[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1425657389' post='2709498'] Played an NM Precision once and loved it! Really edgy tone with rounds, perfect for pickstyle! I'd say it would sound awesome with a nice set of flats too [/quote] I think it'll be flats for me. I'm used to my RW jazz wearing flats. My Jazz special has rounds and it always sounds too harsh

All sounds good - I now just have to fine one

Is the neck similar to the roadworn ie nitro ? I don't fancy a plasticky thick neck

Might have to try one of these then. Thanks for your help guys. I would also change the pick guard as a black guard is a bit too 70's for me. Pickup might also have to be swapped out as I have a Fender Jazz Special if I want to ROCK. Anyone know where's there a s/h one kicking about ? Cheers Neil

I love my RW Jazz mostly due to the neck which just feel "right" I'd like another Road Worn but fancy something different to complement the Jazz I have. Does anyone have the Nate Mendel P and the RW Jazz. Are the necks similar ? Has anyone discovered if the NM is all nitro finish like the Jazz ? I'd have the RW P but I think the neck might be a bit big for me- this also rules out getting a Mike Dirnt P even though the blond with maple looks the absolute nuts!

I really like that. I'd love a Sandberg after seeing that one on the 100 Greatest Bass Riffs video. How much are they ?

if only it was a nitro finish.

ah balls just noticed the shell pink is stack knob, that's another choice to be made.

Thanks both - Looks like I might have to get one. It's the worn in feel that does it for me and why I have moved on my CV Squiers..they feel trapped in plastic to me. Now jazz with rw board...but burgundy mist, sea foam green, lpb the choice is going to be tough

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1417786163' post='2624006'] I've played Discreet's Limelight and I own a Fender RW Jazz, I love my RW but the attention to detail on a Limelight is excellent and you get to choose your favourite spec and colour with a Limelight! [/quote] It's the feel of the neck and board that i love on my RW...comparable you think ?

Has anyone/Can anyone compare a Limelight to a Fender Roadworn. I have a RW Jazz that I adore, it just feels spot on in every way. BUT I'm a sucker for a custom colour and matching headstock.

The bass player in 3rd Eye Girl was using one whe I saw prince live..looked tasty!* And the bass wasn't bad either!!!???!!! OI OI

My RW Jazz is a lovely thing to play, and being all CNC'd these days they "should" all be the same. You could always sell it to me if you're worried

Porn!

Now that's a proper customer colour. I fancy the same in a Jazz

After gassing for another bass I thought I'd try out a Nash as I have heard good things (mostly). I have a Fender RW Jazz and am a big fan of the relic thing - A relic'd bass stops me getting upset if I ding a bass which you inevitably do when you're gigging. First thing was the looks - It looked great in LPB with matching h/s. A acceptable amount of well done ageing, in line with the Fender Roadworn level. I didn't like the rust on the metal parts, I've had old guitars and non of them were rusty, Tarnished is fine rust is not to my liking. Weight - It's a weighty thing, much heavier than my roadworn but they are lightweight basses. I could manage it for a gig but it might get a bit heavy at the end. It's not 70's P heavy but I was expecting a lighter bass for the money. Playability - played really nice, does feel like an old bass, worn neck is smooth and fast. A bit to wide and flat for me but that just because I'm used to a skinny u shaped neck and is not a negative. Set up was good. Sound - Through a big mesa rig it sounded full and mellow on the neck pickup with jazz bark at the bridge. Just as it should. Value for money - List of £2.5k, I'm not sure anyone pays that though. It's a pricey thing. I certainly want to try a Limelight to see how they compare for less than half the price. Overall - It's a nice bass but for the money I think it should be an amazing bass and I was looking for something extra, It didn't quite live up to what I was expecting from the cost. I'd really like one but If I was paying full wack I'd be going for the Fender AVRI. Second hand and it would be a toss up.

I like it as a colour scheme, apart from the squiggle. If only it were nitro finish, poly feels very synthetic to me.
