kodiakblair Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Bumper weekend of Harley Benton basses and bloody nice they are tooĀ š Ā Friday night I spotted @jezzaboyĀ had a cracking black/maple JB-75Ā Ā in the sales ads. Wee trip to Paisley on Saturday and I was again the proud owner of the Thomann jazz bassĀ š Plenty has been said about these over the years , brilliant bit of kit . The 12lb weight doesn't bother me in the slightest. Ā BTW Ā Gerry, followed your directions and was home in no time; cheers palĀ š Ā 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 planĀ šĀ Ā 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) 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...Ā šš Edited July 17, 2022 by Muzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 @Muzz Aye, that's a good call and one folk complaining about Peavey T-40s forgetĀ š Ā I've near 40 year on the tools in the building game, struggling to think of anything that weighs just 12 lb. Ā When I started cement bags were 110 lbs, today they are 55 lbs. Like I said, 12lbs doesn't phase meĀ š 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
