I had a fair few of those on a £600 Overwater by Tanglewood bass.

Yeah, I fell for the Overwater name as well, though only when they were selling off the last ones half price. First bass went back, on the second the electronics had to be replaced (done by Tanglewood under warrnaty), neck seriously worked on (paid for by me) and there are some other cosmetic issues. I should have got a Deko bass from Thomann instead!

If anyone is interested, I have a good way of keeping an eye on it while I'm out and about, I downloaded a page tracking app for android and set it up to tell me when ever it changes from 1-3 to anything else, thus sending me a notification. It's pretty fast.

That was me again!

I sold the left handed one I brought by accident. I'm hoping the new jazz is as good!

Good good!


I'm going to be on the look out for a couple of other Dekos next month...

Dekos!

Right AND left handed standard precision basses.

Why is the left handed bass £6 more than the right handed bass?

Courtesy of me accidentally leaving my computer on, I know that these went up at 4:17am this morning. So, they've been around for two hours.

They started going on last night, but something odd happened with Thomann's site, and they were appearing and instantly disappearing again. So quickly that the auto-loaded webpage I saw didn't have them. They went up at 11:25:41pm, and then disappeared at 11:25:46pm, which is as fast as my program can detect them disappearing. They then returned at 12:13:18am, and disappeared at the exact same time. I'm not sure how that can happen. When they returned at 04:17:43am, they then stayed on the system.

The right handed P-bass is now sold out. The left handed version is still for sale.

I was going to get the P bass but the fact it was a "b stock" deko put me off. If it's been returned by someone (makes it b stock) then I'd be worried it was genuinely unplayable.

Where does it say that it is a 'b stock' deko? I had a look at the listing, and can't see it.

I've returned Basses because of cosmetic issues that would make them B Stock, in fact thinking about I've returned B Stock items too. (I see the confusion re BK has been resolved)

The jazz bass turned up today. Couple of Knicks all over but otherwise good, with a nasty case of fret buzz. Lifted the saddles and played with the truss rod and made no difference. Ended up putting a shim under the nut and after a bit more trus rod adjusting I got it playable apart from the 10-12 fret on the d and g strings.

What does everyone know about filing frets? They seem a little uneven. I think the whole thing needs breaking in.
