Steady on there Fretless bass uke has left UK depot so might arrive today after all.

That's a result yorks5stringer and reminds me I've still not bought another set of Status nylons

Fairly regular. I combat it by doing just that Helps if your self-employed and the family are up and gone.

£40 well spent. And to think you were talking about packing it all in

Congratulations on the Golden Anniversary Chris.

May I suggest you arm yourself with a photo of a cardboard box and write Thomann on it. But this might help[attachment=198474:Thomann box.jpg] Remember the pleading look Feel free to use as the wallpaper on your phone.

So not only do you have the excitement of wondering what made it a deko,you get to ask " have you got my bass ? " in various languages. Loads of fun awaiting you Monday Rob

Bass uke was processed and shipped out of Cologne at 3am. Don't expect it will arrive tomorrow with it being Saturday but Monday will do fine for me

Text message from Thomann saying fretless bass uke has shipped. Can't complain,that's 14.5 hours since order placed and they've been closed for 12 of those

How about Dancing in the Moonlight, Thin Lizzy , Phil Lynot.

When I bought my bass uke I thought " damn,should have went fretless!". Took care of that thought just now,pending request confirmed email.

I'm surprised at myself and AT commenting on it being stripey. He's got a 7piece thru neck and I've a 5 piece.

Good on you young fella. Ten out of ten both for going to see Misfits and having the savvy to get round security hassles. Just need to workout how you get the Iceman.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the J&D. The Harley Benton uses the B-Band too, the U1.5T and I have the manual to hand if you need any info. I can't find it on the B-Band website. I use talc to combat sticky strings

Don't know if this has been mentioned but the mobile version has a filter for "only in stock "dekos. Brings it into line with the desktop version,I never understand why Thomann still list sold out models,they do the same on the " blow out " pages. " Here's what you could have got " is no help.

I've never heard it so can't comment. Keef really said it was crap just like Satanic Majesties " they saw us do a load of s**te and thought they could do the same "

I notice it says the seller covers return if faulty but it first says to be aware who pays return if you change your mind, not you'll note the seller is not legally obliged to pay return. If your deko arrives with a busted headstock I'd say it was faulty but if it's merely unplayable as it's stated to be you could be paying to return it. as the Thomann free return policy applies only in Germany. More important is the OP will have to spring for postage and insurance for trial of the £4K Fodera.

Off topic slightly but I read this thread yesterday about a cello with a Styrofoam top. http://www.talkbass.com/threads/building-instruments-from-styrofoam.1165446/ It was designed in Belgium and there's some debate about the construction,mainly from a naysayer but it was on TalkBass so to be expected. The goal was smaller instruments without sacrificing volume and tone. A bold move on something as traditional as a cello but if it takes off could have benefits for all acoustic instruments.

Would that be the £27 one in Cleveland ? I notice there's another 2 sans neck ! a super Strat and LP both 99p and no takers. If it's the same one here's the link Grangur though it's not listed as Fender Precision. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMPLETE-PRECISION-BASS-GUITAR-BODY-NATURAL-WOOD-PICKUPS-ALL-ELECTRICS-FENDER-/261991602941?hash=item3cffea9afd

Never went through with the Beat bass buy. I was after the PB-50 for the body but they were sold out. I won't be waiting on another deko though as £70 isn't a deadly price and this was the first time this year the 50 has been listed.

Weird. I put a Beat bass in the basket on the mobile site but it doesn't transfer to desktop.Signed in on both sites. Which one do I believe though. No Beat bass showing on desktop version.

Good advice there Chris. Hope it wasn't learned the hard way.

Buy a Retrovibe Super-P with the mini toggle switch mod and use a preamp pedal. Best of 3 worlds [attachment=197980:Super P (3).jpg]
