Just checked, 3.8kg

Any more pics of that Vig?

Or Netscape Navigator

Could just be Internet Explorer actually - @Acebassmusic Can you try it on another browser? Let’s see if we can narrow it down.

Thanks. Yeah I’ve raised this with them but they denied it - will get in to them again. Cheers

Here you go!

I see you still haven’t hit the ‘unsubscribe’ button 😂

I draw the line at asking for pics... ...but if you insist

Yeah that’s a pic of the ones I got. 22mm diameter so interested to hear how big yours are?

I'm not sure if I can make that yet - but I will if I can. Yes I'd like to see your bass!

How awful, feel for you mate... best of luck

Looks like you've blown your bass budget on new undies and possibly carpet! Sorry!

Yeah not bad. Think the star should be a slice of lime instead

OK cool, I don't think I've ever seen the Limelight logo...

Genuine question - not trying to stir anything up - but how can Limelight sell these new with the Fender logo on them - are they genuine Fenders that have been 'modified' by them, or what?

Elixir have confirmed it's not them, so they're back on (as of yesterday afternoon) Currently testing Google ads. We're probably moving away from those anyway in the next few months (watch this space for more info as and when) Thanks all, please report any others!

Thanks mate yes those are similar but the SB1 ones have a black edge. Maybe they're 22mm too, then - in which case I've got the right ones. I'll probably keep the original worn out ones on it though I think. BTW whilst searching for the SB1 knobs I found that those ones on your bass are apparently REALLY sought after and hard to find! Take care of them!

Yeah thanks buddy I think given the choice I’d go for the thinner gauge over lighter tension anyhow, I basically can’t deal with a G string bigger than 0.040. Thanks for the heads up. BTW I didn’t cut the strings as per instructions and followed EB’s recommended wrap technique and still found them almost too long to wrap around neatly.

Yeah ok please - just out of interest. The ones I have are either 17.9mm (look small) or 22mm (look big!) Thanks

Took some snaps this morning. You can see it's a real 'players' bass! I've got it set up just right now and have been really enjoying playing it. I'll record something soon! The neck is a really nice golden colour and it feels excellent. In terms of the grounding issue, tbh I'm not sure it's not just shielding that could be added; my lamp adds some noise and with that off it's OK - also the patch I was using on my VB99 was basically the one I use with my Smith (which is pretty much clean) so this morning I made a dedicated patch for the SB1 and after tweaking the limiter and amp settings for this bass it's fine. I may still get some shielding added at some point but with a bit of noise limiter on that patch you can only now hear it on long sustained notes and definitely not in a mix. Really pleased with it

Yes it could have been this page? https://www.digikey.com/products/en/hardware-fasteners-accessories/knobs/568 I had a hard time tracking down the older style G&L ones and I'm still not 100% sure they're the right size (anyone able to measure the diameter of theirs?) but I think I'll leave the chrome (original) knobs on this as they're nicely worn like the rest of the bass... the new ones stand out too much!

Yes getting the balance of everything takes time. I find it easiest to adjust things in order, relief first, then action at bridge, if no adjustment then tilt.
