Will Ernie Ball be planning any new models in the future? I've got a Silo Special SSS that nails the sound of the best Strat you have ever played. Would there be a market for a Music Man "Tele" style guitar with an early 50's Luther Perkins, Roy Nichols classic country twang? I know and love the Albert Lee but to my ears it has a great sound all its own but IMHO doesn't nail a Tele like the Silo nails a Strat.

They just released a whole stack of new models, the Y2D, Dual Pickup basses, then we have the 30th and 20th anniv models at NAMM. Like BP said if they have to retool to make these then they're classed as new models. Maybe trying a new set of pickups (that sound like a Tele) positioned differently on a new pick guard?

Although the Bongo guitar looked like a swollen goldfish, I'd love to see the boys and girls at EB/MM make something similar for the guitar crowd. The only problem is that guitarists tend to be a lot more snobbish toward new designs than bassists, so it may not go over well.

I was surprised more questions weren't asked about this after the Open House.

That's the one that I was talking about. When I saw it at the Open House, I was underwhelmed. A streamlined version would be nice methinks.
Since we're dreaming, I'd really love to have an Axis bass.....

An Axis bass would be very cool, or even an axis baritone.

It needs refinement, but would be pretty neat if it became a production model.

I have to agree with Colin, if EBMM ever thinks it's ready it would hit the market.

They'd have to put some pickups on it first...

A quirky axe, but I think it would bomb sales wise. Probably why it never made it onto the market!
