Welcome to BC, nice looking bass, should fix up a treat John

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1392428577' post='2368808'] anybody knows what they really are, or where to get them? I recently got a VIntage 75 J&D Jazz bass with those strings on, and I really like them. [/quote] You could try emailing DV and ask them There is a contact email address at [url="http://www.dv247.com/customerservice"]http://www.dv247.com/customerservice[/url] John

[quote name='AndreAlmeida' timestamp='1392392543' post='2368155'] What's your opinion about quality construction? Is it worth modding it? How much is the string spacing measured from the bridge? [/quote] Spacing between the strings is 18mm. John

Rod Stewart's newest CD 'TIME' which is really good

Lovely Valentines Day prezzie

[quote name='AndreAlmeida' timestamp='1392392543' post='2368155'] What's your opinion about quality construction? Is it worth modding it? How much is the string spacing measured from the bridge? [/quote] I think the build quality is great, everything is spot on and the pick-ups sound terrific When I get a chance I'll measure the string spacing. John

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1392409426' post='2368525'] I have ordered this, looking forward to getting it, I'll report back next week if there's any interest? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75_sb_vintage_serie.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ntage_serie.htm[/url] [/quote] I have the same model but with a maple neck and natural finish, hope you like it as much as I do mine, let us know what you think John

I saw Rainbow many years ago at the Hammersmith Apollo and Stretch were supporting, great gig, the bass sound when Stretch was playing was so low that it made me feel sick!!, how low can you go John

Great song and video, like the singers voice a lot

[quote name='jeweytheroux' timestamp='1392311269' post='2367193'] I'm guessing no-one plays these then? Probably a bad sign! [/quote] I bought a HB Jazz bass a month ago and it's great, don't know what these are like though John

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1392319250' post='2367392'] Hi guys, anyone got experience of the Harley Benton stuff Thomann do? Got a few acoustic sets coming up and need a low b. Got to be worth a shot at £140 ish? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb35ntfl_5string_akustikbass_fretless.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ss_fretless.htm[/url] Really fancy something a bit more upmarket, like a Warwick, Furch etc, but for the use it'll probably see...it's hard to justify £800 ish to Mrs.T... Just wondered if anyone had experience/praise/horror stories. Thanks Andy [/quote] Andy I bought a Harley Benton Jazz Bass [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb1975_na.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb1975_na.htm[/url] about a month ago and it's terrific, they check and adjust all guitars before they are sent out and have a 30 day money back guarantee and a 3 year warranty. Hope this helps. John

Congrats, hope it goes well for you John

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1392186479' post='2365674'] Stunning, what are the fret edges like? [/quote] They were a bit rough but nothing I couldn't live with and after a few weeks playing they seem to have evened themselves out and are fine now John

What a beauty, you are a lucky man John

I bought this a few weeks ago and it's a fantastic bass, great pups and neck and it's lovely to play [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb1975_na.htm#bewertung"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb1975_na.htm#bewertung[/url] John

Ask your co-workers to chain you to your desk during the shops opening hours, problem sorted John

If it felt right to quit then it was, now you can concentrate on finding something that makes you happy when playing and performing, good luck John
