That's the one, but I'm not on face book! It must have leaked out into the ether now.

Lol - I had nearly said in my earlier post that this looked distinctly like something you'd had a hand in - I had gone along the line of logic, who would fancy an SR5 made to look like something you'd view in a Blackpool pleasure park mirror - I thought hmmm Grand Wazoo - but then I thought the colour choice would simply not be right.

but then I thought no - it's 1st March not 1st April - wrong month.

I'd like to see a Bongo!

Tell the truth, you got an email from Sterling Ball with the attachment inside... subject title : heads will roll.

It looks nice - and yeah, some bits will change after feedback from the show and fans etc.
Sure -terrible access to top frets -but it wouldn't be a proper take if you could noodle up to 24 with ease.

If it does get the combustion pricing it well sell like hotcakes.

Ime people who play thunder birds or SG basses are the least likely to embrace wonky wires, I know there will be some but not enough for a mass market approach, I suppose they are not a mass maker though.

The non issue that the fanned frets 'solve' is way down on the list of reasons I don't enjoy playing Gibson basses,lol.

Tell you what, if they do build this in China and sell at combustion prices, and tweak the design a little, this will be a huge hit for them. Look forward to checking it out at LBGS!

Id certainly be interested in trying a D-Bird. Also enjoyed the recent Sandberg Forty Eight. Nice take on a T Bird

The 48 looks great, if I was after a "rock" bass that's where I would start

D-bird lands and apparently although only a prototype at the moment the aim is to release it after tweeks at combustion level pricing!

Cripes that's absolutely bizarre - I wonder if they'll have a go at fan fret other famous basses ......... How about a danelectro donghorn - preferably with a Masonite body.

Or even a Daisy Dock bass in pink.

Pray do tell how Dingwall have defeated the force of gravity :)

I would imagine the fact that 2+2 headstock reducing the length of the neck would see a slight improvement in neck dive. I suppose the fanned frets and longer scale length may negate that though.
There are many other factors that would have an effect, of course
