Definitely worth asking the singer, especially as he is the one who would be completely stuffed without a PA!

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1438174139' post='2832248'] The TH sounded really good, I have to say... it doesn't belong in a "worst amps" thread. [/quote] Maybe time for a new 'Difficult-to-Use Amps' thread?

PM me your phone number and I'll pass it to an excellent drummer I know here in Swindon.

£50 buys you Blackstar Fly 3W micro-combo with onboard drive and delay, plus input for stuff to play along wit. Win win win!

I should be more careful about clicking on external links - that finish hurt my eyes and my brain.

'Solid' is sometimes taken to mean 'non-flashy'. Hey - another compliment! Jamerson was definitley solid mind.

I am - I take it to be a compliment on timing, without which we are nothing!

You declined? Think of the exposure! EDIT - crossed post - you obviously [i]have[/i] thought about it. '[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This will lead to a rise in capital through more purchases and a higher profit margin.' - Clearly an economics graduate...[/font][/color]

Swindon -> Nottingham = 137 miles. Bugger

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1439742262' post='2845392'] Really? They could build something like this for less than 900 quid? [/quote] Is that bench an original 60s model or a modern relic'd version?

I saw them twice in 2002. Love their stuff, and used to sing and play 'Filmstar' in a previous band. Collected all their rare tracks on CD singles. Also went to see Brett Anderson on his solo tour, and bought a live double CD shortly afterwards. Pants I'm afraid. The Tears were forgettable too.

Matt Osman Or as Brett was fond of saying, Mad Horseman.

[quote name='KK Jale' timestamp='1439729434' post='2845247'] I can't comment on the green/black thing, but is a black scratchplate likely to be original on ANY '69 Precision? On a natural finish, maybe? Not casting aspersions, just interested to find out. [/quote] Dunno, any 60s Precision gurus on here? The website description does mention a new tone pot and pickup.

I have seriously considered a Limelight P, but I wouldn't want to risk commissioning one, only to find I didn't like it. Would love to try one though, so keeping my eye on Basses for Sale.

In the end it comes down to one thing: Will it say 'take me, I'm yours'? There is another similar P in my sights, but I'd rather not draw attention to it - I have a bass to sell and a few more beer tokens to save up before I can afford it. Yes I could hit the credit card, but I hate playing financial catch-up afterwards, much nicer to feel you have a cash stash to spend!

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1439677079' post='2844986'] so why sell it? im sorry but this is the bit i dont get [/quote] I have never sold a bass that I thought was no good, but I have sold them to make way for one I wanted more at the time. This includes at least one that I now kinda wish I had back! People sell all kinds of terrific basses on here, for all sorts of reasons, and it doesn't automatically mean that those basses aren't good, great, or terrific.

Hmmm. I know Sherwood green is rare, but I don't like it! I'll just have to see the thing 'in the flesh'.

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1439674751' post='2844953'] Nah im sorry I dont agree, if they were that good you wouldnt sell them simple as, there must be something that makes people want to sell them. Id love a YOB Jazz (but i cant afford a 66) this was probably my only option but why do so many get sold on? [/quote] Ever tried one? Me neither.

I can forgive the slapping because it's the chorus from [i]Peg[/i] by Steely Dan, but who's the dancing fool? http://youtu.be/zxWth2F3dC4

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1439669039' post='2844901'] On my computer the OP's bass doesn't look green at all. [/quote] Nor on my computer, iPad, or Android phone!

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1439659537' post='2844779'] How come there are so many Limelights for sale when the owners say `its the best bass ive owned` thats always baffled me. [/quote] [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1439663976' post='2844842'] Every bass/amp/pedal ad on here says that... [/quote] That, and GAS!

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1439652553' post='2844706'] Just had Obbm make me a five metre instrument cable, with right angle plug on one end and straight on the other. Brilliant quality and very rapid delivery. [/quote] [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1439664115' post='2844845'] OBBM. [/quote] All you need right there.
