Question Your 2010 NAMM guesses and GASes

[DaddyFlip]

Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas! The New Year is a week away, then the home stretch to NAMM begins. Anyone have pre-GAS yet? Anyone want to pre-GUESS what might be revealed at NAMM? Let's hear your guesses and GASes - JUST FOR FUN (please, no whining or begging )

• 6-string piezo option
• Earthwood reissue
• amp/preamp/cab reissue
• Bongo Gold Roller (Bongold? BoGoRo?)
• NEW COLORS!
• Classic Collection

I think we already know most of what's coming.

Reflex (i.e. regular production 25th)
Gamechanger
Big Al 5

That's a lot right there.

 

[T Alan]

I'm going to want a fretted 6 to go with my fretless Bongo6(if it ever gets here). I'm likely giving in to the Reflex. It's such a cool design. Anyway...it would be too cool if they offered one of their other instruments in a 6-string design. I'd also deeply wish we could get the Reflex in a pup config similar to the Big Al(3 singles).

 

[TheBassGuy]

my pre-gas for 2010 is a classic-ray, but only if it doesn't cost nearly double as a normal ray...

Seafoam!

 

[T Alan]

Oh, and how difficult could it be to offer the Bongo 6 with the piezo option?

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Reflex bass 5 HSS with PIEZO too, that would be super, woudn't it?

 

[MusicMan4Life38]

Well for me it's....

4 string Stingray SLO Special HH Black Cherry Burst, Maple fingerboard, but I am waiting to see if new colors are announced at NAMM. As I am still confused about SLO necks my backup would be to get a Sterling. When I start saving for this bass in February it will be my first Music Man bass.

EASY!

Classic Ray
Reflex

 

[phatduckk]

ya i couldnt ask for more between the classic SRs and the Reflex (guitar and bass). IMO the Reflex all by itself is a big deal.

 

[Thornton Davis]

I'm anxious to get my hands on a Big Al 5 around next May or June.

[b-unit]

A lefty Bongo 6 would be heaven!

 

[bassmonkeee]

Oh, and how difficult could it be to offer the Bongo 6 with the piezo option?

Apart from completely redesigning the circuit board that contains the piezos for an esoteric option on an already esoteric bass that probably wouldn't amount to more than a handful of sales a year? Not to mention an entirely new bridge design.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

[Manfloozy]

Dave LaRue signature Bongo... I'm just sayin'

 

[Duarte]

I'm exited about the Reflex. I prefer the look of 'normal' colours to those fancy tops of the 25th.

 

[strummer]

There probably won't be a chicken yellow colour option.
This is a good thing as I would otherwise have to get myself another Bongo.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I'm looking forward to the Big Al 5. It would be nice to see in Pacific Blueburst.
