2018 Ibanez Speculation Thread

[Jazz Ad]

It would certainly kill their sales. People don't buy expensive woods to have them covered in paint like entry range plywood.

 

[hypercarrots]

Would it kill Ibanez to have solid color, gloss finishes on their prestige line?

it's been done. no kill. no disassemble. no make dead.

Dont forget this beauty that is not available

One of my major pet peeves with Ibanez is the lack of colour choices. You can have any colour you want so long as it's black!

I wish the Sexy Iceman Bass will appear on 2018.

Yah! We don't want no Iceman. We want the sexy version!

It looks like it will be 34 or 35" scale; seems too short in pic to be 41.5".

More info about the upright (but as far as I can see no scale length)

 

[Root 5]

To accurately determine scale length: measure from the fretboard side of the nut to the top of the 12fret. Let's say it's 17 inches. Multiply 17 x 2 = scale length eg. 34"

pictures taken:

So, from right after the nut (on the fingerboard side) to the 12th fret, the length is 17 13/16 inch, so the low B scale length using this method is 35 10/16 or 35.625 inch.

And this is the length from right after the nut to the highest point on the saddle groove:

It's about 35 14/16 = 35.875 inch.

I didn’t forget it. I omitted it. BLZ is not a solid color.

 

[LostInSauce]

Who do I need to speak to at Ibanez so I can design their next bass guitar??

Got cha

Got cha

I don’t think I’ll ever forget that blue SR2500/SR2505

 

[MikeOnBass73]

I can’t see them not doing a 6. Who knows though.

I doubt it too.

 

[Bulldawg82]

I really would like to see a very dark/gothic 5 string Iceman.

No mention of the 6 string BTB33 or the AFR basses @Aidil mentioned earlier in the thread. Wonder if they'll show up in the US catalog.

possibly due to regional thing that Ibanez practices through out the years.

The info that I have on the 6 string BTB Volo is no more than what I had told before:
