It sounds to me that you have made a silk purse from a mixed bag. If you'll be kind and ignore the metaphorical confusion of that statement.

A silk purse from a sow's neck?

Ah balls!!
If only I hadn't just spent money on my daughter's christmas presents!!

[Jonesy]

I just got a confirmation email through saying that my PJ has been OK'd! Woop!

[Andytre]

woop! hopefully yours doesn't have the Godzilla of dead spots like mine did!

[Jonesy]

I'll let you know when it arrives! I've asked for the order to be held for a bit (I'm after a Jazz as well!) so it'll hopefully be with me next week sometime!

Thomann could really save themselves the hassle of posting on their website, and just post them here. Lets face it, basschat must snap up 95% of the Deko's

Iv now joined the hoardes of page refreshers aiming to find a project

They have come up occasionally.

When I saw your post I thought that you were going to be linking to the very pointy guitar that came and went before I even noticed it.

Hope so I've had pretty good luck with dekos, mostly very light cosmetics or setup issues needing fretwork. Was disappointed in the acoustic bass pre amp just screams and I mean screams. Especially as it was intended as a little gift. So we shall see what this one is like.
That if I get it, won't be first time I've ordered and it's been out of stock.

[RickyV]

Standard series J's and P's up for grabs now. Both great basses for little cash.

yeah went for it. Hopefully my order gets accepted. It wasn't for an acoustic fretless a couple of weeks ago :/

Which did you go for? Or maybe you went for both at that money! Either way, hope you are successful this time.

[such]

both

I also put down my parents' address back in Poland for delivery. I spend there about two months (combined) a year and always feel bad about not practicing. If I succeed with the purchase, one bass will also be part of a xmas gift for my brother.

Good plan! Well they are both still available on the Thomann site at the moment so you should be in luck! Hope you get good playable ones. My P bass deko was as near perfect as you could get - pretty much nothing wrong with it at all!
