I've got one, and it's really well built and sounds pretty good if a bit low output, but as its my first 5 string I can't vouch on how flappy he B is compared to others, but feels good to me!

If it goes well I may do one, if it goes hideously wrong I'll pretend it never happened!

[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1442575487' post='2867907'] Go for it! You won't be disappointed. The herd will feel almost identical in your hands but each has it's own distinctive sound which makes these fun little basses even more fun to play. If you buy them 'deco' almost any part you replace on them will be more expansive than the bass itself. [/quote] iv already got spare pickups of all types, just need to do some routing practice!

those shorty P's are a bargain, i'm tempted to buy a herd of them and mod them since reading BlaBlas build diary thread!

aaarrgh! i've loved the look of those PB 50s for while! but i have far to many guitars and far too little money that another might send my missus over the edge! i suppose i could get one as a gift for her......

thsi is not helping with my[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Maruszczyk GAS![/font][/color]

+1 on the shorty P's! my deko one was fine apart from needing a good clean to its grimy fretboard

I'm on 6 Dekos, currently trying not to buy anymore!

That would explain it then ive had 50 euros worth already

I reviewed some gear not long ago, never got a voucher though I've kept the diadarios on my deko Jazz, quite like them!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1440598123' post='2852272'] I'm finding with my Progresiv Jazz, that when playing in Passive, if I switch to Active without turning the volume down, I get a loud "pop" go through the amp and speakers. Does anyone else get this? Or is this a super new feature that only i have the benefit of? Just wondering if I have a duff pre-amp, or is it designed that way. [/quote] Mine does that, it's louder when I first start using it but then it seems to be getting quieter everytime I use the push pull

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1440500111' post='2851240'] My back plate was the same, and it was the graphite shielding paint they use showing between the back plate itself from inside the cavity. [/quote] I'll take a look when I get in, I'm probably gonna dismantle it and have a good look while I wait for my tape wounds to come trough from strings direct! you gota be careful when join this thread it can be VERY addictive

Left jazz bass up at the mo as 'on request' http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75lh_na_vintage_ser_deko.htm

Some pics including one of the backplate, sorry about the quality I don't own a camera other than the one on my phone!

fretless progressive turned up this morning 10 minutes before i had to head out to work so only had a few minutes to have a play, it all seems to be in working order, the neck is nice and straight, the fret board is really nice and all the electronics and hardware seem sound, the setup seems fine to me and it only needed a quick tune to get it playing nicely, the only problem i can find in my rushed check over is that the rear panel that covers the electronics isn't cut perfectly and looks a bit rough around the edges other than that and the D stamps its quite a lovely guitar!

my progressive is still in Koln

Could have a whole team of them, fretless 4 fretted 4 and quilted 5, and probably for about £100

First time I've seen one of these come up, Mobile site only though it seems https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mm_84a_sb_deluxe_series.htm (Non deko link)

So many progressives up recently! Everyone will have one at this rate!

my fretless progressive is also in Koln, was hoping it might arrive today, but never mind!

that 6 string is tempting but i must resist i'm running out of space for gear! its either stop buying guitars or move house!

Woop! Shipping confirmation! I'm glad that necks getting some use rather than being stuck in the cupboard with all my other spares!

You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.....
