  1. See if you can pick up a Deko. Not a large outlay and 99% of the time you get a perfectly playable instrument.
  2. I think that is gorgeous! Congratulations!
  3. [quote name='basexperience' timestamp='1441627495' post='2860330'] Trace when they were UK based were definitely bastions of UK design and manufacturing. The latin is embossed in solder!! [/quote] That is so cool!
  4. Hey, I've not used this bass in years, I had a Nikki Sixx stage in school/college and have since moved on. I will be honest here, it is beat up but perfectly playable albeit with a high action at the moment. There are dings left right and centre, I've tried to take a picture of all of them. There is also a crack in the lacquer only not in the actual wood. I have moved the strap locks to prevent neck dive so the original holes are still there.

I think it has a gouge in the top which it came with. I will try and get a photo of that and the lacquer crack tomorrow. I currently have a Thomann cardboard box so can courier if buyer pays. Collection welcome or can meet at a suitable distance for a bit of petrol money. Based in Weston-super-Mare. £110
  5. My acoustic arrived! It's absolutely fine, I really do not see what is wrong with it! But that is enough for me, I hardly even play bass now so I honestly do not know why I bought it in the first place! Thinking I might move the Deko Jazz on. Haven't played it much since I bought it. I don't know.
  6. [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1440525374' post='2851598'] Several times now I've seen people reselling Deko instruments and necks (not on basschat), describing the stamp marks as small dents but failing to mention that they were sold as unplayable seconds for less than the price the resellers are asking. Is anyone else a bit uncomfortable with that? [/quote] I've seen someone from Basschat selling a Deko for £80. Admittedly he has said it is a Deko but still I thought that was ridiculous.. It didn't seem to have upgrades to it. Edit. Having thought about this more, the bass will have had a full setup so maybe not so ridiculous at all.
  7. [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1440181870' post='2848968'] Please tell me that you actually bought it. EDIT: Still available now. [/quote] Of course! I had before I even commented!
  8. HOLY MOLY! It's finally up! A four string fretted natural acoustic! http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_30_nt_acoustic_bassdeko.htm I have been waiting!
  9. [quote name='Philboyo' timestamp='1440099429' post='2848366'] Pictures yet? or even a description please? Thanks [/quote] Photos up
  10. [quote name='Philboyo' timestamp='1440099429' post='2848366'] Pictures yet? or even a description please? Thanks [/quote] Sorry! I will get pictures tomorrow. Description wise? Violin Burst. Haven't had the strings changed so comes with original strings and case. Has both attachments. Honestly not really sure what to say. It works fine, I just haven't used it
  11. Not sure they know what they're talking about
  12. Hello, Selling because I have come to the realisation that I probably will not be learning to play this after. I bought it off here about a year ago but I didn't have time to learn because of finishing university and since I have left and got a job I haven't got time or the energy to learn now. It's in good condition apart from a crack in the finish and not in the wood! A small dent in the neck which is low enough not to effect playability and even if you were a EUB wizard I imagine your thumb would be a different part of the neck to effected by this. Also there is minor shows of wear on the neck. Either way, the pictures will show all!

  14. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1438325626' post='2833507'] Nice looking Jazz there... good job it's sold out [/quote] I bought one previously and it is actually really good sounding
