as in decorative

a deco bass/ instrument is an instrument that is new but so sub quality they can only sell them cheap as a pretty wall hanging type thing mate

gonna try and do something about this scumbag today. its ok if you know what you are looking at , and also if you know how to research what you are buying. this guy has put most of his stuff as unbranded, you cannot research an "unbranded product ! it pains me that xmas has just passed, and i wonder how many parents have spent hard earned with this guy for a first guitar for a present only to end up buying a substandard product at more than market rate. he needs to be stopped ! got my letter writing head on today.

in fact i see "D" on a couple

just looked at the pb50 BIG ASS "D" ON THE NECK

thought as much. what a weasel !

gotta be something amiss unless they are all B stock and he gets em even cheaper. or as grangur suggested they are all deco's. either way i smell shennanigans and scullduggery

makes my blood boil.

its the fact that this "gent" goes to great lengths to leave out the HB logo in his pics , and if he does actually list a brand (which is rarely) he just puts HB. im off to take my blood pressure medicine now .lol

Harley benton pb50 £85 ish , special ebay seller price £100 + ONLY £12 postage Harley benton B450-LH £119 special ebay price £140 +£12 post Harley benton st-62 £96 ebay £100 +£12 post what a louse !

hi all had to get this off my chest. having my usual trawl through ebay for a gem or two and this guy keeps popping up. Seems hes in the habit of buying Harley benton guitars , adding a few quid listing them as unbranded and and flogging them for more than the market worth. is it just me or is that a bit .....well ....off ! by the looks of the guitars he has to offer he has invested quite a bit of dosh into building up his warehouse. saddens me that there are people watching some of his stuff and there is the possibility of someone getting mugged off ! call me an old softie but i never have got why people do s**tty things like that

I am right across that one Paul. Currently watching it. If it stays sensible price wise I may have it. Thanks for the heads up buddy

alyctes. if you get it buzz free drop me a pm i may be interested

now that mini jazz is real pretty

made up my mind . its a shorty for him. and ill get myself the pb50. would have had the £40 jobbie but warrington is a bit of a trip.

was having a look at the shorty but for some reason they only seem to available as b stock at the moment

Wow thanks for all the replies fellas. I have got about a weeks worth of research to do now. I have debated buying the thomman shorty before and oddly enough are just in the process of getting the pb50 for myself,I may have to rethink that.but the tanglewood looks tempting too Cheers guys

looking at uke basses too. that looks like a definate option.

all good advice chaps. I think as long as the action is fairly playable he wont be too fussed about sound perfection. i will invest in a "proper" bass for him or even give him one of mine when he proves its not just a 5 minute fad. as for the ibanez , that is beautiful looking ! i really like the look of that, i prefer short scale so i may just buy one for myself er... just to see if it will suit him. gonna have a trawl through the interweb to see if there is anything 1/2 scale that he can tinker with

Hi all. are there any basses out there that would fit a smallish 9 year old ? my boy is starting to take a real interest in bass (more importantly MY bass) i bought him a childs 6 string to try and satisfy his curiosity , but he has learnt the opening line to "another one bites the dust" amongst other bits and bobs on bass and is becoming a serious risk to my guitars. he just wants a bass ! anyone know of anything very light and very short scale that is not going to break the bank ? any advice would be appreciated cheers bob

each to their own i suppose, its noels opinion and he's entitled to it. and while we are on the subject of personal opinions after seeing noels effort when he played wont get fooled again with the Who he gave me the distinct opinion that he didnt like rock music as well after the way he slaughtered it.

gonna be greedy and have 3 .waiting for an alibi by thin lizzy, start by the jam and money by pink floyd

eq settings are fine on the amp , got to the bottom of the problem , the pup was sitting too low in the body cavity a bit more foam sorted it , as for the string adj i have the acursed 3 point bridge so im limited. but it is sounding loads better now. thanks fellas bob

thanks mate will give it a go
