    That's kind of what I thought too.

    Thomann may not know that stuff is being delayed. DV247 would do, because it's coming to them from their German warehouse, so they themselves haven't received them.

    Pretty sure they will know, as everything they send out is tracked...!

    Just picked up the new issue, had a flick through and I'm looking forward to reading it.
    I have one gripe, which occurs regularly; in the review section, there are often reviews where there isn't a picture of the whole bass in one shot. Making it difficult to judge the overall aesthetic of the reviewed bass.

    Has been commented on before many times and agree is really irritating. Still the usual bloops as well, if you look at last months Barefaced review it talks about the "silver faced grill" Turn to the photo ...of a black grill!

    Brilliant. You might want to start buying 60W bulbs in bulk too….

    They must have few of these as I snagged one of these on Monday night and they have still been available since then. Interesting to see if the "damage picture" is just a generic one or if they have a few with the same ding.

    I think you'll find that is "D for Deco" and certainly not all Decos have got the stamp. Mine ain't and I know someone with a Fretless acoustic 5 that has not either

    if you pay through paypall there is no charge
    but i think paypalls exchange rates are a little iffy..
    i got sent the invoice from thomann for €19.30
    i paid through paypall at what [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]pay pall ch[/font]arge
    1 GBP = 1.34425 EUR
    €19.30 = £14.36 GBP

    [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]now really the rate should have been...[/font]
    [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]1 GBP = 1.4059 EUR (or.....1 EUR = 0.71128 GBP[/size][/font][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]...)[/size][/font]
    €19.30 = £13.72 GBP

    so paypall made 58p off me..just on the conversion
    i suspect tho that the more it is the less they take as a % on the rate.

    but no charge as that was taken out of what thoman get not what i sent.

    so now your probably wondering what on earth you can get from thomann for
    £14 ????
    check it out, check it out,,,,,,THOMANN RULE OK

    i needed a new midi card for my mackie Hdr24 and a new drive rack for another storage hard drive

    Pull out drive bay €109
    [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/mackie_media_tray.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._media_tray.htm[/url]

    Thats €512.68 worth of gear i needed for £14....... Yep £14 and they sent it [u]free[/u] and paid the paypall fees :o :o

    Im a very Happy Bunny :D
    Thanks Thomann, you have helped my beer fund tremendously

    How come they did not charge you postage on a total spend of £14? Mind on the savings you have made even with 10 euros postage that was still a bargain

    Just stumbled across this, apologies if it is already known...

    The Harley Benton basses are made by a company called Saein Musical Instrument Co., who have factories in both Korea and China.


    Saein was established in 1991 and in 1992 began manufacturing the Epiphone guitars for Gibson. They won "The Best Quality of the Year" award, presented by Gibson in 1998 and 1999.


    Saein currently are the OEM vendor for Ibanez and Peavey.

    Here's something completely similar from the same stable! (Wish I'd done the headstock the same colour as the body)
