Cool. Good to see companies listening and giving their fans what they want.

Just watched a video on YT where the Reverend guys state that the Triad now comes with a push-pull knob for all three pickups, as well as neck and bridge. Might have been tempted by this but not crazy about the new colours for the four string.

Lots of new colours announced today to coincide with NAMM.

'Review' video up of the Greg Norton signature. Definitely not one of my favourite YT bassists...seems to have a knack for making every bass sound exactly the same. Probably a very talented player, but why can't reviewers play riffs/melodies/songs we know?!

You only live once....go for it!

Some new colours & styles announced today...rainbow sparkle DP and Merc 4 and 5 string in blackout.

Could be, but enjoy the new bass no matter what it's made out of 😎.

Lovely bass. Looks great in the video. If you can access Fender Japan's site. these are currently available as part of their MIJ Heritage Series.

Nah...tried that in the past. Didn't work for me.

I did buy that but returned it due to the lack of a forearm contour. It sounded great and the colour looked amazing. Was really sorry to part with it but I knew from previous experience, it would be uncomfortable for me to play.

Must be a new signature prototype - Greg Norton, formerly of Husher Du:

This was announced today too:

Just to add to the colour complexity, my Fender Japan Tomomi jazz is trans fiesta red. I love the colour! As Wavemaker explained above, trying to accurately capture this colour is almost impossible.

Saw Nine Inch Nails in Dublin last night. Really impressive show in every way, which we have come to expect from Trent Reznor. I particularly appreciated the fact that there was a band media blackout from January when the tour was announced. It felt like pre-internet days and there was a real sense of anticipation. I only took a few photos, preferring to enjoy the show. There are dozens of videos and reviews up now, so there are spoilers, but for anyone going to Manchester or London, you are in a for a treat.
