Thomann selling Harley Benton basses as 'Decoration only'

I think I failed to actually post something I wrote for here. I thought I had posted showing a deko jazz bass going even quicker than before.

And for me to comment that while I don't know electronics well, that I don't think a disconnected earth wire is enough to explain the lack of sound from RickyV's bass. I would have thought that would just give you a hum that disappears when you put your hand on the strings. Though, I still suspect that a bit of work with a soldering iron and multimeter will be enough to fix it.

Dekos. Up.

I'm tempted to buy this quickly before it disappears. Just competitive spirit, I don't actually really want it.

EDIT: All gone except for a black nylon electro acoustic.

EDIT: Classical guitar gone too.

Just ordered the nylon electro acoustic guitar.
Will just use it to fool around and probably use as a festival guitar, for 20 euro's it doesnt really matter if it has a few flaws.

I listened to the samples and it sounds pretty decent to me. Were you prompted by my post, or did you find it independently?

Your post made me buy it. :D
Always fun to have another guitar, and for this price ill probably use it a lot and take it with me alot. I wouldnt worry as much about it getting beat up or such. (although i treat all my instruments with a lot of respect)

About £19.7 pounds including shipping (27.80 euro).

I personally still find your posts very usefull, i actually always check basschat first.
The notification system is quite helpfull, whenever i see 'Annoying Twit replied to ... ' i'm hoping for some deko's :lol:

It's good to know that my posts here are still useful. With the time between listing and disappearance becoming shorter and shorter, I wondered if even racing here at full speed and posting was introducing too much delay.

Yep, keep your posts coming. Still hoping to get a deko acoustic bass at some point, although the chances at the mo would appear slim.

Standard Jazz Bass Deko

[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_20_sb_standard_seri_deko.htm"]Harley Benton JB-20 SB Standard Seri Deko [/url]

Also, classical guitar and some sort of SG copy. EDIT: SG gone. JB still there. £27 and change.

Classical guitar is now £13.82. The Euro must still be heading south.

Yep, my program just told me through the speech synthesiser. :) Anyone here get one/it?

EDIT: It was up for seven minutes. That isn't too bad. The bolt-on SG copy disappeared in nearly exactly one minute.

Brilliant! I hope you enjoy it.

I was tempted, but I don't think I need another fretted four string bass right now. If I saw one of the fretless jazzes go up, I might bite. Maybe.

EDIT: Classical guitar gone. But, Owen got something out of this batch, which is a result.

And then I got an email saying that they have run out of stock :(
[/quote]

Ah. I did some experiments before, and found that putting a deko into the shopping basket doesn't reserve it. Presumably it's not until actual check-out that it gets reserved. Or, perhaps even later than that, depending on how well their database works.

I've thought of some other experiments to undertake which might help refine demo-grabbing strategies for the future.

Hopefully you'll get one next time.

Thanks, just pulled the trigger on that, (don't know why as I don't play guitar!) Maybe just to see if I can fix it? It actually says "only a few items in stock", does that infer there are more than 1?
[/quote]

"item is sold out" :D

Been confirmed, it will be on its way to me shortly! Thanks alittlebitrobot!

No bother. I thought about getting it just for the piezo and preamp, but the shipping nudged it past what I could justify for an [i]absolutely [/i]unnecessary purchase.

Back from swimming. Open up my computer. Dekos!

White classical electro-acoustic. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_cg200ce_wh_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...0ce_wh_deko.htm[/url]

IMHO the black ones look better. But hey, it's £13 something.

Shorty strat. £11.85!!! http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_st_shortybk_standard_deko.htm

EDIT: Shorty strat gone. Somebody is made of money.
