Thomann selling Harley Benton basses as 'Decoration only'

[Annoying Twit]

Good luck for the basses. It sounds as if you have very good plans for them.

Good luck, hope you got them. I was tempted, to put a P neck on a J body - but I don't have any more room!

[such]

thanks guys, I expect to find out tomorrow whether I got them. I'll still hunt for an acoustic fretless

[such]

Got them! Thanks for the support guys. Received the confirmation this morning, and the "shipped" notice few hours later. Will be over two weeks before I actually see them though (that's when I'm going where the basses are already headed).

[Annoying Twit]

Good luck for a good result.

Missed out again:( I'm the same, hoping to nab 1 for Xmas so I'm not 2 weeks without a bass

[ben4343]

P basses anyone? https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pb_20_bk_standard_seri_deko.htm?o=6&ref=mal_a_6&search=1449051221

Missed out on the vintage Tele that I really really want... Dagnabbit.

A whole lot of guitars appeared on the mobile site. This is the first time that my considerably rewritten program has actually found dekos, so I was pleased to see that working.

EDIT: They all disappeared quickly apart from the P-Bass mentioned above. But, at least I saw them. My old program had become useless as everything was appearing on the mobile site first, and selling out. My new one watches both. It doesn't have a GUI yet nor does it keep track of appearances and disappearances, but it will be easy to add that.

There's still a roundback acoustic guitar, and one of the cheap classicals. https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_cg200ce_bk_deko.htm?o=4&ref=mal_a_4&search=1449054684 Some people here have bought the CG200 before (I believe), so it's worth mentioning. Maybe.

I've got to stop reading this thread.

I keep telling myself that £30-40 for something that might turn out to be piece of junk is not a bargain, especially for someone with my very limited technical skills. I'm not going to be able to repair even minor defects.

Then the devil on my shoulder starts speaking -'You'll probably have some spare cash after Christmas, you want to try playing classic Motown lines on a p bass with flats, you know you do, one more bass won't take up that much room'.

Must stay strong (at least until after Christmas).

[allighatt0r]

I don't need a black P. I would like one of those Teles that keep appearing and selling out immediately though!

[Andytre]

i know right, we thought we were fast with getting the basses those pesky guitarists have perfected the art!

[Chienmortbb]

Really tempted by that Black P but as I am about o sell my Peavey Black P Bass copy it would be a waste. I must stop watching his thread.....but I probably won't.

I'm kinda glad, I managed to miss out on the Twin Humbucker Black Tele the other day and now the hollowbody PRS a like sold before I saw it too.
Would really love either of those but I need to sell on some other first otherwise I will end up divorced.

iv got the PRS copy only fault was a slightly raised 7th fret actually a very nice guitar but maybe not worth a divorce!

[Annoying Twit]

The guitarists have been buying them quick for years. If anyone wants a challenge, see if you can buy a Les Paul copy deko. Respect to anyone who manages it.

They turn up as dekos all the time.

Then again, they are only £70 at full price.

[Che]

70 bucks is way too expensive Oh man this Harley Benton is spoiling us big time

This is the first time my new program has picked up significant dekos in real time.

I had the natural and sunburst versions of the JB75 and they were both excellent instruments.... wouldn't have looked or felt out of place at twice / three times the full price, let alone if you managed to grab a playable deco...

It's still available even though the fretless prog has gone. I'm very tempted, but I don't need another 4 string fretted bass. I think it's far and away the best looking of the HB jazz basses.

im the same on the jazz! dont need one, dont really like jazzes, but its looks good and costs very little! also annoyed i missed that Strat looks pretty sweet!
