    Yes, is the short answer. All the other nonsense about wood and fairies will follow. 😉

    It's got to be nitro to let them breathe.

    For every poly coated P bass made, a fairy dies.

    Nice looking John Player Special that!  Congrats.  I'm always put off by the 'Have to take the neck off to access the truss rod' feature, with Vintera series basses but, apart from that, I hear nothing but good things.

    No need to take the neck or strings  off, just loosen and capo the strings, loosen the neck screws enough to tilt back the heel for access. 2 min job 👍

    Harley Benton HB-60 shortscale hollow body - *SOLD*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by miles'tone

    Harley Benton HB-60. Pretty much as new except I've upgraded the tuners to Gotoh resolite GB350s (£90) removed the pickguard and put a set of Jazz style knobs on. New set of Ernie Ball Group III flats on it.

    Home use only. 

    I bought it to see if I could get on with a shortscale hollow body due to a back injury, and it's been a revelation. Now bought myself a Guild Starfire so this HB is now superfluous to requirements.

    Plays and sounds great, everything works as it should.

    Weighs just a smidge over 7lbs.

    **Edit** I'll post it in the Thomann box within another box that my Guild came in so it will be shipped safely.

    Fender serial number and date stamp on neck miss match.

    Yeah 90 means 90000yen which was the price and therefore spec description, ie it's a good one.

    I don't think 89 on sn signifies anything other than it being part of  the unit number that this bass is as part of all the E series instruments across all ranges.

    Time wise it's 84-87 as when the E series was in production. 

     

    I've had 2 E series basses and both were really well made and played as great as their reputation suggests.

    It was 1969. Lovely to see a lot of bands performing there that featured regularly in the Melody Maker ‘What’s on’ listings in that era of happy memory. The inclusion of jazz polar opposites of Chris Barber and John Surman is wonderful!

     

    btw, 15/- = 75p
