In the comments on the post, HB say whatever it is will be released on Friday.
One more sleep!
-
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?
-
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 played it - very nice indeed
partner urged me to buy it. I, in an utter fkucwit moment said “I don’t need it” 🤦♂️
I'm really tempted by the Vintera P. I had a go on one the other day and really loved how it sounded. The neck was a bit wider than I'm used to, but I'll probably adjust to it.......maybe.
I wish they made a 70s Vintera P. I've seen a FSR 70s style MiM, but have no idea if they have 70s voiced pups?
I had a similar moment when the Mrs tried to persuade me not to sell a bass because I'd regret it, but I had this silly self enforced idea about limiting the amount of basses I had to 3. I really regret selling that bass!

Looks like the SB1 is a bit over budget. £1200 seems to be very bottom end price.
Just seen this in the classifieds from earlier in the month.......

Sorry if this offends but look at Crimson Guitars and see how he worked out the weight prob for his daughter.
Bored holes in it using common tools we can buy for our drills. Punched it full of holes job done. But then it will neck dive on you.
Shave the neck oops not so easy but that will need to be done as well.
Saw a video yesterday about these compared to a Squier CV and a Mex Jazz. It was quoted as being too thick.
Sound good they all did. Just glad I bought a Squier 70's CV at the weekend not one of the others.
You don't offend at all!!
If I tried to take any sort of power tool to a bass then I'm sure the results would be offensive to everyone here. My DIY skills are shockingly bad and mostly just involve swearing at inanimate objects. I'd love to have a go at modifying a bass outside of a few things I can do with a screwdriver, but it's not for me I'm afraid 😁

I had never really clocked the line as such. Cracking. That bloke's wall is making me feel uncomfortable though.
If you read his blurb about the vid he says something about Bruce Thomas contacting him and saying he's one of the only people he's seen to nail all the fills. Bruce Thomas even posted this vid on his own site in a hall of fame!
I love his background! I guess you're not into horror, but he has a few other vids going through his horror collectables and his Halloween decorations. Great stuff!!

The only thing I hope is they have sorted the weight issue. The other jazzes already on their list are boat anchors.
I had a 75JB deco off them (are deco's still a thing they do?) and it was a lovely bass......that also had the ability to attract black holes into its gravitational pull.

Those new J's do look great green pink and LPB all look pretty tempting. Does anyone know what the deal is with 'caramelised maple'? Is it just regular maple that has been dyed rather than roasted? Or maybe it's been fried?

I thought that when I saw those J basses the other day, but the tuners are different. I wonder if there's still something more to come?
-
I love this line, it's a lot of fun to play and has some nice little fills in it. When I first learnt it I got all of the little fills down (I think?!) but just add in which ever I fancy playing and don't stick to the recorded version.
There are some great lessons and covers on YouTube to help you and your wife out when it comes to learning it. Troy nails it here 😃 (as ever)

Just to add to the burst and tort P basses, here's mine.
It's a 2016 MIJ Hama Okamoto sig. Essentially it's a 62 PBass body with a 62 JB neck.

A cliche it maybe but here is mine. ‘62 RI CIJ 1999-2002, unable to be more specific with the serial number. Purchased in 2008 from Far Eastern Guitars for £465. Not sure if it is the US or standard model and in any case I’ve put a SD Quarter Pounder in. Pure P bass, always fancied a year of birth P bass but an American one was out of budget!
Loverly bass!
And it is a US model. As well as having US pups, you can spot the US models as they have spiral bridges (apart from the 70s reissues) and have the tuners with the large bass plates.

I really used to hate the headstock when I first saw the Sire range. Now I just don't like it 😁

Not sure I can stretch to the preamp as well. I've got a LeBass preamp which is fairly nasty, that'll have to do
I've heard good things about the LeBass!
It'd be a bit excessive to get another pre if you're happy with the LeBass, but you could get a MiM, set of GZRs and a preamp for £800ish?

I do like a bit of Red Fang, his bass tone is just what I want
Same here, Aaron's tone is pretty gnarly. Get yourself a Sunn Beta bass pre along with your new bass and you're there!

That is good value but (this may be controversial) I don't like the burst with tort pickguard. It's a bit too motown looking for a doomy punky noisy old bastard
If you want a more aggy PBass then you could pick up an older SB1.......?
Or just whack some EMG GZRs in whatever PBass you pick up. I think they're based on Geezer's 70s PBass pups, so are a bit more toppy.

G & L L2000 Tribute. 44 mm and a big handful of neck!
I'd always heard this, so had written them off whenever one came up near me, despite being really interested in the MFD pups and liking what I had heard from vids/reviews. I played one the other day and didn't think they were too bad. Despite being chunky at the nut, it didn't feel too deep front to back.
Now I'm kicking myself for all the ones I've missed out on!
-
The P5R is pretty tasty in natural.....
If they did that body with the roasted maple neck then I'd be very tempted!

The 70s PBasses do it for me in both vids, they just seem to have a bit more bite to them and sound like they're snarling their way through a song!

Thomann Tease
in Bass Guitars
Posted
This is different to last week's release, although probably in the same sort of colours.
