Do you know when these basses are out?

 

[Lammchop93]

No 5 strings?

 

[Higgins666]

Going by last year, I'd say about September, maybe earlier if we're lucky. Already got a price (rough USA) on the Eric Bass sig.

I'm supprised aswell at the lack of 5ers in there.

I gotta give em credit for showing a little imagination and breaking from the P bass, J bass mold! I think they're actually pretty good looking in an odd way. (not a fan of the explorer and flying v stuff, but thats me)

Its cool that Eric Bass has a signature model. Very down to earth local guy that got hooked up with a big national touring band. One of the nicer guys you'll ever run into, and actually gives free youtube lessons on how to play the bass lines from some of their songs.

+1 although those head stocks on the first three are kinda fugly . . .

How much for the Hillsboro?

How much for the Hillsboro?

The Eric Bass Hillsboro looks to be about $499, & the Jazz/Single Hillsboro are probs abit cheaper, or double (depending on if they're USA or not)

 

[Ronbeast]

I see a little bit of G&L in the first three headstocks.I personally like these new designs.Hopefully I get to try one at some point.

 

[somegeezer]

I think they all look as ugly as ugly could be.

 

[Sbociol]

The USA Spire is definitely interesting,reminds me of a B.C. Rich Mockinbird a bit...wonder if they plan to release any of those as a 5er.

 

[Essen]

That red Usa Spire was just beatiful, and I've never liked their design before!

At least it's an affordable sig model. I'm tired of $1500 sigs.

I think the headstocks are OK, better than those URSA headstocks...

I kind of like the first 3, especially the black one, Eric Bass (is that his real name....seriously?). And it has an Ash body....perfect.

But ever since they dumped the Sledgehammer, I'm a bit miffed....but thinking about it, may have been a legal issue...

yeah its his real name, lol. pronounced like the fish though.

 

[Thunder_Fingers]

Oooh, That USA Spire bass is nice! Certainly something I could have used!

 

[Electra Player]

Definitely love the Spire.
Like a Mockingbird but with a bit more flash to the body shape.

Hope it sounds good as it looks.

 

[WhiteKong]

dean, with now with even more over the top graphics for the "punx"

 

[TheWolf]

Thanks for the info...SubscibeD

 

[Metal Mitch]

Wow, the Demonator now available in Overkill green!!!



Wonder why they went back to the tune-o-matic bridge on the std model. ??

I like that Spire though.
