SyeJam Compression Gloves Review

 

Bought mine from eBay. It was straight-forward transaction and delivered on time. But it was like 4-5 days. The breathable fabric is ok. I bought a medium size glove. Tried using it while playing the guitar but it's a bit tricky because it's a compression gloves so it's a bit tight. 

Been using this for quite a while now and I don't see or feel any benefits yet. I think it's good as a glove that will keep your fingers and hands warm but the therapeutic claim is yet to be proven. Also because it's a bit too tight, it can be uncomfortable for prolonged hours of use. I feel like my fingers are getting numb. Im not sure if it's intended that way. Anyways, Im still happy with my purchase because it feels like with this cold weather, it's helping my hands to stay warm. 

How long to inflate and deflate the Trespass Double Premium Raised Air Bed

 

Trespas Double Raised Air Bed Inflatable Mattress from Argos

PVC mattress. 

Internal coil structure for enhanced support.

Airtight system. 

Double lock valve.

I don't think that it is fully inflated in 140 seconds and the 25 seconds was too short to fully deflate this unit.  I think the manufacturer claims on the instructional manual as 5 minutes to inflate and 5 minutes to deflate which is ideal because on the test that I've done it didn't reach 5 minutes but when I deflated it, it was close to 5 minutes. There's only few seconds left or under a minute.

I did not use the inflatable pillows because it's too thin and you have to inflate it manually. Good thing I got a pump for my son's bicycle. Also another annoying thing about the pillows is that it's got like a hook at the back which you can connect on the bed. So if you don't use the pillow, that thing is protruding on the bed. Apart from these, I think the unit is lovely.

Are you looking for a shortscale bass guitar gigbag?

Here's the solution if you are like me that is looking for a softcase or a gigbag for your shortscale bass guitar. I recently bought a Harley Benton PB Shorty and I love it. So in preparation for me to go live gigs, band rehearsals, busking and travels, I will need a carry case or a gigbag. I had hard time looking for a shortscale gigbag. There's not many around and the measurement of this Harley Benton PB shorty is like in the middle. So if I buy a regular bass gigbag it will be too big and loose. If I buy or use my electric guitar gigbag, it's shorter like an inch or two. So I was in a dilemma. 

Good thing I found this Thomann BeatBass gigbag and the measurement even though it's not exactly the same as the Harley Benton PB Shorty, but looks like it will work. So I measured my bass and compare it and yeah it fits. there few cm extra here and there but it's not massive difference. 

Also I've read on some review that the Fender Bronco fits this gigbag as well. So that was the one that made me decide to buy this gigbag.

Hope this helps you guys. 

Here's the details of this gigbag:

• With backpack straps
• 20 mm foam padding
• Metal fittings
• External pocket
• Inner dimensions: 112 x 34 x 11 cm
• Suitable for Harley Benton Beat-Bass

 

Harley Benton PB Shorty Review and Unboxing

Here's the link if you're interested to buy this bass: Harley Benton PB Shorty

I recently bought this shortscale bass from Thomann which is called Harley Benton PB Shorty. It's really nice bass guitar especially for beginner like myself. Also because I am a guitarist and Im so use to small guitar this is a very good transition for me.

Out of the box I just tuned the bass and immediately able to play with it. It was also delivered on time and well packed and safe during transport. The sound quality of this bass is very good considering its pricepoint. I only paid £77 for the bass, VAT and delivery fee. By the way, I bought this as B-stock bass.

The frets were a bit sharp but I filed it and it made a big difference. Im quite happy with the setup. The action is okay for me but may be some might find it a bit high. But to me I think it's a regular height. The intonation needs a bit of attention especially on the upper part of the fretboard but it can be remedied by getting the bass setup by a professional. 

Overall I love it and will be keeping this bass.
