I've had my RL5 for a few months now and absolutely love it -- I was thinking to myself that I would love to hear a fish with humbuckers, and discovered the BH line. 79 of these out there seems like long odds....

I've had three of these, and they're neat, and unique.
Semi hollow body, mahogany core with a steel sustain bar in the middle of that.
Double J pups, coil tap for each one that give you single coil, dual parallel, dual series.
Big fat, supportive, organic tone.       | **** ****! |

this is the best BH5 I've ever played. Mercalli neck on BH body. I had originally wanted the bass to be 34" scale, we went with 35 because everybody was doing it back then. I never much liked 35. had to move the bridge forward about 1/4" to get it to into ate. it's amazing, the B string is actually better now than it was with the 35" neck. strung with DR flats. it's amazingly punchy and balanced. |

You gonna help me clean the beer off my keyboard? I have to say, that blocked neck makes it something fierce!
