sprocketflup Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I bought one of these toward the end of last year, lovely looking bass and played great too with its Wilkinson hardware - [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb1975_na.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._hbb1975_na.htm[/url] Many folks on this forum have experience of the HB basses and the vast majority of them seem to be good ones. The particular bass I had slotted straight into my gig line up of 3 basses (fretless, P with flats, J with rounds) and held its own perfectly well until July of this year when for some odd reason the headstock bent forward meaning the A string wouldn't stay in the nut. I emailed Thomann and they sent me a returns label to send the bass back and they would replace it under warranty. All good there. Problem was that the whole replacement process would take 4 weeks, and I had gigs to play. Only answer was to buy another bass, which I did. Just got back today from a weekend of gigs to find an enormous box in my kitchen with Thomann on the side. Sure enough, inside it is a brand new JB-75NA. If anyone is interested in buying a new JB-75NA and fancies getting a few quid off, then shout up. As you can see from the link up there, retail on these is around £100 plus post, Ill let this go for £70 as I just dont need it anymore. I haven't even opened the inner carton so this is brand spanking new. Anyone interested? Im based on the South coast, near Axminster. ps. Thomann assured me that they've never seen the headstock problem before, on any of their products. Ive never seen it happen before either.
