Annoying Twit

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1442745628' post='2869117'] ....has anyone got a five string? I have heard that the rule of thumb on fivers is that cheap ones have flappy B strings, but I want a cheap (and I mean cheap) fiver and wondered if anyone can vouch if the HBs are any good or not? That was grammatically awful....sorry....but you hopefully get the gist. [/quote] I have a five string PJ. I don't think the B string is too bad, but it's not as firm as my Rockbass fiver. Strings are not the same, so that may make a difference. I don't have any expensive 5 (or more) strings, so cannot compare as others will be able to.

Congratulations to everyone for their New Deko Bass Days.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1441293631' post='2857688'] * Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood claim to enjoy a bit of four string action. [/quote] He's just said this in 'Keith Richards: Under the Influence', he said that he loves the bass, and that he's probably a better bass player than he is a guitarist. Neil Finn played bass at a concert I saw on Monday.

Anyone else got any comments on it? It does sound quite 70s Floyd in many places (including The Wall).

Well done allighat0r. I'll look forward to the NDBD post when they arrive. Both the 1975 Jazz and the PB50 appear to still be available.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1442927057' post='2870598'] Thanks, interestingly many are B Stock rather than Decos... [/quote] They all say Deko in the title, apart from the Warwick mini thumb bass. And they all link to dekos. I don't know why some have 'B-Stock' there in grey, and some don't.

I wonder what the smaller shops in smaller cities would be like for finding bargains. Everyone knows Ishibashi and the Shibuya area. I wonder if it's a bit like Denmark Street here.

[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1442923787' post='2870535'] And with an element of "christ, it's £30 for a brand new bass guitar", I've ordered one of the Jazz bassess too. Would have liked one of the black ones, but Natural will have to do Do i now have to await email confirmation before being certain they will come? [/quote] More or less, yes. Usually that doesn't take too long. BTW: I have written code that loads the mobile site and extracts all instruments. Unlike my code for the main site, it actually checked that they aren't sold out. There is still some way to go in order to integrate it with the rest of my program. Particularly since I want my normal program to start checking that the instruments are actually in stock in a similar way. This is what it thinks is in stock at the moment: [quote][font=Menlo][size=4] Harley Benton BJ-65Pro 6 String Banj Deko[/size][/font][font=Menlo][size=4] Harley Benton CustomLine CLR-TriCone Deko[/size][/font][font=Menlo][size=4] Harley Benton B-30BK-LH Deko[/size][/font][font=Menlo][size=4] Harley Benton B-30 BK Acoustic Bass Deko[/size][/font][font=Menlo][size=4] Harley Benton PB-50 SB Vintage Serie Deko[/size][/font][font=Menlo][size=4] Harley Benton JB-75 NA Vintage Serie Deko[/size][/font][font=Menlo][size=4] Harley Benton D-120CE-LH BK Deko[/size][/font] [/quote] Note that only Harley Bentons turn up as I'm only checking those. I'll expand it to include other instruments such as Startones, but don't need to add in the Warwick mini rock thumb bass.

The black/maple jazz looks tasty. Out of stock now, but the natural jazz and the pb50 are still available.

Good luck deko hunting today. I'm off-grid all day today.

Six string progressive DEKO!!! [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_650_black_progressiv_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ressiv_deko.htm[/url] £47 I think. EDIT: Beaten to it. One day I'll expand my program to check for dekos more than just on the main deko page. It's still 'available immediately' now though. @Andytre - the neck you gave me looks significantly different now. I need to order some fine sandpaper to sand down the veneer I used to fill the empty fret slots

This says set neck. Though, I think it's very odd that the Revelation site doesn't say. http://www.badlandsguitars.co.uk/index.php/bassguitars/electric-bass-guitars/revelation-rsg-bass-detail

Hmmm.... The lefty Deko was cheaper than the righty. Addressing the balance a bit.

Sorry to hear that Musashimonkey. They'll come round again.

Isn't it a Rockwood by Hohner? If so, I'm not sure it's worth £75.

Happy new bass day.

PM incoming.

Give it a clean before advertising? https://www.gumtree.com/p/other-guitar-accessories/bass-guitar-rockwood/1133728225

Good luck everybody.

Is Kiwi in this thread? Does he remember Harmony Central in Upper Queen Street, Auckland New Zealand?

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1442273618' post='2865738'] I think this Ibanez Silver Cadet must be Japanese-made. I've not run across one before: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vinatge-80s-Ibanez-Silver-Cadet-bass-guitar-rare-/131603091995?hash=item1ea427d21b"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1ea427d21b[/url] [/quote] Somehow that looks a bit Cimarish to me.

Very generous of you.
