That's the difference afaic.
-
Are those rebadged Squiers being sold by a trading business like Limelight?
-
I'll take a picture of mine later. My action is low but in a way it's too low now since starting on regular double bass.
-
I've done a few mods to mine including £140 worth of Spiros but the best mod was the first one I did, chunk of grey foam that came in the box with it wedged behind the 'after length'.
-
To be fair I'd rather unknowingly buy a Limelight 'homage' than a genuine Ricky
-
That's true but they are Bitsas no more, no less. The bits are mass produced bits but they've been mass produced by someone else. I've kept my real fender and gigged it loads where most limelights have been sold on.
-
It would be a Bitsa just like a Limelight.
-
Maybe they should use that one on their basses
-
https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight00118jbass/ Interestingly cool and classic have chopped off all the fake logos in their gallery.
-
Not really, Fender and Squier are legally and financially linked, Limelight afaik have no legal right to use the Fender logo. *waits for discreet to tell me again that limelight have there own logo*, every limelight I've seen including Discreet's had a Fender logo.
-
I sold a Squier with a fake logo on here a few years ago, should I hand myself in?
-
I don't think BC need to change anything. The Limelight fad has mostly passed now anyway afaik?
-
I still feel the distinction is that Limelight is a business albeit a small one.
-
Copper or not this nonsense.
-
Would Limelight have been able to sell their basses for the same price without the copyrighted logo before they took off as the latest fad on here?
-
Fender have been in massive debt for years.
-
I've said this before and I still see it the same, an individual selling a one off self made bass with a logo is different to a business building copies including a well established copyrighted logo.
-
Bit of sandpaper and a can of laquer, ten minutes max. Lol
-
Any appetite for a double bass bash this year?

Count me in then -
4 quid sounds about fair, lol

I can do that date too, will there be cake? -
I can't see the Limelight fans being keen on the idea of banning fakes, lol.
-
I actually think the stagg (and it's rebadged versions) are more like a real DB to play than the fancier ones.
-
It's a shame that you've only just missed bonfire night, lol
-
Is there a music shop nearby where they could point you in the right direction? I'd be happy to let you have a tinker with mine for an afternoon if you're ever up in the Midlands.
