Che

Im patient especially when I have all these Christmas cookies around me all the time (munching away ... )

Congrats on your new toy Im yet to get a tele from HB maybe your review will make me buy it (please post a link to your recording of this guitar or a simple demo)

I agree, the bass makers sure go much more into plain oiled wooden bodies which looks awesome. Guitar makes just love that darn lacker and paint don't they
I was thinking to make a few relic bodies like this and also relic the hardware and then sell it on ebay as a DIY Kit. Will see when I have time for this though ...

Its all good Dad no need for apologies Ok I m familiar with 'pulling your leg' but 'ragging you' and 'joshing' is new to me Im learning new words here on Bass Chat thanks to you

What went wrong Dad ? Ya know, me from another continent, humor wise can be challenging to get it

Here is the sound check; it sounds OK-ish through the Plexi Tone on my Digitech RP70. I will get some better vintage pup in the future maybe Entwistle or else ...

This Harley Benton was a Sunburst originally so I decided to scrape all that paint and laminate off and did this;

Oil and wax finish

I have added a solo guitar part to my existing tune because I felt something was missing "above" the composition, nothing much though. I will post the new version in the original post above

70 bucks is way too expensive Oh man this Harley Benton is spoiling us big time

I ordered the HBO850 today and received this email now;
[quote]Dear Customer

Thank you for your order. Unfortunately the HARLEY BENTON HBO850 BK DEKO is sold out. Your order has been cancelled.[/quote]

Bugger !!! I really need a acoustic guitar with a preamp ....

Slow down guys.

To be honest its easy to make such short tunes as mine are. I also do only one take for each instrument and then fix them up with FX and such, hiding the imperfections (lazy as I am). What Dad is doing is more complex indeed

Have fun ya all, we are already all lucky to be able to play and make music, considering how many out there on this planet are being without food let alone without instruments.

Its interesting to see Dad's entry being about hope and mine about apocalypse Together they form Yin-Yang, perfect balance between the Dark and Light forces This might inspire a new version ......

My December entry called [b]"2 minutes to Apocalypse aka Drink up, the time is up!"[/b]

[url="https://soundcloud.com/papa-dusko/2-minutes-to-apocalypse-aka-drink-up-the-time-is-up-final-version"]https://soundcloud.c...p-final-version[/url]

Long story short; humans destroyed life on Earth with ignorance and greed. There is only 2 minutes left to total apocalypse on Earth and the old bartender is saying "Drink up, the time is up"! Shocked lifeless faces stare at him not fully understanding whats about to happen ...

EDIT; This is my final version for this competition!

Thats what I plan to do; buy a cheap Behringer pre amp and plug into my Behringer U-Phoria UM2 interface for practice but I will also need to plug the interface into the usb on laptop. The interface has the Direct Monitoring for plugging in the headphones so yes you can do that.

Well done everyone! And congrats to Skol!

Once again (at midnight, 25th...), the votes don't add up to a multiple of three..! Spooky..!

Just in case my post had inspired this reply I was the one who VOTED FIRST

I never ever had any Roland logo pics in my history, not in my computer, not on my Photobucket, so ... If it is some sort of a BUG then how come that BUG placed a logo of an instrument manufacturer on a music forum? hm ... interesting

Its such a joy reading your poetic writing Dad Good man!

Yes I too can now see the single cut and the bass but Im serious there was a Roland logo yesterday there. I was stupid not to take a screen pic.

Look what we have missed https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbz_2005_deko.htm?o=6&ref=mal_a_6&search=1448577972

Im a bit shocked to see that someone changed my avatar pic. I had my own photo of a single cut guitar and a Jazz bass and today I see this Roland sign!!! I never ever had anything from Roland who is doing this???

Thank you Admins for shedding some light over this mystery

I forgot to mention that I also voted; is it mandatory to mention one had voted? (cant find that darn rule book)

Personally if it were me I would get something like a Yamaha for that money
[/quote]

Why? According to folks I corresponded to this very one mentioned here is in the Martin class. This is not a beginner guitar, don't be fooled by the price

We have a meber over at The Harley Benton Club forum and he has the 2 most expensive HB acoustic guitars + the Parlor HB too. Yes he also has the one you are after. After he got them he sold his Martin guitar not a joke, he thinks these high end HB acoustics are as good as the Martin he had but for FAR LESS money, you can ask him yourself over at theharleybentonclub.proboards.com

My JB-75NA came up Saturday midnight and I snatched it immediateeeellly I was looking all day every day for a week and it happened! Great bass me happy!

Thanks Maude for suggesting those head phones I have bookmarked them for "soon to buy"

Im already a happy Behringer user (U-Phoria UM2 interface) so will trust your review on those monitors! That seller does not post to Denmark for some strange reason well well, will try and find another one.
