tom1946 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) This is a new unused HB Jazz bass. Never been played. Bought on a whim and needs to go as my back won't play ball. Weighs in at around 10 lbs but it sounds very good. Still has the cellophane on the pickups. These are now about £124 delivered now so this is good value for £85 delivered Pics [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_0872_zpslcssnjp0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_0873_zps8xgnobqb.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_0874_zpsy3jobwhh.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_0875_zpshmqhp87p.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_0877_zpsecb3txn7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_0878_zpsbonvo2du.jpg.html"][/url] thanks for looking.

tom1946 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) This is a lot of bass for 89 quid delivered! No interest at all. Might just strip it for parts Edited July 13, 2016 by tom1946
Doman Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) I have one like this, it's suprisingly good for the money. Swap the pickups, fix the fretwork and this is seriously good as a backup. Edited July 13, 2016 by Doman
kodiakblair Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Very strange there's been no takers. This is a steal !
tom1946 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Fretwork isn't terrible, also has Wilkinson pickups. I think it's great, just too heavy for me. But there again most things are too heavy for me these days. I have some great basses but I'm having to sell them all.
lefrash Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I have this exact one! You're right... it's on the heavier side of things but not too bad. It plays really well! It's been my 'go to' bass for the past few months! I doubt you can get a better bass for less than a tonne!
tom1946 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Bump, clearly wasting my time trying to sell stuff at any price, can't even sell my car!
lefrash Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Honestly... if this was even slightly different to the one i have already I'd be snapping it up. Slightly pointless having two identical basses.... can't beleive noones taking this.
kodiakblair Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Tom I've posted to this on the FB Harley Benton group. Captive audience there and they need to join here to contact you. Could be a win/win.
alyctes Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I have too many basses already, otherwise I'd not just be looking. Good luck with your sale!
tom1946 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 Cheers Al, I think there's a lot of us in the same boat
Darshan Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I have one of these basses and it's awesome. This is a real bargain!
Shabbs Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Cheers, I looked at the facebook page and alI I could see was a Deko for £85.
kodiakblair Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 What FB page you looking at Shabbs ? Only thing listed for sale on the "Harley Benton Guitars" page is Toms' bass, no for sale ads on the "Everything Thomann" page.

kodiakblair Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Nope don't see any mention of dekos on that link Shabbs. Just a link to Toms' post here. Edit Was a bit paranoid I'd somehow marked Toms' bass as a deko but here's my post.

It's in England and the £89 includes UK delivery. I've dealt with Tom (the seller) in the past and he's an honest fella who looks after his gear,the JB-75 is just too heavy for him @10lbs.

Shabbs Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Guy called Ampstack, about 3 posts beyond the pretty lady David.
Shabbs Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Kinda irrelevant though, the bass for sale here is an absolute bargain I just feel 8 is too many far less 9 for me but GLWTS.
Guest MoJo Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Absolute steal. Unfortunately I have too many basses already
Ballesteros Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I so nearly bought one of these new before I saw reviews stating the weight, though seeing this bargain now makes me tempted again. But I have to remind myself that with a dodgy shoulder I struggle with my 9.9lb Harley Benton Les Paul alike guitar, so despite liking the sound and the look it rarely gets played. I fear this bass would suffer the same fate with me and end up wasted on my wall. Have a free bump, I'm hoping that somebody takes this off your hands soon to stop me umming and ahhing.
