The uber-sleek stash stainless bass guitar by Canada-based musician Stanislaw Potyrala is made entirely from stainless steel. It has an adjustable bridge, which improves stiffness, mechanical and environmental stability and sound quality. While the body of the bass has a modern shape, the most striking part of it is its tubular neck, which the company says works with the natural grip of the human hand to give fingers ready access to the strings. The great advantage is that the bass will stay in tune much longer than conventional basses and extreme temperature won’t have any untoward effect. The disadvantage is that some temperamental rock stars will not be able to destroy this guitar on stage as a part of their act. But that sure makes the guitar more durable and fascinating.

Price: Starting at RS 1.80 lakh

A car high on IQ

For car enthusiasts, the wait is finally over! After decades, Mercedes-Benz is all set to once again launch an open variant of the S Class. With a tradition that harks back to the 1930s, when the convertible Grosser Mercedes was used by kings, presidents and heads of state around the world, the German automobile giant is ready with a similar version called the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet. The sporty two-door is a four-seater with a folding soft-top and commands not only a striking, self-assured presence, but also delivers exhilarating driving dynamics. It is packed with some of the world’s most innovative driving assistance, such as intelligent drive and collision prevention systems. It can even autonomously apply the brakes in an emergency, helping to prevent rear-end collisions, thus making it one of the most intelligent cars of the world. 

Price: Around Rs 1.20 crore

Most of us have heard the phrase, one for the road. But one for the water? That’s stretching the imagination a bit too far. Certainly not as far as Moët & Chandon is concerned.
