It's about planned obsolescence. Gibson apparently thinks making minor changes will cause people to want the newest model.

Yeah, they seem to think they can take a car manufacturer's approach. I don't see that being effective in the musical instrument marketplace, but I guess time will tell.

They're going to have to do a lot more than change colors year to year and add a funny inlay to get me motivated to pull the trigger on one.  The signature is something different but the rest of the line just seems to be more of last year.

To be fair, they really did have a lot of new basses the over the last year (Midtown, 335, EB, NR Bird) so maybe the new models have to taper off for a while.

Maybe they should reissue the Bass IV in natural mahogany, the Victory and the RD Artist. :)
