What is the waiting time for a new Limelight build?

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1467044031' post='3080732'] Bruce Foxton. Love his tone on Eton Rifles. [/quote] Not really Jazzy or Funky though.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1466945933' post='3079871'] It was nice to see Squeeze again. When did they get a female bassist? She were all reet like. [/quote] Yes, she was excellent. Her timing and feel were excellent. I wonder if she is a hired hand or permanent member?

Chris Martin is steaming!

ELO, Squeeze and Madness were good (But what was that Highway To Hell all about?) Also quite enjoyed Ronnie Spector. Not bad for someone who spent 30 years locked in a cupboard.

What pickups do they use in these?

[quote name='Barking Spiders' timestamp='1466676348' post='3077766'] Hi there Gary Mac. Stuart Morrow was the original bassist for New Model Army and Leigh Gorman was in Bow Wow Wow[/quote] And Leigh was in Adam And The Ants before they had hit records.

I wonder if this was the last straw?[/sup][/size][/font] [/quote] It was probably using the bedroom curtains as a speaker grill that was the last straw for his wife!

P for me, Mainly because I find the narrow nut width is not really my thing.

Norman Reedus who plays Darryl in The Walking Dead is a low end thumper.[attachment=221849:13423947_963557727094971_7909571985451174420_n.jpg]

Not at the moment, but have you considered one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/P-bass-by-PCGC-Hohner-of-Germany-/191879806297?hash=item2caced7d59:g:dBYAAOSwLpdW9Bv3

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1466099754' post='3073389'] Fair enough. I'm happy too, all these Limelight shenanigans are giving me horrendous Limelight GAS. [/quote] I shall keep an eye for your Limelight Wanted ad.

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1466001123' post='3072741'] the wait til October is killing me [/quote] Me too! - Thats when the next series of The Walking Dead is back!

He has been using that Nate Mendel more and more often these days.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1465929566' post='3072241'] Ultimately it's good - because it means I can now order another Limelight P. Only in white, this time. [/quote] Incidentally, Your old Limelights serial number when entered into the database comes up with 1962 not 1963. [b] Guitar Info[/b] Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - Pre CBS Era), USA in 1962 Production Number: 80728

The headstock looks like the 77 P in this link. Thats all the help I can give, I'm afraid. http://101basses.com/bass-number-81-1977-lefty-fender-precision/

I had a 77. It weighed a ton!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1465899824' post='3071910'] Well, you can, actually... buy a Limelight bass, sell it, then get massive seller's remorse. Twice. [/quote]

I used the Limelight I bought from Discreet [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275912-nbd-limelight-dakota-red-precision-bass-1963-audio"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275912-nbd-limelight-dakota-red-precision-bass-1963-audio [/url] at a gig last Saturday night. I dont know what Mark uses for his pickups, but put through my Markbass 121 and the New York ext speaker, It sounded bloody amazing!!

Are you looking for one? - Maybe try an ad in the I[u]tems Wanted[/u] thread.

I played with a truly awful band for loyalty (And because they had a lot of work) until I realised I had to get out. I was glad to go, and have since become a better player.

I have four Fender Precisions, but I can only play one at a time.
