leonardobass Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Have you been happy with the acoustic dekos? I've been wanting to get one but i keep backing off from it,because they aren't as easy to fix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytre Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I got a black 4 string acoustic, and it was, as far as I can make out, perfect! The only problem was they put the sticker for a 5 string fretless inside it by accident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I bought a 5-string fretless and it had the right label, plus one scratch about a centimetre long on the upper side. No problems with playability or electrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 My four string fretless has a five string fretless label, as do the non-deko ones, it seems. It has limited sustain way up the neck, again as the non-deko ones seem to have. I'm very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianJuschkat Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 2 days ago I´ve got my acoustic 4 String. It was nearly perfect. The finish has some decent scratches. The fretboard seems to be dried out. And the 11th Fret on the G String is a dead spot, but hey... for 50€ - no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chained to the computer all day. Go out for a lunch break to a local nature reserve, and when I get back it's already listed.

Looking for a natural 4 string acoustic atm, they never seem to come up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMG Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Anyone any experience of the shipping of these? Ordered one last Monday, shipped on Tuesday and it hasn't moved from Koln since the 1st July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytre Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I've had a few problems with slow shipping lately but i think it's due to the trouble at Calais, but I may also be wrong. I order a shorty P on the 30th and its only just entered the country today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 There was a thread last week about the Calais situation and how the OP could see Thomann boxes in the back of an opened Artic Trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 They definitely must come direct to Scotland. In 12 orders I've never waited longer than 3 days from order shipped, allowing for Sundays Maybe you should send them via my house . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Why do I keep checking every evening and morning for dekos? I don't need any more basses. It's now part of my routine, like brushing my teeth, last thing at night and first thing in the morning. I DON'T NEED ANY MORE BASSES!

ChristianJuschkat Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 About the shipping duration. We have (had) a strike of the mailing company in germany. It lasted about 50 days and finished today. My guitar player still waits for his package - 3 weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andytre Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Shorty P arrived, took almost a week, had a quick look over and the only problem is the lower frets and fingerboard have some wierd gunk on them. His should clean up nicely though. Everything else works and after a set up should be pretty fun to play! It's also adorable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
