Annoying Twit Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I think I failed to actually post something I wrote for here. I thought I had posted showing a deko jazz bass going even quicker than before. [code] 2015-03-08 08:25:26: Notified: Harley Benton JB-20 SB Standard Seri Deko 2015-03-08 08:26:06: Notified: Bye bye Harley Benton JB-20 SB Standard Seri Deko [/code] And for me to comment that while I don't know electronics well, that I don't think a disconnected earth wire is enough to explain the lack of sound from RickyV's bass. I would have thought that would just give you a hum that disappears when you put your hand on the strings. Though, I still suspect that a bit of work with a soldering iron and multimeter will be enough to fix it.

Annoying Twit Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Dekos. Up. I'm tempted to buy this quickly before it disappears. Just competitive spirit, I don't actually really want it.

Vixivi Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just ordered the nylon electro acoustic guitar. Will just use it to fool around and probably use as a festival guitar, for 20 euro's it doesnt really matter if it has a few flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vixivi Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Your post made me buy it. Always fun to have another guitar, and for this price ill probably use it a lot and take it with me alot. I wouldnt worry as much about it getting beat up or such. (although i treat all my instruments with a lot of respect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 £14 pounds something wasn't it? It's good to know that my posts here are still useful. With the time between listing and disappearance becoming shorter and shorter, I wondered if even racing here at full speed and posting was introducing too much delay.

Vixivi Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 About £19.7 pounds including shipping (27.80 euro). I personally still find your posts very usefull, i actually always check basschat first. The notification system is quite helpfull, whenever i see 'Annoying Twit replied to ... ' i'm hoping for some deko's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_customline_clr_tricone_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ricone_deko.htm[/url] Very expensive for a deko.

Owen Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I got it. Just what I needed. The guy I bought the acoustic for loves playing bass but the acoustic is the size of a small country. I have flogged that and the Jazz will be fine and dandy for him. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Brilliant! I hope you enjoy it. I was tempted, but I don't think I need another fretted four string bass right now. If I saw one of the fretless jazzes go up, I might bite. Maybe. EDIT: Classical guitar gone. But, Owen got something out of this batch, which is a result.

I did some experiments before, and found that putting a deko into the shopping basket doesn't reserve it. Presumably it's not until actual check-out that it gets reserved. Or, perhaps even later than that, depending on how well their database works. I've thought of some other experiments to undertake which might help refine demo-grabbing strategies for the future. Hopefully you'll get one next time. Edited March 18, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitrobot Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) semi-acoustic classical guitar up for €20/£14 [url="http://www.thomann.de/ie/harley_benton_cg200ce_bk_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...0ce_bk_deko.htm[/url] Even if it is unplayable, the parts alone would cost much more than that.

Annoying Twit Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I came back from doing some work stuff, and found that the classical guitar had come and gone. Good to see that it's (barring formalities) going to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Back from swimming. Open up my computer. Dekos! White classical electro-acoustic.

Shorty strat. £11.85!!! http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_st_shortybk_standard_deko.htm EDIT: Shorty strat gone. Somebody is made of money.
