I'm with Chris ( apart from the T 40s ) £200 is top whack. Plenty of choices and it's a braw feeling getting a great bass for cheap

Guid on Ye Geo.

I know a few folks with the 5 string version and a couple with fretless 5's, can't remember hearing any complaints. £90 for an active 6 string has got to be a record. I'll be watching for your NBD

It's a Concord alright. Nifity wee bass. Mines come to me like this [attachment=185966:Concord Pre.jpg] And ended up like this [attachment=185967:Concord (3).jpg] Might well be original as the catalogue shows [attachment=185968:concordIbass.jpg] Somebody got a good deal I think

Congrats on that beauty Marvin. You're right there's been loads of interest on these but you're a trendsetter now We'll all just be jumping on the bandwagon.

That's a great lookin defret job. Think you might start a trend here. Even more folk getting up a 4am hoping on a deko

Bought some Fender flats from Iain at the weekend. Top Man to deal with and I'm looking forward to the next time. Cheers Iain you're a Star

Glad to hear it arrived RickyV

I have a couple tuned BEAD even though I have 3 5'ers. Being comfortable with the neck is the most important thing for me.

Personally I've never had basses waiting in Germany.2 days after the order confirmation email they're at my door in Scotland.57 hours from email sent to me receiving it is normal. Thomann are closed for business on Sundays so I doubt any updates would be entered over the weekend. Only time I remember a lengthy wait was when I pre-ordered a BZ 4000. Got my first tracking notice on 20/08/14 and received it on 26/08/14. Thing is Thomann didn't expect them to be in stock until the 26th so the tracking notice was sent when the container with my bass arrived in Germany from China. So even with the 6 days wait it still arrived sooner than expected Can't speak for those of you in England but Mon-Wed or Tues - Thurs is pretty quick for international delivery to Scotland.

Normally I order on a Sunday and it arrives on the Wednesday but last two orders arrived on Thursday. Ignore the tracking info,by the time it updates your order has moved on,when it reaches the UK Parcel Force take over.

Well they were always in limited numbers. Keep checking the specials page for one offs. It's below the Vantage link. It's hard to see so here's the link. http://retrovibe.co.uk/special.html Nothing there ATM

And thanks to you Mornats as well.

Cheers Rev. That's the thread.

There was a thread on here that had a history of the Bass Collection basses and for the life of me I can't find it. Something along the line of " Who made your bass " rings a bell.Search just turned up mostly For Sale and Sold hits. On another site a fella reckons Tune and SGC Nanyo were the same company and I sure as hell don't remember that. I remember Tune Bass Maniacs in the mid 80's and Bass Collections for sale from the Bass Centre in 88. Can anyone link the thread I think I read? Cheers KB

It was either that or another Peavey T-40 Settled for the PJ and some Fender flats

Not what I wanting to hear AT. Just spent the last hour trying to stop myself from buying the 4 string model. edit I weakened

Ten to five this morning. Sure you weren't checking for Deko's AT

Great choices Andy. I also have the black acoustic 4 string bass and the wee bass Uke. I don't really get 5 strings so the P/J 5 HTR is not for me,same can't be said for the P/J 4 HTR It sounds great on the Thomann site so one day I'll weaken and buy it. The Uke sounds amazing and it's so small Congratulations

Lee Take your time and enjoy your N(very loud)BD One question : What colour did you go for ?

I hear of any 5 string Zephyrs going You'll get the heads-up.

MoJo I've asked on a couple of Peavey owners places. Soon as I hear back I'll let you know. Still think you got the deal of the year so far.

Couple of things I've notice with the Thomann. Talc really helps when the strings get sticky. Nivea fine talc from the £shop A lighter touch is needed,too heavy with attack and the strings rattle of the fretboard and accuracy when fretting notes is paramount. A quick measure gave E string at 4.8mm and G at 2.4mm or .190 and .90 so heavy gauge strings. Heaviest string I've tried before was a Rotosound F# at .175. When take into account the wee frets, being bang on the mark matters. I get 21.4mm at the fifth fret compared to 35.6mm. Well worth it though for that tone,DB for a thing weighing 2.2lbs Magic
