2018 Ibanez Speculation Thread

[Solarmist]

I check their website almost daily for the "New for 2018" basses, but I think it will coincide with the NAMM show.

From an Ibanez dealer:

"The go live date is early this year, 1/10, for everything but the limiteds and show specials, and a couple others."

Found this on the Ibanez Facebook page, Ibanez SR870 has Bartolini BH2 pickups, Newly designed B500 bridge with adjustable string spacing, Jatoba/Walnut 5pc Neck, Glossed flame maple top, mohogany body with walnut core, Ibanez 3band EQ w/ mid freq switch, and neck joint truss rod adjustment.

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

I talked to my local dealer on Saturday, I want one, it's 34" scale. I play upright but this will be great when I don't have room for the acoustic or playing a gig where I don't want to hassle with hauling the big boy.

I hope that Ibanez can start to phase out their barrel jacks for better output jacks

Still hoping for a custom shop available to the public!

I'd like to see the Lakland styled Roadgear model from a few years ago come back. 4 & 5 string models, single H, H/H, J/H, and maybe even a P/J, with a more early Music Man style preamp.

But I doubt that will ever happen.

So tomorrow then ...

They had one if you could call it that back in early 90s offering maple or rosewood fretboards on some models.

Hopefully Ibanez will make a bass that doesn't sound, well, like an Ibanez. They all sound the same!

I own 4 Ibanez basses and they sound totally different. Their catalog is pretty diverse you know.

That is a good idea.

I saw that too. Nice one.

I am not seeing any more Artcores on the US site. Weird.

Didn't someone say they were reissuing the AFR / Affirma line, or a variation on it? Did I miss something? Hallucinate it?
