Potentially quite a nice spec. Not keen on the ashtray myself,  but the matching headstock and ebony fretboard are nice touches. Think I'd put black control knobs on it.

Id never keep the ashtray on

I was amazed when I saw a Bruce Thomas Profile for sale 'upgraded' recently. 

Simply because I can't think of a single way to to improve the stock model. 

I do appreciate personal taste comes into the equation, of course. However for sheer sound quality, playability, balance, weight and reliability I've never owned nor played better in 40+ years as a bassist.

The list prices for these basses are a bit hard to understand:

most the Powers (40mm nut p bass) are £400, but a couple are £500

the Jives (38mm j bass) are 50/50, seemingly at random - eg the solar flare standard is £500, but the solar flare lefty is only £400

the Detroits (43mm nut) are all £500.

the signatures are mostly £500, but a couple are £600

^Shame its got the holes...

@Bobo_08 on here recently got a mirror plate for their Harley Benton Satin now Lynott-a-like... looked nice.

Just need the studded strap n ya sorted!

Simple but Statement!

Indeed, check out the Harley Benton PB-20 SBK here .... I also have a Fender high mass bridge to fit to it too... still not gotten around to that... but will repost some photos when I do.

I have 2 bass collections:

1. John Entwistle - superbly built. Everything is flawless. The sound is superb. Very punchy and aggressive.

2. Standard power bass. Again, very well built, but not as substantial feeling as the john entwistle. Slimmer neck and feels lighter, and the pick ups sound thinner, but there is more range on them - ie using the tone control actually works and gives you full sweep of usuable tones.

Both great basses, but the entwistle is the better one in my opinion.

Bass Centre basses lool like great value instruments, but I'd never buy one with that deeply unattractive and cheap looking Bass Centre logo on the heqdstock.

At least they've sorted that out with this and the Guy Pratt model
