    Love those P90s. I snagged a TE90QM from Thomann recently with Roswell P90s. They have that same quiet mode in the middle position, but with not only great sizzle on demand, but amazing clean tones, too! Great video, Shane! Gives me GAS!

    Hey man I bought a Harley Benton JB 20 Left handed to have my own bass to record with (to stop borrowing my friends and restringing) And Ive not played many basses but this guitar for the price 100euros... is the bomb!!! The quality of the build and hardware for the price are scandalous... the frets are clean and well rounded. the electronics for now are good. tuning is great it holds it own. My friend has an Epiphone bass 250/300 euros and the build quality is not to this standard.. I think Harley Benton will become a serious player in the entry / middle level market and give Fender and other brands a run for their money.... I love gear but I´m not a gear snob. If it plays well or sound good.. I´ll but it..BTW you should check out the Behringer Vintage tone monster tube Overdrive pedal .Its 70 euros (100 AUD) And this pedal is bloody fantastic....Cheers for the videos and your playing great stuff..

      Eastwood isn't a "replica," specifically; they're more like a copy of a copy. But "Hallmark" models ("60 Custom," "65 Custom," "II," "Gospel") are more like Replicas, but even they aren't the same - they're just _so_ much closer.

    Would love your help on this guitar!
    Just ordered the "MR Modern vintage series" from Thomann, I thought the extras it comes with for the price was a no-brainer to go ahead and purchase one.
    Before buying I made sure the scale was normal like other guitars it shows in the details of the guitar 648mm
    Which is the same as most guitars out there... And no where in the details does it say it is a baritone guitar.
    I'm hoping the one I ordered "is not a baritone guitar"
    I certainly would appreciate some help here. Do you know if they make both styles, the regular scale and the longer baritone scale in this guitar!?
    I'm hoping I get the regular scale , like the normal guitars out there so I can use the regular 440/E tuning!!
    Thx a lefty to a lefty😊
