I got a gator soft carry case for my shuttlemax 12.2 from Thomann for a good price, there well padded and have a few good sized pockets for cables and strings etc. I think it's designed for a smallish sized mixer but the genz fits in nicely. There loads of different sizes so should find one for wt800.

cheers guys, i tried loctitie and it still came off. its only a really shin ernie ball strap, the type you get for about £5, i havent had the problem with the schaller strp locks just these fender ones. i think im going down the washer route, i should have some black annodized looking ones at work so might "borrow" a few of them! cheers for the advice, if theres anymore ideas throw them this way, i have a fair few basses i could do different things to, to try them out!

I have a set of Fender strap locks on my fender P, there the ones that screw on kind of like a bottle top. I have no problems with the actual strap button attaching to the body there lovely and secure, it's the screw on part that hold the strap that constantly comes loose, I have to tighten it multiple times during a gig, Iv tried loctight, super glue even no more nails and yet they keep coming loose! Has anyone any ideas to solve it? Or should I just go back to the old standard of grolsch bottle tops over the buttons?

I order a TGI bag from bass direct expecting the black and blue one to replace the same one o had at home with a busted zip, but they sent a different one that is actully better, but not the same! might want to contact them before ordering (if you choose that one of course) The Thomann gig bags are very good, we use them at work for all the instruments we have (8 basses, 8 guitars and acoustic instruments) they all live in one when we take them out on Gigs never had a problem and they take a beating!!

i love a bitsa, currently have 4, 3 precision's and a jazz, built from a collection of ebay parts, old parts and bits from Thomann Dekos back when you had a chance of getting them, as many have said all worth nothing but i enjoyed building them as much as i enjoy playing them! also meant i could experiment with different pickups, preamps, bridges and necks!

The crappy picture below

And there gone! Finally got around to finishing a PJ deko project last night, £28 deko + a £39 Chinese eBay neck + a £5 Chinese active preamp and it's a beast of a bass! The neck is especially nice really good glossy finish and I really like the dark tint, the preamp is also surprisingly good for the price clean sounding and keeping the P-bass tone but with a bit more control with boost/cut bass and treble. Apologies about the awful picture I only have my phone and crappy lighting in my music room

neck just arrived! it looks pretty damn good, the finish seems really nice, actually really like the dark tint, and frets seem fine to me, cant wait to get in and put it on a body!! delivery was also surprisingly fast at 10 days!

i keep checking the deko site but never seem to get there in time to actually buy one! its probably for the best as i think iv got enough deko projects running without adding more!

Ordered! Cheers for the recommendation! How long did delivery take?

well after all this waiting for it to arrive the order was cancelled and i was refunded! typical! going to have to look for a different seller and try them out. i had my bitsa P all dismantled ready for it to arrive so a bit bummed out! i am expecting to do a bit of work when/if i ever get one delivered in the future but that's part of the fun isn't it!

Down to only 2 dekos o the Mobile site! I wish someone would buy that resonator though, getting sick of seeing it!

Still waiting on it to arrive delivery estimate was from Jan 19th to Feb 19th! On another point I bought a Ming on board preamp from China and that arrived in a week! When it's finally here I'll put up some pics and my thoughts

one maple, one rosewood, one with flats, one active, one short scale, one with 5 strings, one with 50's style single coil pup, one that's fretless and one that's my first ever bass that i keep for sentimental reasons, they all seem justified!

https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_bz_7000_nt_deko.htm?o=3&ref=mal_a_3&search=1452768654 7 string made a quick appearance, but sold out now

saw both the PB-J and the PB-50 go up, refrained from buying as i already own both in deko form

£61! far too much! haha

good luck! i'd be interested on your thoughts on the Les Paul [b]IF[/b] you get one! hopefully you will

Gutted I missed the 6 string again! They Always seem to turn up on days I'm too busy to check!

its starting to look like we have some stiff competition!
