Andytre Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 yeah i liked the look of it! unfortunatly it was gone before i could get it i think the trouble at Calais causing delays, we bought new mixing desk for work from thomann and it took alot longer than usual to arrive! Quote
kodiakblair Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Do Thomann ship through Calais ? I placed an order last Saturday morning and it was delivered Tuesday morning. Could be deliveries to Scotland go a different route,maybe by air because that's very fast considering no-one works Sundays at Thomann. Sunday night orders always arrive Wednesday morning. 56 hours from order processed email to signing for goods being the norm. Quote

Andytre Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 God knows what took them so long it was over a week, from placing an order last Monday to delivery today, it's a big 32 channel desk so maybe it just took longer on freight or something Quote
miles'tone Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Are the dekos usually posted at night then, or could it be at any time? I'm keen but always too late! Quote
bartelby Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Not always. Sometimes mid afternoon or early morning. But they mostly come at night, mostly... Quote
kodiakblair Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 That's a helluva long time Andy. Even when I've ordered out of stock items they always arrive before the expected in-stock date. 32 channel desk they'd be waiting on the weightlifter delivery driver getting back from his holidays Quote
Andytre Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 That must of been it! its the first time theyve ever been late on a shipment so maybe ill let them off this time,[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1435314037' post='2807519'] Not always.

Andytre Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 luckily i didnt find any chaps in our mixer box! although we do need an assistant..... Quote
CamdenRob Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I wish someone would buy the banjo, that shiny doo dah and the mini thumb just to get them off the list... I find myself irrationally annoyed at them being there Edited June 26, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote
Andytre Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 i noticed the mini thumb is now 'due back in stock' has it been sold to a warrick nut? or has someone accidently bought it? Quote

kodiakblair Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Acoustic 4 & 5 strings are listed just now. Quote

No treble. EDIT: Kodaik Blair got there hours before me. It seems that I'm hopelessly out of touch with dekos now. I was fast asleep at 1:28am! Edited June 27, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote
Annoying Twit Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Really odd one here. A black jazz bass from the 1975 'vintage' jazz bass range. But, it's at near full price if not full price. What gives? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75mn_black_vintage_series.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...tage_series.htm[/url] The listing doesn't say deko (unless I missed it), only the first picture. ??????? @Myke G'wan g'wan. Edited June 27, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote
bartelby Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) wrong image I guess. EDIT: I hate the communications blackout over weekends... Not sure whether my 5 string will arrive Monday or Tuesday now... Edited June 27, 2015 by bartelby Quote
Annoying Twit Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Once it's with the courier, I thought you could continue tracking the item even when Thomann is closed. Though, I must admit that I don't remember seeing movement during the weekend. BTW: Returning to the topic of easy to turn truss rods. I'm now in possession of Andytre's 1975 jazz bass deko neck. The truss rod on that is very firm! I'm tempted to put some penetrating oil down there to see if it changes anything. I'm comparing the neck to the neck on my PJ5-HTR. They appear to be made out of exactly the same wood, maple with not the most attractive of grain. The JB neck is even more lightly finished than the PJ. The JB has binding while the PJ doesn't. The nut on the JB neck is loose, and I removed it. As many people have advised for attaching nuts, it was only held by what looks like a single blob of glue in the middle. I must admit that the JB nut feels really cheap, and the PJ nut seems to be of a better quality. However, that's just me guessing It could be that the harder feeling plastic of the JB nut is actually a better material for the job. Off to the repairs and technical forum to ask more questions. PS: Thanks Andytre! Quote
Andytre Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 No worries! Now that necks gone it means I can buy another bass.... Right?... Quote
kodiakblair Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 AT Apply the tip of your soldering iron to the truss rod nut,it'll expand allowing the oil to seep in better. Agree it's the wrong picture used for the black Jazz,no deko warning in the description. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the tip KB. And thanks again Andy. I'm now thinking that I'll try and fret dress the neck as practice, then I will defret it. If the defret appears to be successful, then I'll be after a deko jazz bass to put it in I think that the black 1975 bass with the maple neck does look rather nice.
