I look forward to the multi-page discussion about how the Specials are too expensive/reasonable value vs other builders such as Sadowsky, Fodera and the like 😂 I don't doubt the quality of the Sterling range, but everyone seems to be reaching for the top limit. Where's the fun in that 😒

Shortly to be followed by the Ernie Ball Sterling Session Series by Sterling by Musicman
-
Bass The World - Harley Benton Signature Bass.

Would seem to be a swing and a miss if they somehow didn't have it ready for NAMM after it being "announced" last year -
Yamaha turning up to NAMM with no new basses is quite the flex...
-
-
Basically my situation too. Bae money for any of the shiny new stuff, still nice to look 😂
-
Weird that the basses didn't get the redesign that the guitar range got. New colours look great. Although they've done that annoying thing of having the colour on a 4 string model I'd want on the 5 string 😅
-
New MTD Kingston lineup (just new finishes and maybe roasted maple necks?)
-
Conveniently enough, it's also the 50th anniversary of the Corvette Stingray. Missed a trick there.
-
It could just be a bit of an illusion, but is the Sona slightly multiscale?
-
Just to bump this to the top for others to see and add to! Any other releases we've missed?
-
These look stunning! Very much aiming at the Rob Allen style of bass. RRP of around €3,500.
-
Nice! Many happy returns! I tried one in a shop which was a bit of a lemon (either battery or bad wiring) so I can't give much input. How's the balance? On the knee it felt a bit headstock heavy due to tiny body and larger headstock.

Price Drop - £230 or £250 delivered sound fair? -
Looks a great starting point - for me I'd go for a L-1000 route. Whilst you have 2 pickups, you can still pickup an Tribute L-2000, so you'd be building a budget L-1000 which you cant get. And if you want to offload that spare pickup - I might be interested 😂

Have to say @skelf is doing some great work with these new body shapes. Sure it plays as good as it looks!

Ooops! Didn't see that thread after a quick look. Good spot from you though!
-
A smaller, simpler version of the GX series. Like the form factor a lot. https://www.boss.info/us/products/gx-1b/
-
But the Nords are in the Blue finish below it? The SR500N-MAM
-
Some new models/finishes for the SR range - have to say the SR500 finishes look good. Just a shame you can't have the Nordstrands in the Mahogany finish.
-
Or Markbass. Truth is, it is very hard to design a headstock that isn't a Fender style or one that most think is awful.
-
Maybe not overly helpful, but would switching out the tuners for ultralights on one not get you close to saving that 0.5kg?
-
Adding photos to show back and tiny knocks on the front.
-
So three different model numbers - but they are all basically the same price. That's weird.
-
I see they didn't have the budget for stacked knobs.... I don't hate it, but 6 knobs and a switch is a lot...
