kodiakblair Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I know what you mean Rob. There one fella has about 6 Was,they look perfect . If you fancy joining the hoarding group you'll be welcome. If it makes you feel better one hoarder has 167 basses,gotta be a record Quote
Annoying Twit Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Dekos might be a reasonable strategy in case of bass hoarding. In that they only cost £20-50 each, so there is less financial damage through buying a lot of them. Unless you have to build an extension to your house in order to keep them all. It looks like everything is sold out now, except for the left handed Jazz Bass. And the black acoustic bass is still available. But, it does look like we managed a good haul from this batch. Who was it that wanted a four string fretted bass, but they wanted the natural one? I feel your pain at having the black one available for so long, but neither hide nor hair has been seen of the natural for a long time. My parcel-force employed friend was very pleased to hear of the shipping confirmation email. It's most likely going to be him delivering the next batch to me. I've asked him to leave it with me for a day or so, so that I can check it. Edited July 24, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote

Annoying Twit Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Odd, they seem to have dispatched my order as two separate packages. Quote

[/quote] I think the best collections are those that are amassed over time, each instrument considered and bought individually, but buying loads of dekos in one go could certainly fill a room or two... they are such excellent value.

[/quote] Yes, to avoid issues at the Channel Ports, they separate the bodies and necks now and ship them in different boxes. However full instructions are included to build them back again.... Quote

[/quote] Of course not but according to the bass hoarding group I'm passed level 5!!! [b][b]21+ Final Stage[/b]. [/b][color=#D0D0D0][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]You made it. You are the happiest of the hoarders. You no longer deny or try to mask your disorder. Your attitude has evolved to the point of -what the ****!- “I am a hoarder, so what?!” You snicker at the noobs posting how many basses they have and scoff at their attempts to attain approval and otherwise normalize their behavior. You rarely respond to posts involving these matters unless it is to set someone straight on the matter, and you end your posts with an exclamation mark.[/font][/color] Quote
Annoying Twit Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 I seem to be free of this. My current purchase from Thomann includes four instrument cases of different types and shapes, but no new basses. Is it sensible that I've bought a case for my deko fretless acoustic that costs almost half as much as the bass did? Quote
