HANGAR18 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 You might get your wish. It seems to me (disagree with me if you like) that the reason many of us like the bass guitars that Heritage has made in the past is primarily because they say Heritage on the headstock. Heritage bass guitars, compared to all the other bass guitars which are out there these days, are very plain and ordinary. Nothing spectacular. The guys at Heritage don't really seem to dig bass guitars, and that's fine, and perhaps that is why the Heritage bass guitars they've made in the past are very ordinary. If they are going to try and make bass guitars again, I think they should introduce a model which will grab the attention of professional bass players all over the world and really WOW them. If they aren't going to do that, I think they should save themselves the trouble and just stick to what they already do best. Heritage solid body guitars are world class, Heritage semi-holow bodies are world class, Heritage hollow bodies are world class, shouldn't a bass guitar from Heritage also be world class as well? Don't misunderstand me, I would LOVE to see a Heritage bass guitar go into production but only if they are going to compete head on with the best offerings from companies like Spector, Ibanez or Carvin (for example). But another clone of a Fender Precision or something like that? Yawnfest. Not interested.
RJLII Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 H516 gets my vote, too!! from h's gallery: how thick is the body? it appears to be similar to a 576 except it has more room in the cutaway...makes sense as I sold my 576 because my hand kept getting stuck in there on the high frets Kind of like a 16" H-550 with a 24 5/8 scale neck. Thinner as I recall too. You could also look at it like a two pickup Groove Master without all the bling.
smurph1 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 An acoustic maybe? +1000000..Either a dreadnaught or a 000 would be sweet!!
DavesNotHere Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 As some others have said a Stat would be nice. But, I would love to see them do SSS VIP. I bought this one last October and it has not been in the case since. It is the most comfortable Heritage I own.
smurph1 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I just want a Firebird. Maybe if you talk to Marv real nice...
