Not a fan of the Dbird, but that one is schmick.

 

[johnsonabq]

Body style change too.

Yup. The DW curve on the backside. I like it. They should make that permanent.

 

[DeltaPhoenix]

I like that body, it has the DG preamp but no so much into the graphics. Hellboy is kind of a cool comic but not cool enough to be the paint job on a bass I own. If it was Star Wars I would probably be all in.

I never even heard of Hellboy, but I think it looks damn cool, and so do my three kids. That might be all the excuse I need to order one. Where are they made?

New bridge

I’d wager China. I don’t think many would pay $5g for that

 

[xnewyorka]

That is true. But if I sell another one first, and have an empty spot along the wall, I could see myself letting myself talk myself into it.

5. Lastly, do any of you with a SJ5, SP5, SJP5 or SPJ5 thinking of selling one in the next little while? If so, please PM me asap. I will likely get one of the ones available unless I find something I like better. Btw, I already reached out to Andy but he won't sell me his beautiful blue SJ5.

Ah, too bad you're looking for a 5--I'll be selling my stunning SJ4 soon and I'm also in Ottawa.

Totally dig the body! Totally dig the graphics! Totally dig that it's a 5er! Not totally digging the idea of an onboard distortion, but it's Darkglass, so it probably sounds decent, but I'd probably see if I could order it without the distortion circuit.

If I didn't already have 3 basses on order, I'd seriously consider this, UNLESS it is $5k and NOT Canadian. If I'm gonna spend that much, on one bass, it's gonna be a Z3, a US Spector(NS-2 or NS-5XL), or, maybe, a Fodera Emperor Standard.

That's just me, tho...

 

[deff]

The body and bridge changes look awesome. I like the DW reverse curve thing. If they made the Dbirds like this I'd be more inclined to get one. To me the Dbird is too close to the firebird design and yet is missing some of what I love about tbirds.

 

[TinyE]

That simple little change in shape made me really like this one. The matte black is cool too

 

[johnsonabq]

Also, notice the difference in the bottom horn allowing greater access to the upper frets. Nice. I really think @Sheldon D. should adopt this form for the Canadian D-birds (which I think this is) and allow for the addition of the DGTC as an option.

It's definitely a cool body shape. I think they'd sell more with alternate finishes...

No thank you.

This is a limited edition so if adopted as production, the current list of finishes would be there to choose from.

No thank you.

Fair enough. But are you saying no to this limited edition, the body style (with the DW curve and reshaped lower horn), D-birds in general, or my idea of adopting the body style as what the new Canadian D-birds should look like (with the various current finishes available) and the DGTC as an option?

I don’t think a Tone Capsule is going in this Hell Boy D Bird...

 

[FredeRICK]

Can we see some pictures?

I have to say, this is by far the prettiest guitar I've owned. Just wish it was a long scale with a slightly thicker neck.
