Annoying Twit Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1390320057' post='2344008'] Lovely colour but can't help think that the Harley Benton vintage jazz with ash body and Wilkinson pups is a better buy tho and cheaper even with shipping.Also comes with quality strings too.

mcnach Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Mine will be delivered today, the tracking says "out for delivery" but it looks like I will not be in on time... Sometimes my neighbour picks parcels for me, if she's in... here's hoping. If not I'll just ask them to leave it at the depot for me to collect, which will mean Friday. tom1946 will beat me then Quote

I had a vision of her bringing your bass over and her saying 'It played fine, but I filed the nut and took a bit of relief out of the neck and now it's awesome'. Quote
CamdenRob Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Can't really justify buying one of these but they look great... Not sure if I prefer the Blue or the Green. Quote

mcnach Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 attempted delivery... missed it. tic tac... Quote
tom1946 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Got mine at 5.30pm. Nice build quality apart from the sharp fret edges. I can fix that though. Oh and the strings are sh>te. There are a couple of buzzy points that I can't get rid of so the frets need a scrape & level (basss D&C?) other than that it's a belter for the money. Quote
iconic Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Tom how do you intend to dress the fret side edges, mine are slightly sharp but only if I pick at them, can't feel them when playing. PS I must have been lucky with my fret leveling OE strings are quite bright aren't they! Quote
Immo Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Beautiful bass! And it looks like the Tele-shaped headstock mod is quite possible to do with it as well and I instantly thought about some lipstick pickups on it. Petty tempted, but I won't buy one in Poland, unfortunately. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Why wouldn't you buy one in Poland? Quote
tom1946 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I just used a fine file, VERY carefully then shielded the board and wire woolled the fret tops. works for me, they are better than they were. Quote

[/quote] No direct distribution, I'd need to order it from the site linked in the OP, however it's a bit risky and, of course, we have ridiculous tax policy recently, those freakin' bloodsuckers would take a last penny from a woman dying of hunger and trying to save her baby from gangrene. Maybe later Quote
