The 'deko' page shows available immediately, but clicking through to the instruments shows that they are sold out. Unfortunately I wasn't online at the time they went up, it's good to see that others are watching and posting too.

You are correct and obviously a more thorough chap than I!

I have it! :)

I was very nervous when I was opening it because I didn't know what was wrong with it. Almost nothing, it turns out. In fact so much so I don't know what is wrong with it. The only thing it might be is that it doesn't have a finish on the neck but I don't know if it is just super light coloured wood!

So very chuffed with it though and it comes with D'addario XLs which is brilliant!

Mine arrived at 7.30 this morning, had just enough time to check it over and plug it into my mixer for a quick test, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it except the finish isn't amazing on the rosewood fretboard near the body, but the electronics and build quality are fine and it sound, well it sounds like a jazz bass!

Here's a quick couple of photos before it gets demolished...
It's a really nice looking instrument, I may have to keep an eye out for a right handed version....

The only thing I could spot that might mean it's only Deko quality is the neck pocket is a bit off, but that might be because the neck has shifted.

And a there's a 3/4 mark on the back of the upper horn...


Considering the stings are £22, the pickups are £24 a set, the bridge is about £25. the whole thing for £27 is a bloody bargain!!
