I think that @mcnach has or had one that he modified to a JJ config. Nice looking bass if I remember.

A good excuse to buy an off white/maple P bass! 🤘

I feel your pain. I have been pretty reckless over the last couple of years, buying then selling them on after weeks or months. The wife is thinking that I spend more time buying and selling the bass than I do playing it. She might be right!

You have just had no luck at all with the purchase of that bass. Hope it turns up soon.

I know that @Ricky Rioli has had a nightmare trying to get a bass from the US to here as the flights are buggered but don`t know the script re here to the US. Good luck man.

Yet another purchase from John. Stuck a loom in a mates Harley Benton and he is well happy! Thanks

If I had to choose, I would go for the G&L over a Squire. The bridge alone makes it worth the extra. Check out the Anertons All about the bass YT clip where they compare both the Jazz and the P bass

Years ago I was offered an audition in a normal pub rock band. Chatting to the guitarist, I was told I would have to have a US P bass, a Sansamp neither of which I had and would have to play with a pick, which I don`t. End of conversation! If I was in a band, I would hope that they could leave me to pick the type of bass required for the gig unless there is a need for a certain look, ie in a tribute band.

For home use they are great.

A guitarist I played with 10 years ago wanted to start a mod band. It was his vision so they stuck to that and they were doing ok on the mod scene up here. If the 80`s band was the original plan you should stick to it and surround yourself with people on the same page as you. No point in playing stuff that you don`t want to, stick to your guns!

As he is a kid and they can be a tad fickle, I would go for the Harley Benton short scale. I had one a few years back and it was great for the price. Being a HB you might need to do a set up but that can be true of most cheap basses. They are a fun little bass. (I`m talking myself into buying one!) At about £80 ish delivered to your door at least if junior decides it not for him then no big loss. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbp90bk_shortscale_ebass.htm If you want to go more upmarket, get a Ibby Micro or a Mini P bass.

I`m pretty sure that the SB has a slimmer neck than the LB Tribute. The Kiliton Tribute has the slim neck as well. As for the Jazz JB ask @dub_junkie as he has had a few. I had a JB 2 bass with the P bass shaped body and it had a thicker neck than a Fender Jazz. Why do these guitar companies make things so damm confusing!

Just bought a set of pickups from Paul. Good price and a smooth transaction. Thanks! Gerry

Slip of the keyboard, I meant the LB.

The neck on the LB 100 Tribute is a bit more of a handful than a Mexican P bass and the same width, about 42 mm if I remember right. I really don`t know why G&L do this to their Tribute necks especially the L2000 which is a bloomin baseball bat! But the Tribute L100 is a really nice bass.

But the bass is in "players condition!" Who the heck was the player and has he any more to sell that we can avoid like the plague.

You can get a nice Sire V3 for £261 from Andertons. https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/sire/sire-v-series-basses/v3-basses?#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:& For the price they can`t be beat as they have the same pre amp as the more expensive models. Edit: just checked, sod all stock!
