No not mine, I just remember them discussed in the Talkbass Harley Benton thread.
The owner reported being happy with his but he must have been one of the lucky ones; Thomann ordered one production run then quickly cancelled the models.
There is an English/German company "Gear 4 Music" offer these.

Personal experience is not "stepping out of line", you received a lemon; no reason to keep quiet about it 👍
My last 2 Vintage basses were great basses in terms of construction and materials, pretty too 🙂
From my own experience of owning 13 single coil/51 P-basses and trying 20 different pickups.
I liked the Duncan SCPB-1 though it had quite low output, I did not like the SCPB-2. The Roswell was fine, it and Duncan SCPB-3 share the same alnico pole pieces so have a similar attack; the Duncan...
Is that a good thing ?
I know Leo started some tradition by using it for guitar bodies, but much of the Alder felled in the USA winds up as pallets for the transport industry or as chips/pellets. Andean Alder is used for matchsticks :rofl:

That may be an avenue worth pursuing, the...
Peavey used a very primitive truss rod system. It is just a bent length of metal with a nut and an anchor. This video shows the limitations of such a system.

Chip Todd recommended drilling a 12.5mm hole at the end of the heel then striking the truss rod at the headstock and driving it out through the hole.
I've his email detailing the steps but it is saved on my PC which, as I've moved house in the last few days, is yet to be set up. It will be...
Bruce Foxton from The Jam preferred a P bass so had a split coil installed at the neck position. Unfortunately I don't recall if this was in his Ric or the Ibanez copy.
It can add weight for little actual benefit. For some reason in the 70's we were obsessed with adding weight to our basses, anyone recall these:rofl:
Which handily leads into @Cee asking "Does it make the bass sound or play better?" about reshaping a PB-50 peghead.
The 4 inline peghead...
