Twincam The Status Hot Wire nylons play and feel great on my PB-50. A good price and fast delivery can be had direct from Status. Might be what your after.

What time's it due Lee ?

Result Lee. Just to whet your appetite here's a fella on a Zygote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF-IkdcvFVQ

Weighed mine 9lbs. When it shipped with the Behringer BDI21 parcel was 4Kg according to tracking. Last order said 7Kg, Bass Uke is 1Kg and V-amp Pro is 2.5 Kg. No way a travel plug weighs 3.5Kg. As alyctes says it's including the double box packing.

Got the Harley Benton last night. First U-bass and it sounds great. Finding the smaller neck a challenge but I'll stick with it.

Cheers I'd heard that for the Ashbory and was meant to get some today. On tomorrows list.

Got my hands on one last night. As my prior experience was limited to watching some YT videos last Saturday I really didn't know what to expect So I un-boxed this wee thing[attachment=184539:Bass Uke.jpg] As you can see it's tiny.Coming into this blind I can see some rethinking will be needed. First will be getting used to the strings,as they stretch a lot of turning is required to get in tune,and with the frets being so wee the thickness of the strings means you have to be bang on position to play. An alteration in attack is another thing I must work on to avoid the strings bouncing of the neck.Unplugged it quite quiet but I got a real surprise when I plugged it in. What a great sound,no background hiss just very deep tone Think me and this will get along just fine and I'm going to join a Uke forum for some tips. Don't see this as being a straight transition from bass,some time needed getting used to it's nuances like fretting properly and the strings being so thick.Might try different strings too. For the record it's 825mm long and 297mm wide by 80mm deep and weighs a colossal 2.2lbs or 1 Kg

Two excellent choices there dezb1. The fact that I happen to have those basses has no effect on saying you have excellent taste

The 4 string acoustic one.

AT Picked up a non-deko bass uke last night. Lookss like great fun will be had. I'll add my tuppence worth to the relevant post later. Compared to the B-30 it's tiny.

Think that's just a stock photo AT. None of my 3 deko basses matched the photographs.

Some pals had started learning guitar and a guy down the street was selling a bass for £1. I had a £1

Well done that Man. Dave's a great guy to deal with so I'm not surprised your questions got answered. By next Friday you'll be Evo'd. What a way to start the weekend.

AT Prices all went up on Tuesday. The HB-60 rungs a bell at > £160. There as a B-stock last month at £140 that I waited too long before deciding so lost it. The BZ-4000 NT was 241 euro when I bought it and at the exchange rate then it was £201. That's the reason for the price hikes. The euro has tanked!! I was going to buy a used bass from Germany and the stumbling block was how better a deal I was getting than fellow Europeans.

Well yellowcar seeing your post prompted me to get my JB-75 through and like John I'm very pleased. It's the older model with the weird melted wax scratch plate and rosewood fretboard. This was bought as a deko and cost £33,my first deko and I figured just to rob parts it was worth it.Big surprise when it arrived I could find no flaws in the finish so thought the electrics would be shot. Nope they work great so I'm still kinda puzzled why it was a deko. As I mentioned the finish is good and the woodwork is 1st class,body appears to be 2 piece and the grain is a decent match.A pleasant grained maple neck,satin finish and 20 frets with inlays not stickers.All the hardware works great,holds it's tune well and plays very well too. I'm in agreement with John again,some would say it's quite heavy, mines weighs 11lbs, and I had a few slightly sharp frets.Nothing to cut yourself on though.All in all a damn fine bass for very little money. It nearly costs the same to buy just the Wilkinson parts on ebay.I didn't have any set up problems out the box either so no complaints from me.

One less than last week. Bought a cheap silent bass from Germany,Worst purchase ever,replies from seller like hen's teeth,late delivery, played and sounded crap. Lucky it arrived damage so it was sent back for a refund. Topper was Parcel Force quoting £52 in the P.O. and charging £24 online inc extra insurance and text alerts.

Congratulations on that wee bonus Lee.

@AT I remember last month you posting round about 9pm when dekos showed up on your software,they used to show at 8/9am too. Can't fathom the timings either. I'm only really interested in the HB-60 and they're not listed anymore,the ebay one is a collection only from Tonbridge. Why did he not list it last December,I was working there for a week

Just a thought. Could the time difference between UK and CET or UTC explain why the dekos get listed around 4am as that would be 6am UTC.

I not convinced it sold for £77. Must be a mistake or I'm having a flashback.
