[lemmywinks]

Thomann have the 5 strings up at £949 for plain colours and £977 for the Black Cherry and Black Stain, so £977 then as Cherry is the best colour.

I'm not usually a fan of quilted tops, but they do look good on more modern shaped basses. Still, I think it's the white one for me - it's pure Mike Starr and looks like his Euro sig.

We should see some slightly cheaper prices here between Andertons, Bass Direct, GuitarGuitar and a few others....

Yep coming in sub £900 is a sweet point for sure. I think these will be big sellers.....

Although I won't be joining the queue to buy one, this sort of product is exactly why Spector appears to be going from strength to strength. And to reference another thread, G&L needs to have a look at what Korg has enabled Spector to do.

That's a US custom shop model too.

Thanks for pointing this out to me cetera. Do you think they will have an Icon neck through with EMGs next?

I'm waiting on an update as to any other future releases, but in all honesty I don't see why they would as it would muddy the waters with the Euro series.

 

It make more sense to me to have three distinct ranges and price points.... Far East bolt-on basses, through neck Euro basses and custom shop USA basses.

Who wrote the script... 'comfortability'...? It's not even a word. Come on, marketing department at Korg.... that's just Buzzword Bingo.
