Err... that's what the Jazz bass was originally conceived as!

You know damn well what I mean 😉

The only thing I hope is they have sorted the weight issue. 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

It'll be my next one.

 

Unless they bring out something else first.

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.

Still tempted by the Marquess 5.

But missing a string!

Down with that sort of thing! The correct number of strings is four.

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

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 🤔

I think that's maybe a close up of the new range of j basses. 🤷‍♂️

[Jonesy]

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?

You raise excellent points. Hmmm. I wonder.

[Jonesy]

In the comments on the post, HB say whatever it is will be released on Friday. 

 

One more sleep!

This is different to last week's release, although probably in the same sort of colours.

I'm really tempted by a Fazley, but haven't heard loads. I wonder how they compare to HB?

You are absolutely right. I thought about the pinkish Jazz above.

 

The Neck with the block Inlays and tuning pegs were different
