Ernie Ball Music Man: New at NAMM 2024!

New finishes look much much better this year!

Thanks for posting this! Been looking forward to this for a while, personally nothing really intersts me but im glad they are mixing it up. If i had to pick one from this lineup:

The gold and white looks good but id like to see it with 4S with the smaller guard.
Black and gold looks way classier than the stealth black on black last year, but overall pretty tame.
Purple sunset is nice but not something id personally buy or would suit me.
Ocean sparkle is actually right up my alley, but the gold hardware kills it for me.
 
So glad I found a Raspberry burst last week (which ironically)...was built ON my birthday! That's pretty fun!..

The "jackpot" colour for 2024 is interesting - I wonder if it's close to Fenders Texas Tea? - which is a great colour. Nothing else really interests me - maybe something in the BFR will be coming up soon.
IMO, the pastel colours weren't their biggest sellers - only guessing that, as I could get ANY of those across Can/US even right now. I think many of their guitar colours are way nicer than the bass options. (esp the oxblood)..
