    Just checked the Thomann website and most of the Harley Benton basses wont be available until after Xsmas.. i still think it's weird...

    But is it "normal" that it takes 3 to 4 months to get a new batch? The Ukebass i've been wanting to buy since June keeps being pushed back... And also: is that way of managing their stock good for their business ?

    Yes i did see that too. But if they follow the trend set by what happened with the HB-50, where people had to wait for months until they became available for a week, and now out of stock for another x months... Gives GAS plenty of time to drift towards other items from other manufacturers.. Like it happened for me, GASsing for a HB-35 Plus, but got an Ibanez AS83-STE on the second hand market for the same price...

    Now, even the new HB-50 (both colours) is out of stock for the next few months.. The Ukebass OPNT FL, same thing. The Ukebass OPNT, 9 to 12 weeks... IDK.. it does seem to me that they are having issues with their provider/factory. Does anyone have any info on what's going on?

    Didn't know about Thomann being also an instrument brand! Thanks for clarifying. Still frustrating though to have arrival dates pushed back repetitively and so far in time. If those instruments are so popular, surely they must miss out sales in favour of the second hand market...

    Hello everyone, Has anyone else noticed how a lot of Harley Benton products will only be in stock in x weeks? I wanted a HB-35 Plus guitar & a Ukebass from them but ended up getting an Ibanez semihollow on the second hand market & am on the lookout for a solidbody ukebass to pop up used here in France, as the model i want will only be available in 10 to 13 weeks (from 8 weeks announced in June already...). I wonder how many other sales they are missing because of those supply issues. I also noticed that on top of Harley Benton bass ukeleles, they now have a "Thomann" brand, made in Europe line of instruments. Does anyone know more about what's happening? Is there a problem with their factory/ies? Is this the end of Harley Benton? Are they moving production to Europe for good?

    Wait.. is it not "mice" when there is more than one???
  10. neil___lien
    So the new bass will be short scale then? Do we know if there'll be other finishes, by any chances??

    Hello @EddieG! Are U 100% sure about this? Is this not the HB-50 that was briefly seen at some of those big gear shows a few months back in orange & red? If so, they are long scale semi-hollows with a musicman-style humbucker. One Basschat member had the orange prototype and sold it here recently.. I am asking because i am really interested in getting a semi-hollow (i miss my long gone Rockbass Star Bass 32") & i cant afford anything that's on the market right now except Harley Bentons. But the HB-60 comes in just one finish for now. I sent them an email a few weeks back to see if by any chance they would make the HB-50 or HB-60 in finishes that i find the classiest (Dark Lake Placid Blue, Faded Pehlam Blue....) but they didn't feel i deserved to be told anything lol

    Does anyone know if there is a supply chain problem with goods coming from asia? I have noticed a lot of Squier & Harley Benton are currently out of stock with several weeks until they are delivered to Thomann. Not so with Sire, who have their own factory/ies. I have also noticed this in other online retailers...
  13. neil___lien

  14. neil___lien
    Aaargh.. So no semi hollow? But whyyyyy?!??!
