I use a LM3 with 2xNY121 and it fills any room I've ever played. If I needed more vol it would be a DI job. Loads of punch and I leave the tweeters on zero.

No Twebble?

I'll take brilliant musician who is also minted over the slightly less minted hack any day. [/quote] I'm not fighting principles over a mere $65M.......

Guess this brings out the old what's best the technically superior player who is the commensurate weekend warrior/bedroom player or the multi multi multi millionaire in a global band who hacks at the bass?

I'd also be interested to know how these compare with the Limelight J's. They look very different from my LL 63J - not sure where the extra £1700 is going though if people are paying RRP.

Looks like a later MIJ Jazz to me with a fake JV neck plate....

TU-3 for me.....built like a tank and bright enough to use of stage easily.

Thanks for the replies, I'll take a look at the Yamaha..

We've got a couple of tiny TC Helicon voice solo FX150 that fit on the mic stands......very versatile for both vocal and instrument input. http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/TC-Helicon-VoiceSolo-FX150-Vocal-Processor/WRL?origin=product-ads&gclid=CNOejOCAysECFabLtAodhx0AhA

Used to be when I was a youngster but I grew up and learned to appreciate music in a wider context....I can even see merit in Girls Aloud lol. I do struggle with a lot of chart stuff that relies heavily on loops and tech though....if a song doesn't have some level of interest for me in the lyrics I tend to switch station quickly.

Posting this on behalf of a singist friend who's looking to downsize his current heavyweight CS800/CS1200 gear. I recommended the A&H PA12CP; my current band acquired a used one of these mint for less than £400 and it's pretty damn good with the HK tops and HK active sub set up we use. Unfortunately I think we hit lucky and I haven't seen another one available for a while at this sort of price. I don't know much about mixer amps beyond the A&H and Dynacord so don't know if the Mackies, Alto and the like are as robust or reliable etc. Any help appreciated.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1413969244' post='2584093'] It's funny. I think when I asked for mine with a 'light' relic finish I had the same level of relicing as my Nate Mendel in mind (which is also described as light). Obviously, every one is different and whilst my expectation (and I imagine most people's expectation of a relic job they haven't seen) will be similar to the expectations you get when ordering a custom instrument. You have a vision, as does the builder, and whilst they may not match up, it doesn't mean that I am not happy with it. In fact, the relic job on mine exceeded my expectations and looks a lot more considered than the job on my Nate Mendel. Mark clearly knows what he is doing and has lots of genuine vintage Fenders in his possession to refer to so Id recommend him to anyone wanting an excellent quality relic bass. [/quote] I think Mark puts some or all of the relicing work out to another builder. He contacted me and said that the level of relicing on my commission was more than I'd requested and sent me detailed pics. He then gave me the option of waiting for another to be made up, I was happy to try it out and as Mark is such a nice guy he threw in a Hiscox at cost and a discount on the bass. When I got the bass, yes it was more reliced than I'd probably go for if they were lined up in a shop but as it plays and sounds so good I decided it was staying with me. Would I buy another......oh yes.

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1413876276' post='2582914'] Yes even the light relics I've seen on this thread (including yours) would be too much for my taste, especially the metalwork, some tarnishing is good but I wouldn't want rust, I have one of the older Fender Road Worn Jazz Basses and that has about the right level or distress in my book. [/quote] Yep be careful on this my medium relic is um.....trashed and the metal work is dustier than preferred. Mark did give me the option of waiting for another but I took it. Do I regret it.......nah.

Another limelight Jazz. This really has become my go to bass. A bit reliced for some tastes but at least I don't get concerned about it picking up the odd ding....

This why I love Basschat! Now Ian, I've just got this small problem trying to encourage nuclear fusion at room temperature.....
