I have some on a short scale. I believe its because they are stiff and wound tight - you can't see any gaps between the windings.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1447268649' post='2906324'] The page format seems to have changed. I can't see a green in stock or red sold out. EDIT: It's "on request". People who have order those before have received them. [/quote] Got my prog that way. A popup on the Deko page says the following. Presumably the factory do the rejecting and send batches to Thomann, who probably never unbox anything: [color=#a52a2a][b]"on request[/b] Our supplier has not yet provided us with an expected delivery date. Kindly contact us for further thomann information or to see if we have a B-Stock or suitable alternative available."[/color]

I found the best cure for a Tbird neck dive is a P bass. You can thank me later

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1447117234' post='2905086'] That's a shame; they're darned good pianos, if somewhat heavy. [/quote] David Gilmour had one in his mansion on Rhodes.

Were those custom made? First looks like a B&Q type job, hardly suitable for 50 - 60 lbs total weight. Would the runner support 8-9 lb when fully extended? (based on experience of similar looking 'sock and knicker' draws falling apart!)

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1446806546' post='2902460']ning. Must say I don't particularly like the bass sound - a little coarse, particularly when heard higher in the mix. I guess the best available at the time and didn't really matter because it would be far less audible through a contemporary Dansette record player or Bush transistor radio. Even less so on MW stations. [/quote] I read somewhere it was also mixed low to stop pickup arms jumping out of the groove (but don't think that would apply to a Dansette! maybe to a more hi-fi radio station deck) scalpy, have you seen this?

These have not made it to the mobile site. Yesterday around mid day, a white Prog 4 appeared briefly https://m.thomann.de/gb/decorative_guitars_and_basses.html

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1446551178' post='2900185'] Wow! I must get around to finishing the rewrite of my program to use the mobile site to. [/quote] Mobile seems to be where new Dekos are listed first. They also hang around longer when sold, until new stuff appears it seems.

4 string Prog now gone. Also a JB75 is listed, lucky I don't like J necks ;-)

4 string and 7 STRING HB deckos. P bass gone already [url="https://m.thomann.de/gb/decorative_guitars_and_basses.html"]https://m.thomann.de...and_basses.html[/url] EDIT: listed as B stock

This topic seems to be suffering a bit due to the surfeit of overweight tribute bands. Saxophonist Junior Porker, of The All Stars, said in a statement today, he was not unduly worried by this, there were still plenty of well paying gigs to be had.
