I took the opportunity & bought this as The Word on them was Good. And it was.

It needed the bridge saddle lifted a little and the edges of the neck smoothed as they were a bit sharp, but that was all, really.

I put a set of Status Black Nylons on it, bought a Feedback Buster and a long leather strap, plus the Thomann gigbag for acoustic basses.

The nut could be a bit lower but I don't have suitable files, and there may be a wiring issue with the output jack, as it's eaten a couple of batteries in the last 3 months. Shouldn't be difficult to fix.

It's been to one rehearsal where I found that we play too loudly for it to be useful. It's been played a total of three sessions.

Costs to me were:

Bass - £47
Gigbag - £38
Strings- £32
Strap- £23

Plus investment in time to make adjustments & fit strings etc.

I'd like £120 plus P&P. I have the original packaging and will use only TNT or UPS. I might also trade. WHY?

Would be interested in trade with cash adjustment for a 5-sting Hohner B2A, however, a trade doesn't necessarily have to be another bass.

Would be very interested in a trade for a Squier Jaguar 5 string plus cash your way.

I had a 4 string version of this. A lot of bass for the money. Interesting what you said about the jack - now that I think about it, my Deko also ate a battery suspiciously quickly.

So does mine. I remove the battery and holder when not using it.
