Looks really cool too! Congrats on the new bass!

Hey! Quick question: there is some buzzing when i touch the pole pieces lf the P pick-up or my Piranha... is the nail varnish trick the way to go.. ?

October 22nd 2025: Cort released the Cort GB short scale. January 5th-ish: Sire announced Gen 3 and new models. January 9th 2025: Ibanez have announced the release of the new line-up. January 16th (i believe): ESP-LTD will make their new line-up known through their website.

Hilarious, and extremely original too: got just one reply on Talkbass and it said the same as you.. Now if anyone would like to chime in with serious input? Like the Cort GB Short Scale was released around November 2025. But i seem to remember that the Harley Benton HB-50 appeared out of nowhere, mid-year, i think. ESP-LTD are unveiling their new line up sometime in January. Or was it just ESP? Anyway, does anyone know if there is any logic to when brands announce new models, lines, finishes?

Evening everyone! I see that Sire has announced their new models, and while quite often, new models or lines are made public at the NAMM shows every year, certain brands seem to add models to their catalogues "randomly". I wonder if any of you here have observed patterns in release dates? Maybe we could collectively come up with a calendar of releases by brand ? Like when can we expect new modeld/finishes of Squiers, Harley Bentons, Corts... to be released?

I am interested too but for the EU hehe

Oh! They have really cool Mustangs and headless basses too! Whoa! They look great!

I bought this blue Pbass recently. Shielded the cavities (very poorly cut inside) and put some ETB92 Tapewounds and it sounds and plays wonderfully..

https://www.instagram.com/mikemcclellanmusic?igsh=Y3g1aXAza2loNDZw This guy put a CV Jaguar neck on a blue one and i soooo want to do the same! Where would you source a 32" rosewood+blocks neck? I am keeping an eye out on a blue Jag now...

Mine is a Squier Affinity Jaguar H that's completely stock. Haven't gigged in a while though and it needs shielding but i love how it plays and sounds. Would love to have a blue one or a shell pink one to mod.. I'll have Chromes on this bass after Santa drops them off here!

Aaaargh! Why don't i ever bump into one of those incredible deals?!?!

I want one of those! How much did you pay for it, if i may ask? I am in France and they havent hit stores here yet..

Hils HNB3.. am considering one for myself, saving up towards one...

Well, that whole conversation on P basses has made me want a HILS HNB3 in Ivory really bad... My other bass is a Yamaha TRBX304...

The RMI is awesome! Used to own one! Loved it..

Me too! The Rosegold one..

I used to own one of those RMI (Mark Ramsay) Quantum Dominic Di Piazza 6 string basses.. lush instruments ! I am in the process of getting a second hand Ibanez SRMD200 (tight budget, only have a Sire P7 FL for now).. I have a couple of days to decide.. Am i making a mistake?

🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ So my SR1206 is just a SR306. But i still want an ATK800 or 810 lol

Why have they been discontinued though? Twice! Why?

Hello everyone, I am based in France and on the hunt for an Ibanez ATK800 or ATK810 (+case). I have an Ibanez SR1206 with its case to trade for it, and i am deliberately choosing those ATKs because i want to stay in the Premium quality levels: My SR is awesome so i want to trade at same value/quality levels. Feel free to reach out to ask questions, see pics and discuss our future swap !

Yeah, i have been offering people on the second hand market here in France to swap either one of my two basses for the ones they are selling but they all are looking for smthg else...and i have no cash right now to buy unless i sell first...

That's on my list lol...

One more vote for Sire! I used to have a V3 which was flawless. Only moved it because i moved from one country to another. Now i have a P7 fretless

Quick question : what makes the 1996 version more desireable?? I initially wanted a BTB 6 string lol..
