The other jazzes already on their list are boat anchors. Given that they have the same pickups as the current Js but a poplar body, I would not be surprised if the new ones were a response to the well known criticism that the basses are too heavy. However, my JB75fl was both heavy and a neck diver. Hope this new ones have significantly lighter necks/headstocks. If they have sorted all this out this is likely going to be my next bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub_junkie Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 If these sound and play and are built to the same standard as my HB TE-62 Telecaster then I'm definitely interested in buying one. Either Dakota red or Shell pink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on a Uke or a Cello ... but on a Bass ... I think in this case we do not see eye to eye (or is that string to string) Simple maths ... 5 fingers ... five strings lol S'manth xx (Often wrong but hopefully amusing at times!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Something else HB posted on their FB page earlier....... No idea if that's linked to the original tease? It looks fairly retro with the shell pink and doesn't really match the tuners from the first post 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I thought that, but the new shell pink J has a white scratch plate, not tort. Plus, the caption said 'time for another sneak peek', as if it's something new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
