The HB PB50 is baseball bat neck, all standard HB P basses are standard modern P bass neck afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Thomann have it under control 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another beauty. Not 'good for a beginner' or 'OK considering the price point' or 'will do for a back up' or 'good as a start point for a mod' or 'might be OK once I replace every working part of it'. No. It's just great, straight out of the box, no qualification, no prevarication. It's beautifully finished, plays like a dream balances and sounds like a a P Bass. 42mm at the nut, no sharp edges, no dead spots, beautiful 3ply tort plate, no buzzing, no blemishes. And a laughable price tag. *sigh* in love again. Happens all the time. Looks a beaut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draw lots for who goes first. All the guilt of buying too many dissolves away into nothing. That would save e a lot of money! I don't think I'm getting the Harley Benton... but I already looked at sources of black pickguards without pickup routing, so that I could put a different kind at whatever position in there... and my birthday is coming soon But for my birthday I was after a purple Telecaster. However, if I don't find it... hmmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
