lownote Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Buying one tomorrow for £90 off Marketplace. I've searched for reviews but wondered if anyone had any thoughts/ experiences they haven't published yet? Specially interested in opinions on the Roswell pups, and neck dive. Are we talking inexpensive quality bass, or cheap bass? Edited November 30, 2022 by lownote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 My one is a great bass in sound and feel but a little heavy. Well worth the money. Frank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Our guitarist has one for noodling at home. A little weighty, alder body(?), but I have to say it sounds fantastic.

NJE Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I got given one by a friend of mine who was upgrading and didn’t have the space for it, and I have to say it’s an incredibly solid bass. There were two small issues with mine, the pickups were wonky and rattled around, and there was terrible buzz/hum from the pickups. Easily sorted for about £15 and some time, I put a load of conductive copper tape in the cavity and shielded it to the best of my abilities, and I put new foam and springs underneath the pickups. I have a 2001 USA Stingray but have been taking the HB to the last few practices and it sounds bloody great and plays well after a minor set up. I’m tempted by the new roasted necked ones they have just released. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I honestly don’t know if it’s heavy, I don’t think it’s any heavier than my Stingray, but I have never weighed that either 😆. I will try and pop it on the scales, because I have been looking at a new bass and thought it was heavy, but it might actually be less than my two.

JohnFitzgerald Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I had their fretless Jazz. The Jaco looking one. Played nicely but was very very heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'accord. I had that one and it weighed 10 / 6 !! Couldn't sell it quick enough. That's why I asked about the PJ.
