  1. Not always. Sometimes mid afternoon or early morning. But they mostly come at night, mostly...
  2. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1435312202' post='2807480'] Do Thomann ship through Calais ? [/quote] As far as I can tell they fly it from Köln to the uk. (well, both my basses shipped that route) [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1435313074' post='2807498'] If I had seen it I would have bought it... then again I'm so excitable with these dekos at the moment as I have a thomann voucher I'll buy almost anything bass related that comes up [/quote] I'm not going to look at the dekos until payday... Roll on Tuesday... unless a 7 string guitar appears...
  3. I no longer use these pedals so it's time to go. First up is an Ashdown Dual Band Compressor. In pretty good condition, but is missing the battery cover. It's never been a problem as it was velcro'd to a pedal board (or run from an adapter). Has the box and catalogue. Sold It's a fairly good basic compressor Next up is a 2 loop pedal. This is a basic loop switching pedal, no blends or controls. Green channel is dominant. Sold Cheers
  4. Anyone get the Black Jazz during the night? http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75mn_black_vintagedeko.htm?o=5&ref=mal_a_5&search=1435296440 Looking like my 5 string will be a Monday delivery.
  5. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1435255232' post='2807065'] Everyone knows the best drum mix, is St. Anger [/quote] Well it's certainly the most interesting and most talked about Metallica drum mix...
  6. The one that gets me is when they charge you £2 for the privilege of printing your own ticket!
  7. According to Thomann's tracking page, the 4 string jazz, guitar box, bubble wrap and shipping box as 4Kgs and the 5 String is 7Kgs. That's one hell of a B string!!
  8. Now I've reached the end of Load, for the first time ever, it's actually a lot better than when I heard bits from it when it was released. The bass is still a little low in the mix at times, but as a whole the album is no longer consigned to the "no thanks" bin...
  9. Bass in Metallica, after Cliff, has never sounded better... First time I saw Newsted with Metallica he pretty much used Wals for the entire set. Sounded fantastic...
  10. The bass on Load is pretty nice, but that should be expected with Jason. There's a scene in Some Kind of Monster in the control room of the studio. On the 50" plasma screens you can see all the copied and pasted patterns for the drums.
  11. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1435177411' post='2806336'] bartelby I just took the control plate off my Zygote,pretty big cavity there I'm afraid [/quote] I thought that might be the case. It's a shame really. Surely it wouldn't add too much more to do a rear cavity as you've already got the cover there. You just stick it on the back...
  12. I wish they'd do a Zygote without the silly control plate...
  13. Mr AT! Your Deko alert system is becoming a bit slow these days! I'm very disappointed to find you have a life and don't sit there refreshing the Deko page 24/7!! In other news: Shipping confirmation!!
  14. [quote name='christhammer666' timestamp='1435088311' post='2805396'] I think I read in an interview with Hetfield somewhere that he they maybe would have down the load-reload route sooner if Cliff was still around [/quote] I've never listened to those albums. I've heard a couple of songs off each, but never the whole albums. Maybe I should... I bet you'd have been able to hear the bass on Justice is Cliff had still been around!
  15. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1435088059' post='2805394'] Me too... I am looking forward to it though. I think the main problem is going to be if its actually any good... In which case I'm liable to have this thread permantly open and buying Harley Benton deko basses could become a problem. [/quote] There's just 2 more things I want. Black Jazz (for the body) 7 or 8 string guitar.
  16. [quote name='Maude' timestamp='1435086932' post='2805382'] I've just put an order in for a PJ four string, don't even know why [/quote] [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1435087137' post='2805383'] I've no idea why I bought mine either... [/quote] I got over excited... but apart from that I have no idea. Although I don't currently have a 5 string...
  17. As I have no need for the body from the Deko bass it needs to go. Apparently it's American Ash and is quite nice looking. The rough looking edges on the scratch plate are because the protective film is still on it. It'll come with the bridge (looks like it's a Wilkinson bridge with brass saddles), the scratchplate and control plate (and all the screws) The only marks I can see are on the back of the upper horn and the 'D' stamp on the back. SOLD
  18. I may have to fill out a review of the LH Jazz I got the other week...
  19. Oh, it appears I've got a 5 string on the way... I'd best start getting on the wife's good side...
