I had been watching after this kind of opportunity for years.
Then it was done yesterday evening. a 2015 JB75 Natural at low price ..... I found it 8km away from my home, and I got it for 60€ with the belt , and I could have departed with the tripod, but I did not need it.
Truss rod and bridge will require a bit of set up as soon as I have put new strings ( actual are wreck ), the tone pote is scratching a bit, not really a problem.
I was very surprised by the weight, not very diferent feeling compared to my Strats and TE52.... strange, this model is renown for weighting like an anvil ... not this one
I felt immediately as comfortable as with my strats, and the neck is simply the cutiest and the best in hand of all my HB guitars , even more comfortable than my CST24HB neck, it is a performance

Congrats! I tried one and sent it back because it was almost 5kg. Much too heavy but quite lovely otherwise. You are really lucky if yours is around 4kg.

Yes I was ! Working on the neck, I discovered that I will have to change the nut too, but all in all, it is still a nice bargain. Overall, it is the very first bass at such a low price that I play and feel like playing an instrument rather than .... a thing, so as long as it simply require some set up, cleaning, and inexpensive parts, I am happy
