8) The precision bass and jazz bass are the standards by Fender the only bass that comes close is the thunderbird. Let the competition slap each other around get a little exercise.


I know,I know...lol just would love to see some more color options and well..flair for us bassists. .. maybe more surf green , graffiti yellow, competition orange, sherwood green.... a little daphne blue Anybody?


8) I love looking at the pretty colors. If I'm playing the guitar, olympic white's, fiesta red's, sunburst's and black's feel the warmest. A figment of my imagination :lol:

To be fair, I will say this is really interesting on the bass front.






However, would it really kill them to at least throw us one really cool custom color (besides Black :? ) on the AVS 58 Precision? I'd actually consider getting one to add to my arsenal if I could get one in something like a Surf Green, Candy Apple Red, Shell Pink, or something?

You know, I don't know if this would be a popular choice enough to even happen, but I'd like to see another version of the P Bass Lyte come back. 22 frets and active P and J pick ups. Mainly, so I could get a replacement, rather than having to scour eBay for another one. :P

Oddly enough, nothing yet, and I have all kinds of email subscriptions, and follow a lot of things on social media.

NAMM guitar news, rumors and predictions: everything we know so far

- All eyes are on Fender this year, after CEO Andy Mooney’s announcement that the company will introduce more signature guitars for female artists next year than in its entire 70-year history. Oh, and there will also be a new Jim Root Jazzmaster, as also confirmed by Mooney, as well as a Joe Bonamassa '51 Nocaster, which replicates the blues guitarist's "best" guitar. That, of course, is in addition to its new range for 2020, the top-spec American Ultra Series, which was unveiled in November.

- If 2019 was Gibson’s triumphant return to NAMM, what does 2020’s show hold? For a start, we can expect more historical replicas courtesy of the newly established Murphy Lab. More excitingly, recent Instagram posts lead us to believe that both Adam Jones and Tony Iommi will be debuting new signature models.

- Meanwhile, on the Epiphone side, KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer has landed himself a new version of his signature Les Paul, now kitted out in an Electric Blue finish.

- PRS has already dropped a motherlode of new gear, revealing six new SE guitars, plus fresh Mark Holcomb and Dustie Waring signature models. It’s the company’s 35th anniversary, so there’s bound to be something big going down at the show. Come on, SE Silver Sky...

- We’re not sure what else Boss will have left to announce at the show; it’s already announced the DD-3T and DD-8 digital delays, the all-powerful SY-1000 synth pedal, and the game-changing Waza-Air, which crams an entire amp into a set of headphones.

- ESP got the jump on the show with its usual pre-NAMM preview, which showcases the return of the Phoenix, hardtail Black Metal models and a wealth of tasty fade finishes, plus sand-blasted models and some tasty new affordable Eclipses.

- This could be the time for Brian May Guitars to launch its first non-Red Special, the Arielle signature model.

- Keeley has partnered with country great Johnny Hiland for the Sweet Spot Super Drive, designed explicitly for Tele players.

- Although AmpliTube Joe Satriani won’t quite be ready for NAMM, IK Multimedia will reveal the voting results for the gear that will be included in the collection on day 1 of the show.

- TC Electronic has only just launched its Flashback 2 and Hall Of Fame 2 Mini pedals, but we do know there’s likely to be an all-encompassing multi-effects pedal dropping very soon...

- The company has already announced a reissue of John Frusciante's favorite WH10 wah, but there is BIG news coming from Ibanez for 2020. We can’t say anything more, but rest assured, fans of the top-tier Japanese guitar builder will not be disappointed.

- Mooer will be giving players what they want this year. That’s all we’re saying for now...

- Orange has already announced the Crush Acoustic 30, but there’s bound to be more in store from the Brit amp legend.

- Martin went all out with the patriotic, David Crosby-adorned Rock the Vote D-16E, but we hear that won’t be the only head-turning instrument on display come NAMM time...

- We recently paid a visit to Vox HQ, so we can assure you that there are a host of exciting gear releases on the way, in every part of the signal chain…

- Godin’s Radiator saw a reissue in November - we expect more surprises next month.

- Freyette has come out swinging with an updated line of Deliverance amps.

I always laugh when I think about Doc's phrase, "NAMM - not available, maybe May"

ROTFL. Good one, Doc. Thanks, for that, Mike. :lol:

Perhaps, these hair-brain ideas for a wish list:

1) A tube amp with a digital interface or at least a USB out to record for KISS. Just plug in your tablet or cellphone and hit “Record” or playback.

2) A digital amp with modular design to swap, replace, or upgrade components. Accuphase did this with preamps decades ago. It didn’t come cheap though. Others like Marantz did similar. Fender’s attempt with the Amn. Dlx. Strat Plus and it’s personality cards got varied reviews though. The rest is history. Each to their own.

3) Lighter heavy amps and cabs. :P
4) More secure drop in / pop out pickup options.

5) Voice control DAWs to shorten the learning curve. Voice control and automation is trending even where it isn’t wanted. :P
6) Simple fastener funky grill covers and logo so that one can mix and match their amp.

7) Replaceable amp skins for dress up and swag.

8 ) Removable and replaceable attached head amp (complete with headphone out) from an otherwise combo. This could allow twin speakers in a side by side twin box arrangement beneath to be separated for a wider setup or just to monitor and use the head amp. On the other hand it moves as a combo when desired.

Just sayin’

The compensated nut is an option usually available on Custom Shop instruments and I wouldn't be surprised seeing the American Ultras having this feature later this year.
