[j-raj]

wish I could be there this year... I'll have to catch up with everybody at the Nashville NAMM.

 

[fullrangebass]

Dingwall will debut the Z3 model

 

[BassmanDk]

It is a five string sterling, do a search, pictures have been posted. It has the four string pickguard

Wow the 4string pickguard on a 5str.?
These guys are geniuses. How do they come up with it?
Ill guess everybody wants this bass? i mean you get another pickguard on it!!!!

[tremor100]

warwick is coming out with a 6 string vette, the nobby (original warwick headlessbass similar to a steinberger), a new hallow body called the star bass that looks pretty impressive, and i think one other thing invilving a streamer. Go to Warwick.de and check out the forums for pics. They are also discontinuing bassically all thier set neck basses.

 

[superflybass]

cali here I come cant wait to see some killer basses

 

[cnltb]

subscribed. i'd love to hear what fender and boutique jazz makers (nordstrand, lull, alleva, etc.) are putting out this year.

...more jazzbasses perhaps?

 

[Jim Carr]

I hope Fender will introduce some new P-basses. A classic 60s Precision would be really cool.

+1 Oh Yeah!

I envision a C neck, slab rosewood fb, and a '63 vibe....sigh. Prayer might help....

 

[waseok]

EBMM will have the 6-string Bongo and 5-string Sterling...

Why some companies think that they make a really "wow" thing, by adding one string?

At least that's better than just doing another fender copy with a new name

really? i knew about the new models but im pretty partial to some of the set neck stuff!

There's two ways to "wow" folks... either by coming out with something innovative, or by coming out with something a lot of people have wanted for a long time. This is just a case of the latter.

Thing is, I applaud a company that (at least finally) responds to what their customers want instead of simply dictating what their customers should want.

Dingwall is also planning an entry level version of the afterburner, with less custom features:

I love my Afterburner but when I bought it it was right at the top end of what I'm willing to pay for a solid body bass. Thi looks to be an inexpesive way to try out fanned frets

I'm crossing my fingers for a 6 string.

Variax Bass = Not a real instrument.
