Anybody notice this page?
Clearly a 5 string Talman headstock at the top, as well as an upscale talman with an ash body and what looks like a big single. Hoping these arent just one offs.

I was thinking of the BTB-775, with the poplar burl top and Bartolini pickups. I guess my brain rounded the number up to 800...
Anyway, that one is going away now, too, so the only BTB that has any kind of color to it is the 1600 series... which costs almost as much as its model number!
Not necessarily, we haven't seen the U.S. catalog yet and it usually has more offerings than the European catalog. I bet by the end of the week the U.S. site will be updated once NAMM starts or is over.
Agreed on the SRX necks. I have the 400 and it's one of the most comfortable necks I've played. The typical Ibanez/SR necks are just to thin for me, and with the rounder profile it's a pleasure to play.
It would be nice to see something different this year. A take on the SRX, SRP, VW1 would be cool as well. Better yet I would love to see a re-issue of the old musicman style.
The single-cut BTB comes in a 6-string, so if the SRSC805 sells reasonably well, I wouldn't be surprised to see an SRSC806.
There are some higher-resolution images posted by Bass Player. Ibanez also showed what looks like a Premium SR 4-string with a dark body and a light top. Does anybody have any information on that model?
I'm really interested in the SRSC805, but I'm not sure about the 18-mm string spacing. They BTB single-cut has a 19-mm spacing, so it seems like using the 16.5-mm spacing from the other SR 5-strings would have made sense.
I know this is TalkBass but that 7 string guitar with the green blue top has me drooldrool
Here's the better pic of the 2 possible new TMB's. I didn't see any 5 stringers unfortunately.
Yeah, I see you have a couple of Mikros and a Jag SS, so the TMB30 seems like it would be of interest to you. It has the same electronics as the TMB100, so I imagine it will be priced just like it (199 dollars in the US).
I was interested in the TMB 300. I already have a couple P/Js, and the 300 offered a little something different
AFAIK, the 300 is still being made, but now you may have to choose between that and this new P/Soap model.
It's seem like Ibanez went overkill with the SR's in Europe. I hope they don't give the ATK the shaft for 2016. I'm a bit worried they only display one finish in a four string.

That natural one has the Nordstrand pups like the SR650 and SR750s.... that's very interesting. IMHO
Me too. I actually prefer 18mm string spacing. It what my SRX705 has just wish it was a little wider at the nut. So the SRSC will depend on the spacing at the nut for me. The scale length should be fine too. Love they have premium everything but went with the MK1 Barts. Not terrible pickups but don't seem to match the quality of the bass.
Did you get a good look at the SR 4-string with a light top, dark body, and gold tuners? Do you have any info on that model?
so any wonder if the humbucking means coils in parallel, single means single coils, but what is extra low end single coild? can't be series now can it be? or maybe two single coils from each pickup get wired in series on that mode?
A 3-way power tap system on the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ creates 3 tonal options; Humbucking, Single coil, and Low-end enhanced single coil

STOP THE PRESSES!
...is that a set of Nordstrands I see in a Talman bass?!?!?
If it comes in at least one attractive color, I am SOOO getting one!
It would be even cooler if they made one with a "Big Man" bridge pickup, just sayin'!
