The central line is the only line where the passengers do more miles than the trains!! 😁

Why is his tugbar at a funny angle? 😊

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.
