yorks5stringer Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Can't find the original thread but just to say 2 days running there have been Basses on the Thomann site in the Deco category. Yesterday, it was a 5 string acoustic and today a TB reverse Bass. Needless to say, they sell out in seconds but last week I went on(must be after they had just been posted) and filled my cart with 4 guitars that were still in stock, then thought 'I don't need these' and cancelled it. https://www.thomann.de/gb/decorative_guitars_and_basses.html?sid=f3220875c9fec54d63950b5685cd8177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 what's the deal with the mini warwick that's always on there? Are they really just ornaments? Seems a bit pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It's 50cm long so not quite a miniature but quite some toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I see, I hadn't fully grasped the dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjas Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have had 3 acoustic guitars and a 5 string fretless bass from here, but that was a couple of years ago I think. I gave up looking about a year ago because as soon as they go online, they are sold. Which is a shame as I got some great bargains. Clearly someone is making a business out of this and buying them as soon as they go online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yes, I enquired after a 5 string HB PJ Bass on eBay about a month ago, as it looked like a HB but the make was not mentioned. It was up for £100 and the PM that came back admitted it was a HB and offered me it for £90! I could not be ar8ed to go down the 'indignant decos' route with the seller (been there, got the t-shirt) but good luck to them. As said elsewhere, many bassists are unaware of BC and ipso facto the hot topics of the day so would snap up a Bass on Bay even though it is a deco.

pfretrock Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Can't fault my £37 Prog 4 Deko. Doubled the value by fitting TI flats. Battery lasts ages, but it is OK passive. My Fender P spends more time as a 'deko' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Plenty of posts on the various HB pages recently have been about QC troubles. Seems there's a new factory building the latest models and they're not up to speed yet. Deco could really mean just that ATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfretrock Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just checked the Deko pages, a HB P and a HB MM fiver and a few guitars - all now sold. Very few Dekos these days!
