Thomann selling Harley Benton basses as 'Decoration only'


Recommended Posts

I got a black 4 string acoustic, and it was, as far as I can make out, perfect! The only problem was they put the sticker for a 5 string fretless inside it by accident

I bought a 5-string fretless and it had the right label, plus one scratch about a centimetre long on the upper side. No problems with playability or electrics.

2 days ago I´ve got my acoustic 4 String. It was nearly perfect.
The finish has some decent scratches. The fretboard seems to be dried out. And the 11th Fret on the G String is a dead spot, but hey... for 50€ - no problem

DEKO!

5 string acoustic.

EDIT: Surprised that nobody beat me to it. Chained to the computer all day. Go out for a lunch break to a local nature reserve, and when I get back it's already listed.

Ah, it's alright, I didn't really need it but I couldn't fight the impulse buy. I still think I'd buy another one though!

Looking for a natural 4 string acoustic atm, they never seem to come up though.

Anyone any experience of the shipping of these?

Ordered one last Monday, shipped on Tuesday and it hasn't moved from Koln since the 1st July!

I've had a few problems with slow shipping lately but i think it's due to the trouble at Calais, but I may also be wrong. I order a shorty P on the 30th and its only just entered the country today

That has been my experience every Thomann order. They stay in Cologne for ages.

They definitely must come direct to Scotland.

In 12 orders I've never waited longer than 3 days from order shipped, allowing for Sundays

Maybe you should send them via my house :D .

2 days is the longest either of my orders has hung around in Cologne. I did notice once it was in the UK it took 24 hours for the tracking to update to say it had arrived in the UK.
Here's both my orders

Why do I keep checking every evening and morning for dekos?

I don't need any more basses.

It's now part of my routine, like brushing my teeth, last thing at night and first thing in the morning.

I DON'T NEED ANY MORE BASSES!

Shorty P arrived, took almost a week, had a quick look over and the only problem is the lower frets and fingerboard have some wierd gunk on them. His should clean up nicely though. Everything else works and after a set up should be pretty fun to play! It's also adorable!

About the shipping duration.
We have (had) a strike of the mailing company in germany.
It lasted about 50 days and finished today. My guitar player still waits for his package - 3 weeks now.

Blimey. Does that mean 50 days of backlogged parcels to clear?That could take a while!
