He's holding one!

I just realised two more things:
1. Those are black hipshot tuners, so if history is an indicator at all, they are not licensed, but US-made.
2. There’s a badge at the back of the headstock.

Maybe these are the first models of a domestic-but-not-custom line of basses?

Unless they’ve seriously expanded their operations I don’t see how that would be possible.

Are you all insane?

Y tuners!!!!

I’m really scratching my head over here, too. It’s going to be an interesting weekend!

I'll be needing a full spec list and price my man

 

[Nuage420]

Please please please tell me they will have a maple fretboard or matching headstock available.

 

[DeltaPhoenix]

Are they made in China or Korea?

 

[Poobini]

oh baby, fingers crossed they're passive

 

[Paajanenae]

Three pots and an output jack tells me they are

Well, all this conversation made me remember I had a spare set of Hipshot clovers in my parts drawer, so I just gave it a shot. What do you think? Y or Clover?

I think I am even on either Y verses clovers. I would normally say clovers for Fender style designs, but with that blackened headstock, I think both suit it well.

Black headstock with black keys is sweet. With the headstock carve, the Y keys appeal to me much more than the clovers.
