    Brand new (in box) Harley Benton Deko ukulele bass. Traveller-sized, spruce top, mahogany body, carved back, mahogany neck, C-shape, rosewood fingerboard, DOT-inlays, 20 frets, scale 534 mm, nut width 42,0 mm, rosewood bridge, black open gear tuners, Fishman Kula pickup system with built-in tuner, Aquila strings, finish: natural satin As with all Dekos, this one has a small defect in that two of the tuners seem to slip. This may be easily fixable by someone mechanically-minded who knows how to take the open-backed tuners apart and put them back together. Fortunately with the rubber strings there are ways around this. With that in mind, it's probably better for someone who wants a fun instrument to noodle at home vs gigging. Photos of the actual instrument: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kghn6e6ctjzx7cb/AAB5HRj1hlHILePzpw3Nruj6a?dl=0 As a point of comparison, I believe a new Kala U-bass will cost about 10x this. Collection only from London SE3 area, since shipping seems silly for an instrument of this value. Open to interesting trades and reasonable offers.

    90s Japanese Yamahas are superb. My TRB6 was my first bass and the build quality is incredible.

    Static noise coming from my Shuttle 9.0, whether an instrument is plugged in or not. Have tried re-seating and replacing the valve and nothing's changed. Does anyone have any other ideas, or have a recommendation for a good amp tech (or authorised service centre) in London area who deals with Genz/SS/Class D? Quite like this amp and would like to get it working again. https://instagram.com/p/BGKgy9wEeL6/

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1461104030' post='3031584'] The Protection Racket is a great gig-bag. Yes it`s as big (and almost the same weight) as a hard case, but due to the pockets so much more can be fitted into it. If doing a gig with a provided backline you can easily get all your leads and a couple of pedals in it, so only having to carry one item - great if limited room in the car or using public transport. [/quote] I have four Protection Racket gigbags and they're great apart from one small and one terrible flaw: they're a bit too big, and they stick out about a foot over my head, crashing into every doorway in sight. I have six Mono bags (bass double, electric double, bass Vertigo, two electric Vertigos and a dreadnought M80), and while they're not cheap they are worth every single penny. Fantastic gigbags.

    [quote name='herbass' timestamp='1465197648' post='3065924'] Are you sure it's 34" scale? [/quote] This is the Mk 1 (24 frets) which is 34" (or 33 7/8", I can't remember which). The Mk 2 has 26 frets and a 35" scale.
  12. therealting
    Yup, love my MV4 and the only way I'd part with it is for an MV5 or similar (:
  13. therealting
    Do you have the weight? Thanks! PM sent.
  14. therealting
    Aha, mine has the same issue so going to give this a go!

    [quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1464301920' post='3058379'] I went went for the MV4 59 sunburst when I got the Metro. I love it so much that the NYC is the exact same finish but with one extra string. I love the natural ones too. [/quote] Agreed, my MV4 is a work of art.
  24. therealting
    AAAARGH
  25. therealting
    Thanks for the reply. I'm very intrigued. Does it come up quite close to the strings, effectively making a sort of ramp? Is there room to slap and pop?
