Whoa!!! RockBass StarBass???
 

Holy crap! I know what my next purchase is going to be ( daphne blue 5-string)! Is it ok for me to post a notreble link here.....:hiding:
Anyway, do we have an ETA as far as availability? I hollered at Andy Irvine about them but he's a very busy man these days.

They look pretty cool, don't they?

Don't worry. Someone will be back manning these threads as soon as the hectic NAMM schedule eases off.

And available left handed too!

It's a rosewood FB with nickelsilver frets coming from China? The ones from Korea from 2012 and before are wenge/brass and 34" scale 4-string. I have a 4 string from June 2012 ProSeries Korea and it is a really nice instrument. If it matters whether you want wenge over rosewood you can probably find one of the "older" ones from eBay. I know you said you want a 5 string so scale length won't change, but the FB/fret option is different. Just FYI and I imagine some people will prefer rosewood and nickel medium scale 4 string anyway! Great Great Bass, really liking it so far.

I was told April for the new models as far as an ETA.

Awesome news! Hopefully the approaching Mardi Gras and Superbowl season will put some extra cash in my pockets for one of these babies.

That Daphne blue one is gorgeous. I saw a pic of one at NAMM and immediately wanted it. :)

ohhhhhhh, that gives me GAS pains. What's $1699 msrp look like on the street?

Nice, but from the name I was hoping for a Bootsy bass...

The Rockbass Star Bass was a hit at NAMM 2013! They should be available in April, and we feel they represent an incredible value, with superb quality! Please let me know if you've got any questions. Thanks!

I just hope they're priced reasonably. A Rockbass shouldn't be priced much over $500, IMO.
