No, because they are medium scale, as discussed above.

You want tapewounds.

Seemed I've touched a nerve! Obviously most I've seen, course I've not seen all the reviews out there. Some apparently think it's OK. I'd stay way clear.

Interesting, every review I've seen, and I've seen a fair few all say how bad this bass is, and to avoid. Is on most reviewers worst basses of 2024 list.

Ebays new advertising should read... It's NOT free to sell on eBay anymore. Well, that (free bit) didn't last long!

Looks like a bitsa. Body something like this... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193779194012?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&ff=11&customid=EAIaIQobChMI1bXgp_PoiQMVG5RQBh2gBgT1EAQYAyABEgKQYfD_BwE

Yes, Westone Concord.

To put the price into perspective, I think a new Fender MIM P were around £179.99 in the mid 90s.

Picked up a £10 P bass recently, would be rude not to at that price. Pickups were a little thin sounding, put some neodymium magnets under the pickups, now they drive my speakers, easily as hot as SD quarter pounds in my other bass.

Next you're be saying you've not heard of a Shayman 2020 either?? 😋

I saw a video on YouTube of a guy with a homemade 51 p with a rails pickup, sounded decent, but thought I'd see if anyone had any further feedback. But good to know, there's not much sonic difference. The idea is to get rid of the single coil noise. Not too fussed with how it looks, so that's not an issue. 👍

Anyone put a (hot) rails pickup in their HB PB50? Thinking of having a rails put in mine, but not sure how different it'll sound from the stock roswell one?

Get a small monkey wrench.

Probably policy then.

What discount did you ask for?

Thanks, yes for a Fender.

There's several threads here about truss rods getting maxed out, which got me thinking I'm sure someone here could make them. No doubt they'd be a fairly good demand, as they're almost impossible to find/buy. Is there anyone here with the tools to make a batch? Or anyone here with some spare washers as I'm looking for some as the truss rod on my bass is maxed out?

Is this right? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/365140097849?_skw=bass&itmmeta=01J8N4KCZ5P1BYB6JTN79W3KE1&hash=item55040bbb39%3Ag%3AB00AAOSw3Rtm9DkJ&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKn2xMf8tyyGr0%2B0QSLLFJu859FC1zakpzib9rre3pPrGAO4810X1Au4i2QwjTLrSb6SRcODQ7o4mox1d22DWjGNVCpntdyeyszlw%2Bl6ZRlqmbwWtlBni9IAy5IYVli0EkVSLGTjSSKY9QBUe4S%2Fgp7DoIc90qfZ%2Fcy%2BKBrLD1iNoqoHbvXQeYk%2BquUL%2FAukpvIce84t3VpfFs3eqcvxcqAOUWbyRIbowGZ4nQkgFpSbow%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR97PzaTFZA&LH_ItemCondition=7000|3000|2500|1500

Swop the neck for a jazz one.

Don't they rust easily?
