Musikmesse 2013

Looks like Fender are doing the 'la cabronita' bass MIM I hoped they would, and nitro classic series (unworn roadworns) basically.

Music radar has pics.

Its all about the A&H QU-16 this year For me at least...

I like the look of the 50s precision! [size=4] [/size]

Yeah, Shame about the limited colour ways, but I get the cost implications...

The sunburst jazz is crying out for aftermarket stack pot controls.

The candy apple red cabronita is on the list, dangerous.

A mate who's out there has emailed me pics of the Gibson 335 bass too, which looks bloody gorgeous in a dangerous kind of way.

Love the cabronita bass!

[Noisyjon]

List price looks suitably high

Fender posted a demo of the Cabronita bass. I think it sounds great.

Soo jealous of those who are there! Ped, Kiwi, can I be Basschat's Musikmesse reporter next year? Please? I would write and publish a lot of photoblogs for this site...

I loved the Lefay Pangton fanned fret and the steel:


also the DNA amp at the USA Music/Koch booth and the basses of Günther Eyb.

and what polo did I wear?

I have to say, the Cabronita looks nice but it is a brand new bass- no Mojo. But I can see how it could be ok if it is strung with flatwounds and you are going for a vintage sound.

I saw some interesting basses on the Human Base stand of course, the Fibenare were good, too.

This was the highlight for me - absolutely stunning in the flesh!

So much so that I had it on 'reserve' for 24 hours but then decided I really needed a fretted one:

On the Fender front - I heard a dealer near me placed an order for no less than 6 new Custom Shop basses at the show. . .
