NAMM leaks, announcements, and rumors

Well that's the closest I'll get to Bilinda Butcher mustang. I'll take it!

[Iommic Pope]

i personally dont like menu diving so i'd prefer the empress stuff when comparing to strymons bigger boxes (love the el cap and whatnot).

definitely a market for people like me and i think they fill that "niche", if you will, just fine.

Also in with vid on this.
But fuck that price.

I just want for the purple finish, I have no need for a faux Mustang.

Some interesting reading on another trade show:

SHOT show UK coverage.

That's like teetotalers looking at the booze market and don't understand a whit of it.

I haven't been to a SHOT show since leaving the business...but...they're a bit off.

Was poorly done - the interview. So was posting that in some attempt to raise awareness about guns. Thanks for being a bearer of light.

Played the Empress reverb for like 40 minutes today.
Shit is good. Sounds like an Empress pedal ("organic" with no balls that blends well with the source) and can deliver some crazy stuff but it can't get at Eventide's craziness levels.

Would not replace my Space and would not buy it if it's >$200, which seems the most logical based on their other stuff. But is cool to see more multi reverb stuff.

Beer mode is tons of fun for sure.

Squier's Cribs Signature FSR (Fender Special Run) Guitars (Ryan Jarman Guitar & Gary Jarman Bass) available this September:



but already for pre-order here & here (if you live in Scotland).

That looks like a malnourished version of my Mustang Bass (with no stripes)...

[neonblack]

They really should have done that picture to scale. The bass looks smaller than the guitar but I'm assuming it's not.

[waltdogg]

Long scale guitar, short scale bass. Still looks a bit shrunken though.

[DarkAxel]

fuck that bass looks horrible

[oscillateur]

Well, I have a Jaguar and a Mustang bass right next to me now and the scale in that picture actually seems ok...
My bass is slightly taller than the guitar but just by a few cm when they're both on similar stands.

Edit : assuming the guitar is short scale, obviously. If that's not the case, ignore what I said .

[backwardsvoyager]

link says 24" so yeah. a mustang bass is slightly longer than a jag and just about the same length as a jazzmaster. that bass might even have a slightly smaller body than a mustang for all we know.
edit: bass is a 32" scale in the link so probably not much like a mustang bass at all. weird.

i don't mind the guitar. would look way better without the mustang switches and humbucker but it's a sig so artist preferences i guess. certainly looks better than the abortions fender has been coming up with.

[gnomethrone]

Is it fucked up that Squier is my favorite guitar brand these days?
