True dat. Steels are still red. Nickles are blue. https://stargoat.com/products/rotosound-rs66ln-swing-bass-guitar-nickel-roundwound-strings-45-100

Maybe I would have been interested a few years ago, but I'm afraid they have left it far too long IMHO.

Theres an E flat??? 😲

I am a reasonably adept guitarist and bassist. I joined a band as a guitarist a few years back, but missed the bass, so went back to it. The thing I enjoyed most about guitar, was the way major and minor chords worked together. You can hear the way the bass complements them.

Hmm. Aren't they made in China? 😊

Is it me? Or has the price of these crept up recently? I can see a few for sale at about £9.99 but with silly postage prices. Perhaps the words got out! 😆

Is it just for home practice or are you playing live gigs?

The relic thing can be a bit marmite. Either you like it or you dont. However, It did end up like that I,m afraid.

Thanks for doing that WOT. I wasnt gonna bother Mark its just a minor niggle. Athough me or the guitar tech could not get anything to move even after soaking them overnight.

Revolution 9

The new bridge is now installed, now back to normal service. 👍

No I am. It was only supposed to be a medium relic. Its the picture in the OP.

No amount of WD 40 can save these puppies.

I had an OLP and it wasnt too bad. It was passive though as opposed to the active stingrays. There was a thread on talkbass by someone who was in the same boat as you. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/passive-musicman-pickup.703397/

My 63 Sonic Blue P bass bridge has completely rusted to bits. The level of relicing was so over the top that I couldnt raise the saddles or intonate it because it had completely seized. I have had to have the whole lot replaced and I havent had it a year yet. 🤬 Any other Limelighters had this problem?

Maybe this thread should be titled 'Sellers Remorse'

Tom Bornemann is one of my go to you tubers.

Just bought one of these at a really good price. However, the user manual is in every language but English. Can I store preset effects like chorus and overdrive for a quick selection rather than scroll through pages of effects to get to the one I want? A quick google doesnt have much about the workings of the unit only really the sounds of it.

I dunno about Norman on London calling, but I believe Topper Headon played bass on Rock the casbah.

Everybody in our band can choose 2 songs each whether the others like them or not. As its a classic rock covers band they are usually within the genre. When it gets to rehearsal though, we often discover that some of the songs we cant carry off and they are dropped.

The black suits that Jazz. I like the way it matches the pups and the knobs.

Well, white or black?? 😊😊

Well, those strings havent been changed in 40 years. If its good enough for them...... ! 😁

Thanks. I have ordered a black one for this.
