Ooh lovely! Nice colour too.

But all 20 frets?

Oh! Jon sets up my Bernie wonderfully. Two great luthiers. The OP's 'P' looks great! Would love to hear it.

The Bass Centre was the manifestation of the 80s being the decade of bass and the explosion in manufacturers, especially in the UK, spurred on by post-Jaco era Mark King, Mick Karn, Pino infiltration of the pop music of the day. Those adds in the free Making Music paper for Status and Trace Elliot were something else.

And multi-scale!

EHBs are now in their fifth year so are reasonably well-established. And as you say, Ibanez are tinkering all the time. The EHBs have had different pick-ups, finishes, scale lengths and fanned frets.

Yep, new for this year although only in a five so far. If they do well, no doubt a four and a six will come along.

Well this is timely given our discussion and the chap demos that lovely pink coral one I posted earlier:

Yes! They caught my eye too - beautiful. Just to point out these ones are built in Japan under licence, not the New York Shop like John Patitucci's. I think Hadrien Feraud endorses these Japanese ones though and if they're good enough for him...

Three new models announced... this my favourite wood top and Fishman pickups. Others are here - scroll down to the basses: https://www.ibanez.com/usa/news/detail/20241119125609.html

Oh man what a truly awful artifact of 80s music education. A chunk of time up front with an unhelpful, overly long gear overview, including a bass from John Buscarino he's never played but, 'he's planning to.' He didn't. Irrelevant guest stars - learn bass from the baddy in Robocop!? Rowdy Roddy Peeper yelling his shtick at you. Oh God... Still Frank Gambale and Vinnie Colaiuta are killing in the intro.

Richard Bona making a beautiful sound here with a Sei in the Bass Gallery. Not sure it's his, probably just stock. (Ignore the Fodera in the thumbnail.)

Depends what you mean by, 'round'? Some people mean even integers, i.e. your 200th post but musically that doesn't work at all!. Both harmonically and rhythmically, music is all about the relationships between 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 12. Not 200. Happy New Year.

Only found out recently that Christopher Guest is a Hereditary Peer! Yes, 'Nigel Tufnel' is actually the 5th Baron Haden-Guest. So there you go!
