Bumper weekend of Harley Benton basses and bloody nice they are too 🙂

 

Friday night I spotted @jezzaboy had a cracking black/maple JB-75  in the sales ads. Wee trip to Paisley on Saturday and I was again the proud owner of the Thomann jazz bass 👍

Plenty has been said about these over the years , brilliant bit of kit . The 12lb weight doesn't bother me in the slightest.

 

BTW

 

Gerry, followed your directions and was home in no time; cheers pal 😎

 

Today also saw me travelling west for bass. Young lad in Lanark was selling a PB-50 on Gumtree, OK it's a leftie PB-50 but I've a plan 😀

To be fair, that 12lbs weight for a sort-of-75 could well be the most accurate (and bravest) bit of copy work I've seen in a while - I (briefly) had a 78 Jazz that was around the 12lbs mark...the best thing I can say about it (not yours, obv), was that when you propped a door open with it, it stayed propped open... 😕🙂

Aye, that's a good call and one folk complaining about Peavey T-40s forget 👍

 

I've near 40 year on the tools in the building game, struggling to think of anything that weighs just 12 lb.

 

When I started cement bags were 110 lbs, today they are 55 lbs. Like I said, 12lbs doesn't phase me 🙂

I was telling a young lad about that the other day and he didn’t believe me 😂🤣

Glad that jazz went to a good home 👍

Aye, I get the same reaction from the apprentices too.

 

They feel much better when I point out Gyproc still weighs the same 🙂

What's the plan?? Very interested in what these can do, the price is so tempting.

Started as an errand boy at a local grocer shop when I started Grammar school, tasks included carrying 56lbs bags of potatoes from the outside store area to the front of the shop. (Aged 12yrs) Today some Wokey busybody would probably claim it was child exploitation .

Looking forward to seeing the plan come together Davy.

Glad you are happy with it Davie. Glad to see that your plan to cut down on the amount of basses you own is going well!

 Stealing from Mr Hill again.

 

Not a fan of his band but the man had great taste when it came to basses and beards 😃

Think that plan is on the back burner 🤣
