Do Thomann ship through Calais ? I placed an order last Saturday morning and it was delivered Tuesday morning. Could be deliveries to Scotland go a different route,maybe by air because that's very fast considering no-one works Sundays at Thomann. Sunday night orders always arrive Wednesday morning. 56 hours from order processed email to signing for goods being the norm.

For less than £300 I don't think you've done bad at all. A wee bit more spent on pickups etc and it'll be a fantastic bit of kit,certainly looks the part Most flaws will only get noticed when you point them out to folk so forget about them and enjoy your bass. Happy NBD

That's a bloody shame,just console yersel that £2 was really just part of the £52 more they had in Max Bid. Get down to Winchester and have a word about this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-Iceman-ICB250-BKFS-Bass-guitar-/201376194619?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ee2f4e03b Good Luck.

Paul_5 was discussing an Aria with very similar pickups just this week. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/264669-aria-diamond-series-bass-know-anything/ My money is on his being the better deal. JJW Did you get the Iceman last week ?

There's a fella Gullum on the Harley Benton forum who posted this. https://www.indabamusic.com/opportunities/jessi-malay-noises-remix-contest/submissions/f71b1f7a-16ba-11e5-a522-0e52404cc67c That's him using his B-650 and an L-450 guitar on some kind of wikiloops type track,sounds a bit quiet but I think the idea is to showcase the singer.Still Gulum is happy to use his B-650 and that says a lot for a £110 instrument

I'd saw those other basses Bassassin but I'm never 100% on the ruling here. Anyone interested better be quick Mr K says they're selling fast, as they should the green one looks great.

No such luck AT. But if there was never fear I'd have got you one,would even have stretched to £11

bartelby I just took the control plate off my Zygote,pretty big cavity there I'm afraid Plus point was both MM pickups are 4 wire so series/parallel wiring is an option. It works great on the Evo so now I'm itching to try it on the Zygote. That's the great thing about David's basses ,with him being a player and tinkerer modding options are part of the design.

I visited the Retrovibe site yesterday and there's been some changes,all for the good First the website has been tidied up and it appears there's been price changes, all 4 strings being £249. Dave's also got two new ranges The Angel and Super P. Gotta say the white Super P just shouts " Buy Me " Have a look for yourselves folks. http://www.retrovibe.co.uk/index.html

I'm glad to see your wait is over,must say it looks great. Am I right in thinking that it's cheaper today than in the late 70s,allowing for inflation.

Ah they must have found more then, I posted about those PJs around 5pm before CamdenRob and Bartleby bought theirs. Hoped there had been something new.

Also Seth Lover had the patent on humbucker pickups so this was the way to pretend it wasn't a humbucker. They still don't like to talk about that.

What went up AT ? I don't see anything other than the baby Warwick,Banjo and Reso.

That's the spirit Rob. I really hope the deko reason is minor as you pair gave me the jolt needed to play my own. There was a wireless unit and a padded strap from Thomann arrived today so the PJ 4 with chromes did the honours. What a great comfortable bass to play. Most of my dekos only needed a truss rod tweek and the JB-75 had a faulty tone pot so fingers crossed you have similar.

Surely the answer to WHY is they were £25 and £33 Good news is Thomann really seem to be on the ball just now. I put an order in on Saturday and got it today,now they finish at 16.00 on Saturday and don't work Sunday so 2.5 working days Germany to Scotland. That's fast. You fellas could have them by Friday.

The Black works very well. The whole thing works very well I imagine When you think the deko JB-20 is nearly the cheapest component of this bass I think it's amazing. £125 !!! What kind of looks and comments do you get from others when they hear this or even better get to play it ?

Congratulations both of you , it'll be the best £25 spent this week

Two fantastic examples there RickyV I've the other HB Jazz with the RW and blocks but it's still stock as I like the weird melted plastic look scratchplate

There's 4 and 5 string P/J basses listed just now.

Thanks very much Rob. I never set out to have so many,just a combination of the great basses out there and my lousy ability at selling. I'm lucky in that they are all to hand, not stored in cases like collectors pieces, so when anyone visits they just lift one and play it. This 91 Peavey Fury is a great playing and sounding bass but by Christ it's been through the wars. [attachment=194844:Fury (2).jpg] It's light at around 8-8.5 lbs and bits have been replaced like machineheads,knobs and string tree.The scratchplate has a heavy warp and is scratched to hell as is the body,very heavy attack with a pick. Puts me in mind of the Hi-Lux on Top Gear,kinda indestructible I've seen these go for between £99 to £130 last few years so fit right in with the price range here.Solid dependable P bass is the only way to describe it and it'll easy see another 20 odd years.

Wow where do I start ? Best value has to be my 5 string Peavey Foundation,bought last year for £50. Photo is reversed for some reason [attachment=194805:Peavey 5 (3).jpg] It was crazy cheap and I felt obliged to send the fella more money when it arrived I spend a lot of time playing the Harley Benton PB-50 though, £60 and strung with Status nylons £15 here's its mocked up with a Retrovibe toaster,it plays and sounds too good so I got another for that mod. [attachment=194806:Cabronita (1).jpg] If folk don't mind me posting I've plenty more had for less than the price limit.

Was just going to ask the same thing.

A B-250 in black as well. £33.60 http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_250_black_progressiv_deko.htm
