No new 6-string basses from ESP at NAMM?

Hey TBer's,

I just got finished going through some pics of ESP's new guitars announced at NAMM - some beautiful guitars, nice 4 and 5 string basses - but I don't see a SINGLE 6 string.

Did I miss them, or is ESP not doing any new 6's?

Sad. As soon as a popular bassist known for 6-Stringers shows an interest in signing with ESP, they'll make models with them in mind...

Sort of like how MusicMan created the Bongo 6 primarily to attract the attention of John Myung, whose birthday happens to be today.

Yeah, it really sucks. I love ESP 6 stringers and was so looking forward to what they were going to be revealing at NAMM, but there's absolutely no 6-string basses at all.

At least they finally came out with an unlined fretless. The ones they have now look awful with the exact same inlay work as the fretted ones.
