planer Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That's cool mate - I'll be happy if mine is playable, I'm realistic about what I'm getting for £40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually in the UK by now, no sign of mine on the tracking Maybe a tracking notification delay though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planer Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Mine arrived in the UK late last night, so fingers crossed yours did too. Looks like I will get it for Chrimbo after all *dances round the kitchen* :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfretrock Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes, Looks good, seems to be only 24 hours later than usual due to seasonal demand. Mine left local depot heading for delivery at work - but I'm off today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planer Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Ha - I've got the opposite problem, mine is being delivered to home and I'm at work! I just hope my wife is in when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Mine's been out for delivery from Coventry since 8:24 and it's nearly 8 hours later and it's still not here. It's only half an hour from Coventry to here. Damn these long multidrop routes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfretrock Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Delivered! Used the last gallon of fuel driving into work to collect bass before taking car to scrappie. £50 + NBD + NCD Good luck with your deliveries. I must be on a 'hot' ParcelFarce route... Bass looks OK, can't find any faults except crappy strings - but that may be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Mine arrived at 19:30 or so, so that was a long day for the driver. 5-string fretless. Only obvious (not very) defect is a small scratch to the top of the top bout. There's a design flaw, in that the dot markers are in the fretted, not the fretless, position. 4-band EQ with volume and presence (I think presence is a contour type control), and built-in LCD tuner. Output via jack or XLR. No obvious buzzes or rattles; there was a rattle from the bass when I first unpacked it, but as soon as I'd managed to shake the silica gel bag out of the soundhole, it went away. Strings are bronze and rather heavy for my liking, so they'll get replaced sometime soon (which will double the price of the bass). Well worth £26.

kodiakblair Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I know that Karlfer's bass and the 414 are two different animals but I wouldn't like anybody to start making comparisons. He's got a cracking bass there so I'm quite happy to take a back seat today. Definitely will do one tomorrow, I've some goodies to pick up from Parcel Force's Edinburgh depot.

kodiakblair Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ah that would be telling AT On track here though a friend in Spain who promised himself No Basses 2014 has just bought a Deko 5 string fretless. I swore I'd stop sending him links cause he'd blocked Thomann in his browser. Then I just happened to mention the Dekos and how a bunch of us here had them, this was on another site and about the other bass when he mailed me to say he'd weakened. I hope he gets lucky and it arrives before Christmas and that the other box from Thomann his wife bought him contains the other bass.
