    NBW:  Harley Davidson B550FL, new one to replace the Dodgy B stock one Thomann took back.

      Why do I never learn.  Posting this made certain the delivery would be delayed or may never happen.  Delayed so far any road.

      I didn't know that Thomann were selling motorcycles. 😉😉

       

      I hope the deals they're offering are as competitive as those on their musical equipment.

    NBD Thursday. Yay! Just puilled the trigger on a B stock Harley Benton B550FL.  The regular stock is all out.  Keep reading amazing reviews so felt it had to be done. Even with a new set of chromes the bill is still only £225 ish.  Go figure.

    So my Evri delivery which at first 'couldn't be delivered' even before they'd picked up from the seller (300 miles away), and which was then guaranteed for Thursday, is now happening Friday. And we all know when Friday deliveries arrive - Monday.

      As binky_bass says, its at the very bottom of the upmarket boutique six pile.  It's mostly very good quality, although my older one has the two part bridge, which is a mare to adjust. And I'm not a fan of thick glossy finishes. EQ offers a massive range of sounds. Far from being hard to play it's transforming my playing for the better for reasons I don't yet understand. I took it to a practice because my main bass is being fixed but the Cort perfomed so well it's going to be my main axe frokm now on. Glad I bought it, on a whim.  Thanks whim.

    Just weighed my Harley Benton JB40FL. 10.6 lbs!! Now I may have set up the weigher thing wrong but if not...  Great bass, good sound, amazing value - and virtually unusable for a crumbly like me cos of weight.

      Yeah, thought that might be the case.  I guess slice n scoop the body would be easy with the right tools, but impossible without.

      I had a harley benton jazz, sounded perfect, eventually sold it because it was just too heavy to be comfortable

    NAD. Yesterday I played an Ampeg PF350 through a 410 Behringer at my local rehearsal studio.  Loved it.  Perfect for blues and rock n roll. And great value for just £250 new. So today I went out and bought a... Markbass LM3.  I know. It was a toss up.  It was just that an as-new MB LM3 for just £280 seemed to me to be a better deal than the Ampeg.  But I remain highly impressed, so for me 'NAD' means the day I discovered a new amp that floats my boat, even if I didn't buy it.

    Never agree to a courier delivery on a Friday.  It's POETS day, so for Friday delivery read Monday. I don't think I've ever had a Friday out-for-delivery that didn't end up held over til the next week.

      That's my rule of thumb too. It means that your goods are sitting in a warehouse over the weekend.

       

      As somebody who has been involved in pallet truck racing in warehouses I can only see this as a bad thing.

      LOL - I finally got fed up with the beach slap motif and went looking for Spidey again. You'll notice that it's not actually the one that got assassinated by the last Basschat upgrade, it's a smaller, lower-quality GIF than before, but what the hell ...

      surely a cross between the two would be more apropriate?

    NBD!  Actually thanks to Utterly Pathetic Service (UPS) and Interparcel who can't deliver on time, delivery will now be next week. But I have been waiting for six years to find a Hohner B Bass 5.  Only saw two for sale in all that time and both for sale abroad and expensive.  Just bought one in Bicester for under 200 notes. So another week isn't much.  See how tolerant I am?  Me nice.

      you don't want the transition to be too abrupt. start with them rolled up and lower the hem bit by bit.  I'm getting used to the 5er by adding a couple inches of B string every day until I'm up to the full 34.

      Good idea! What do you think, Y-Fronts or Boxers to start with..? It's still a bit chilly out.
