What new gear should be produced?

[dudewheresmybass]

I'd love to see a far east produced 'official' Ricky

a small footprint reissue of the Ibanez Weeping Demon wah.

BC Rich producing quality passive basses again

All Fender guitars and basses with an indestructible finish that cannot be relic'd. Its an unacceptable fashion that must be stopped.

Fender Artex models?

[AndyTravis]

A lovely (accurate) set of reissue basses from Gibson…

 

Like meticulously accurate, not the “it’s almost right…but…” that they seem to do.

 

A Yamaha BB3000 reissue 

[Stub Mandrel]

A 500W version of the Joyo BantAmp BadASS.

Ooooh, also, I want a Darkglass Anagram XL. Three footswitches isn't enough for me. I want 6 footswitches with 6 scenes per preset, plus up/down footswitches, and either an integrated expression pedal with toe switch or the ability to easily map one in MIDI as volume and then "other" (wah, delay time, etc.) assignment. 

[Steve Browning]

Mesa 1x15 combo, with a valve pre and the D350 power stage. Also add the Walkabout radiator. 

[Linus27]

I'm gonna sound like a broken record but here goes. I'd like Fender US to make an unlined fretless passive Jazz and Precision as part of their American Vintage range. The Jazz would have an unlined rosewood fretboard and be available in vintage white or natural and the Precision would have an Ash body, be natural with an unlined fretless maple board.

 

I would also like somebody to make a compact lightweight combo that is around 300w-350w, with 2x8" speakers and under £500. A bit like the MarkBass Minimark but more powerful and cheaper.

[Greg Edwards69]

A fender Aerodyne with 21 frets

 

A less expensive, far east, mass produced Mike Lull range of basses. I’d love of of those IMA basses with the t’bird pickups but I’ll never be able to save the necessary GAS tokens. 

[Lozz196]

Ashdown to make a combo that rivals the Fender Rumble 500 & 800, both in power and size/weight.

[tauzero]

Either Tonelib or Zoom to get their arses into gear and produce Windows and Android editors for the more recent Zoom models - the MS-Plus range, the B2-4, and I think the B6 too.

[BassAdder60]

Trace Elliot 500w Head

 

Trace Elliot affordable 210 or 212 bass cabs light weight

Surely it's only a matter of time before Gibson start giving their bass back catalogue the same Custom Shop/Murphy Labs treatment that they seem to be focusing on with their guitar range.

 

Of course if it does happen it won't be cheap.

[MichaelDean]

All this talk of Gibson has got me thinking about Epiphone taking some risks. They could do some multiscale 4/5 string RD Artist basses with some weird electronics.

Incredible isn't it? Imagine paying more for a brand new vehicle that's been dented and scuffed from the factory (for example) 😊

Land rover fans would.

A fender Mexican production jazz bass V based on the Roscoe beck, with the Same pickup configuration, asymmetric neck.

Do Fender still make basses in Japan? If not, they should so we can have better quality than US instruments for lower prices

They just want the full expedition kit and massive off road tyres

[2pods]

Ibanez to resurrect the small bodied SGR800 (I think that was the one I had), with it's non flared fingerboard, and U Shaped neck.

Was that the one with PJ pickups? Really nice bass, I bought one but had to send it back because the preamp was dying 

[Bolo]

Mesa flip top counterpart. All the Mesa tube goodness in a studio/small room format.
