That's the only clue we've gotten.
Oh, and they'll never paint anything white ever again.
.. and Mr. Hall thinks 4005's are ugly

Hey, how about the Trans Green used on the Cheyenne IIs used as Greenglo or Greenburst? Not a "new" color, per se.

they are not making 5 string basses ... there is no black trim ... sivler and white are discontinued ... the 4003s5 and the 4003s8 and the 4003s and the 2000 series are all discontinued ... damn! I miss the old days ...

Hmm, I guess beauty is in the eye.....
Too bad-
With what they're selling for these days, it would seem
that Rick could unload a truckload of those....
I could be wrong.....
I still wish they would do a slab 4000......

on't forget a new bridge design will arrive next year... should solve intonation issues.

I remember last year we were speculating in much the same fashion, then BBR was announced, some rejoiced, some were bummed because they weren't happy, I anticipate a similar reaction this year. It's tough when your mind imagines things and then you end up wanting them!!

Steve,
Did I read that right. Ben said that there are new bass models for 2006?

I dunno, everyone should be pretty happy about the new bridge design, unless it's hideous (probably not).
If there actually are new bass models for 2006, and you're not making that up, I predict mass celebration.

Walnut headstock wings on 4003s are in for '06!
