CamdenRob Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) [quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1435087763' post='2805392'] I got over excited... but apart from that I have no idea. Although I don't currently have a 5 string... [/quote] Me too... I am looking forward to it though. I think the main problem is going to be if its actually any good... In which case I'm liable to have this thread permantly open and buying Harley Benton deko basses could become a problem. Edited June 23, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote

CamdenRob Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I'm on the lookout for a backup seven string as well... This is my first venture into the murky world of HB dekos. Mrs C wants to use the PJ as an art project so it might turn out being a keeper regardless. Quote
kodiakblair Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Surely the answer to WHY is they were £25 and £33 Good news is Thomann really seem to be on the ball just now. I put an order in on Saturday and got it today,now they finish at 16.00 on Saturday and don't work Sunday so 2.5 working days Germany to Scotland. That's fast. You fellas could have them by Friday.

Annoying Twit Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) DEKOS! EDIT: Of course I was far too late. I just got back home, and posted as soon as I saw there were some more on the list, but they are all sold out. Having revised the thread, I'm pleased to see that some people nabbed some.

kodiakblair Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 That's the spirit Rob. I really hope the deko reason is minor as you pair gave me the jolt needed to play my own. There was a wireless unit and a padded strap from Thomann arrived today so the PJ 4 with chromes did the honours. What a great comfortable bass to play. Most of my dekos only needed a truss rod tweek and the JB-75 had a faulty tone pot so fingers crossed you have similar. Quote
kodiakblair Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 What went up AT ? I don't see anything other than the baby Warwick,Banjo and Reso. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1435094868' post='2805500'] What went up AT ? I don't see anything other than the baby Warwick,Banjo and Reso. [/quote] Around 7.20 pm there were PJ 4 and 5 stringers. From earlier the site indicated 7 decos but you could only see the 3 you mentioned, then around 7.24 the PJ's were available. When I looked (and thought do I need another one?) they were all still available too. Quote
kodiakblair Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Ah they must have found more then, I posted about those PJs around 5pm before CamdenRob and Bartleby bought theirs. Hoped there had been something new. Quote

I don't see anything other than the baby Warwick,Banjo and Reso. [/quote] The PJ5 and PJ4 from earlier were still on the main list, but clicking through revealed that they were 'sold out'. When I opened up my computer, my program thought they were new ones (it doesn't click through) and notified me. Given the speed that Dekos disappear, I posted first and asked questions later. TLDR; they were the same ones from 5pm. Edited June 24, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote
bartelby Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Mr AT! Your Deko alert system is becoming a bit slow these days! I'm very disappointed to find you have a life and don't sit there refreshing the Deko page 24/7!! In other news: Shipping confirmation!! Quote

Annoying Twit Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Congratulations on your shipping confirmations. These are the places that I was at between somewhere after 4pm and when I got home at 10:20pm.

I'm terribly impulsive and liable to end up with hundreds of basses and guitars I don't really need or have space for ...especially as I just reviewed some stuff and have a 20euro thomann voucher My clicking finger is poised should they post anything interesting today.

Coldflows Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I got a five string too. That will be my third deko for under £100. This is just silly. Quote
CamdenRob Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 How often do they post new stuff on average? Quote
Andytre Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 its a slippery slope i bought a jazz bass and 2 acoustic guitars in around a week! Quote

Andytre Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 That week, probably not that much, the week before on the other hand may have been different! Quote
Annoying Twit Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 I'm back home again, and was expecting to have seen a flurry of activity where everyone was buying deko BZ-7000s for £10 or so. Not tonight it seems. Quote
kodiakblair Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 No such luck AT. But if there was never fear I'd have got you one,would even have stretched to £11 Quote
