I predict a noteworthy increase in market share.

Wait, so those 5 strings are under 8 lbs as well? Def getting one if that's the case.

Headless basses there too.

Are those roasted maple?

 

[OMpZoNE]

are the 5string blue p-bass and the 5string blue j-bass on the right side of the picture named P5-S and V5-S? New shortscale models?

The website says under 8 lbs for 4-string models. Very cool.

I wonder what the spacing on the headless 5 and 6s are?

Must have read these forums and realized the only feature any cares about anymore is weight.

Andertons UK have them already listed for preorder.

Not convinced by the headless/multiscale one.
Tuners seems to go out of the body little to much to stand on the floor next to an amp.

35" scale for the low be, it may be a little longer but that's a matter of choice.

I am also not a great fan. Not just the tuners, I also think that the colors are a bit bland.

Yeah, don’t forget to bring a stand when you use that one.

35 inch for the B string is the same as the current five strings. So the choice between a standard neck and a multiscale here is more about the G string.

The new headless models seem to keep all the great features of the M5/M7 series while getting rid of one of the ugliest headstock designs in the history of electric basses. I might get one now.

I did not need to see that wall of basses , it makes me feel kind of.........you know G.A.S. AGAIN !

 

[jimmydean]

On second look , I want that Blue PB and that White JB.............

 

[Chrisk-K]

If only they could redesign the headstock…

That would have been cool, but it just says P5-5 and V7-5, as seen in @wintremute's NAMM thread.

thanks. To tell the truth, '5' is really similar as 'S', so I got wrong.
Hope there will be some shortscale models in the future.

You mean, other than the long existing U5?
