First, I love Music Man basses. I currently own two Sting Rays - a stock 2018 HH and a 2004 EBMM USA S.U.B that has been highly abused by its previous owner and restored/modified by me. The S.U.B. is my favorite/main bass and you'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.
A couple of years ago, I think during the NAMM show, Sterling hinted that there might be a St. Vincent Bass variant in the works. I'm sure, like so many other things, the St. Vincent hadn't fully proved itself yet so a bass version was risky. That sucks. I get it, but I'd still like to see it.
Other things I'd like to see:

Other things I'd like to see:
- A three-pickup bass of any shape and size! (Ala the St. Vincent Bass?)
- A re-issue (or limited run) of the Big Al SSS bass (I kick myself for not grabbing one when they weren't pushing $3K on the used market). To me, the Big Al is the sexiest bass to ever exist.
- A modernized "Special" version of the Sabre Bass - Special being like the Sting Ray Specials - updated contours, roasted necks, lighter hardware, updated pickups/pre-amp, etc.
- A Kaizen bass - maybe?
- If no on any of the above, what about a Sterling by Music Man version? <hint hint wink wink>
- The ability to select hardware, paint color, and fret board combinations (Black hardware looks cool on the right bass, but I always prefer Nickel or Chrome with a rosewood fretboard)
- Something with a 32" scale - 30" scale basses are too 'rubbery'(?) for my preference
- Cream pickup covers
- A custom shop - I'll bust out the checkbook!
