I don't get the color scheme between 7.3 and 6.3. They look very similar and lack the fun colors Megabass won me over with.

Fun colors? I feel stupid saying that, but it is true.

agreed.
A dude on Instagram had a few Steez A's (pretty sure they were A's) painted in the Ito colours and it is amazing!

Big disappointment thus far, and I didn't like the Lauda effort either. Slacking IMHO, Megabass...... ](*,) Oh well they will keep trying I am sure. :lol:

If I were to get one, I would get the 6.3:1. I like the color the best on that one. And in the OG days of Megabass/Daiwa collaborations, 6.3 was fast! 8-)

I bet it would look nice on my XX Diablo Spec-R. So would the 7:1. I wonder why they didn't add a colored cap to the knobs?

Yeah, its just wishful thinking on my part.LOl

I gonna guess (megabass website retail) between 60,000- 70,000 yen; if its built well.
