adamg67 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1434478359' post='2800028'] I had a fair few of those on a £600 Overwater by Tanglewood bass. [/quote] 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldflows Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 LH Shorty Strat. http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_st_shorty_lh_bk_std_s_deko.htm Not really something to write home about, but I haven't found many dekos recently.

Coldflows Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 The app is called web alert. It's a pain to set up and you need to constantly switch to show desktop once it goes off in order to see the deals but it does work! Hopefully new bass will be here Tuesday! Maybe even two!

Annoying Twit Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Dekos! Right AND left handed standard precision basses. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pb_20_bk_standard_seri_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...d_seri_deko.htm[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pb_20bk_lh_standard_se_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ard_se_deko.htm[/url] 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.

Andytre Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 They've been on since around 11pm last night, probably the longest Iv seen some on for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited June 21, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Oh, I see. It doesn't say B-Stock on the 'normal' deko page. While not all dekos are labelled 'b-stock' there, I suspect that it's just a labelling change, not that those instruments are any more 'deko' than they usually are.

Coldflows Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
