EBMM Predictions for 2019

[mmbassplayer]

So we typically do one of these every year. Figured I would get it started.

Already known...
Cutlass/Caprice discontinued.

Predictions...
Sterling revamp aka... Stingray Special.

Bongo update? Maybe with the lighter hardware, can’t see any electronics changes coming.

New Passive bass??

St. Vincent bass??

Matching Headstock option for Classic Series Stingrays (I write that every year hoping BP will listen). Now that I think about it, matching headstock on any Stingray.

What do you all think. JOSH

I'm super excited for the St.Vincent model!!! Im hoping it gets the game changer electronics

35" scale St Vincent 6er with 29mm string spacing. Only available in Heinz colored finish.

 

[Chuck M]

"35" scale St Vincent 6er with 29mm string spacing. Only available in Heinz colored finish. "

29mm must be a typo, Jack. 19mm is wide....too wide for me.

 

[GregP]

Will the discontinuation of the Cutlass/Caprice 4 lead to the release of the Cutlass/Caprice 5? *Fingers crossed*

I would love to see a Cutlass 5 as a BFR release. It would be a great way to send off an incredible instrument.

 

[Bass Control]

Headless Bongo 6 HHH with a walnut body, Kahler bass tremolo, roasted oak neck, highly-figured graphite fingerboard, and abalone nut. Case sold separately.

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

I'm guessing a switchable passive option for the "Classic Collection" Sting Rays.

 

[five7]

stingray 6 with a slo neck

 

[rhobbs005]

Fretless stingray special?

 

[cybersnyder]

I really liked that SS SR that someone photoshopped in another thread. It's not going to happen, but I still like the looks of it.

 

[Itsmesantiago]

I'm hoping for an Bongo SS. I wouldn't be surprised if a new body style would replace the Cutlass/Caprice in their Modern Classic collection.

 

[Edmang]

"35" scale St Vincent 6er with 29mm string spacing. Only available in Heinz colored finish. "

29mm must be a typo, Jack. 19mm is wide....too wide for me.

I took his comment to be facetious. Only he knows for sure.

 

[Edmang]

Bongo update? Maybe with the lighter hardware, can’t see any electronics changes coming.

My guess on Bongo update... no longer painted neck and headstock, and similar roasted neck to the Stingray specials.

 

[Edmang]

Would love the return of the Piezo option, but doubt it will happen.

 

[Meypelnek]

Revamped Bongo line with smaller bridge, standard roasted maple neck and maple board option. Equipped with Alnico pubs (just kidding).

 

[Randracula]

White/Stealth Bongo. I missed the boat in these a couple years ago.

 

[AndyRage]

I have been waiting for the St. V bass since rumors first started! I hope they don't do it in a short scale though!

 

[kylierider]

Why is the Cutlass/Caprice being discontinued?

 

[Rysker6]

Wondering if they’ll “special-ize” the SbMM basses ? ie the body curves, a variant of the pickup etc

 

[vaughan]

Dargie V3 released?

I’ve been saving the gig money all year for this just in case
