I just scrounged up enough to go order an HB bass while my main is being repaired, but all three basses I'm currently interested in have vanished with either an "available in 3 months" notice (the JB-75 in black and natural) and the disgusting looking but "it'll do in a pinch" MM-84A with 2 humbuckers (completely gone)
What's going on, anyone know?
Also I think for the future on HB basses under €300 they should focus on fat sounding basses rather than the grindy ones, as the market is overrun with basses that sound thin and jangly/ grindy like the Toby, Cort Action, Ibanez cheapos etc. Some of HB's current basses overlap with these other manufacturers' sounds too much like the HBZ. (Don't discontinue the HBZ please, just put fatter sounding pickups in it and better pots and get. rid. of. the. hiss.)

There's a few P-Basses still in stock. Do they count as 'fat'?

I don't mind dark fretboards on black, brown or dark red instruments, but any other colour (especially if bright/ medium bright) it 110% has to be maple.

I see. Only in-stock maple neck is the PB-50 but that is single coiled.
