HowieBass Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 What's the acoustic like? Is it salvageable as a playable instrument? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodma Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 There is only minor cosmetic damage. The bass is perfect for playing. Awesome for 44 squid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it salvageable as a playable instrument? [/quote] I'll try and get some decent closeup photos of the acoustic if they are of any interest. i haven't had any chance to check the whether the pickups, built in tuner/eq etc. work, but the bass itself is boomingly loud and was easy to tweak the truss rod to improve the action and make it really easy to play.

[/quote] it is lovely and is great fun. i still can't really believe what you can get for the money. the J&D did require a fair bit of adjustment after receiving it to get it playing well and to sort the intonation, but the acoustic didn't even need the truss rod adjusted really, i just wanted a tiny bit less relief.

Rodders Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Nice, I've gotten into buying cheap basses and doing them up, this isn't helping.. Has anyone else noticed that Jack & Danny wasn't the best choice for a name or is just me? Rhyming slang and all that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I still have GAS for the Harley Benton Deko fretless acoustic. Can someone please buy it before I weaken further. http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_35fl_nt_acoustic_bas_deko.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't just one of each as far as I'm aware, since the acoustic I bought is still available for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
