replicas of Wimbish’s own basses that he had customized by Stuart Spector many years ago. They have some unique features including an unusual volute shape, a super thin neck, and hot pickups." https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2024/01/28/namm-2024-bass-gear-day-3/

Looks like they have something to tempt you after all: 3 new colours for the Bongo: lime green (don't know which fancy name EBMM will give it) with maple fretboard, blood orange (with rosewood fingerboard) and one in satin grey (called titan grey) New features: maple fretboard on the lime coloured one (first time ever, according to AJ), oil and wax finish, and stainless steel frets 2 new Darkray colours too: dark rainbow and gold bar. from 08:50:

The bass has quite a nice shade of deep purple 😄

That's a Joe Dart I.

Nope, never seen one in a store, but you can order one directly from EBMM via their vault: https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-joe-dart-ii.html Costs are (all taxes, duties and shipping costs included):

Checked the Reverb ad, sold in less than 18hrs and got two offers. Cool stuff. I really should have sold it for way more 😉

I think that's still a fair price. Congrats to whoever got it, maybe someone from here?

Man, I think I better just stick to my Spectors 🙂

Back in October, BassBros sold it very quickly too, one or two days, as far as I remember. Maybe the price was too low. I think it was £1k.

Agree, reminds me a bit of the "artist" who was asked to design a statue of Ronaldo and came up with this:

Exactly. I got the bass from the Bass Hunter in Japan. So far, he managed to find "one" replacement knob. I asked him to keep on looking for a second one and then send me both together to save postage costs. Well, I don't need them anymore but whoever buys the BB, now you know that you only need to find one 🙂 Please feel free to write to Danny if you want the knob. I paid for it (¥2,154, March this year) and I am happy to donate it to the new owner of my BB. Merry Christmas 🎄

Can't be! Obviously, Alan Rickman would have played a Rickenbacker. Ok, probably wise for me to leave this thread now 🙂

Go for it. It is a great bass. You can haggle a bit too: The knobs are not the original ones!

Speaking of Polish prog, one of my favs:
