soudns to me like youre carrying them. All of them.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1492006042' post='3277112'] Not to me he doesn't. [/quote] He's using the present tense.. I'm basing my assertion on that : can, not "used to"

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1492003343' post='3277081'] When Limelight (Mark Richards) first started selling his clones they were supplied with Fender decals. Limelight ceased offering the option after a shouty thread here on BC about fake decals and issues of legality. They now sell them with a bare headstock. [/quote] I do vaguely recall that, but the poster seemed to be saying that it still happens, when what I think he is seeing is post-sale owner changes

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1491993544' post='3276988'] They certainly used to. Do a search for "Limelight" on here & see how many of them have Fender decals [/quote] sure - but who added them ? I dont see any on their site with them

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1491984891' post='3276885'] Totally this. It's only other musicians who notice. I've never understood how the likes of Limelight can legally sell an instrument with another companies logo, but that's another thread. [/quote] they dont - limelight dont put fender decals on. They may make replicas but they are surely wary of being accused of passing off

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1491815068' post='3275479'] Quite surprised no one has mentioned strings yet. Do you have rounds or flats on there? Flats would make it less bright [/quote] The original poster did, in his original post "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][i]I've already tried flatwounds on it (which I didn't really like), and pure nickel strings, neither of which had that much of an efffect[/i]."[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]there will be a test later, lollipops for those who score high [/font][/color]

Jazz basses can sound like that - I recommend split coil humbukcers in jazz bass dimensions -bonus is they'll be quiet

That I did not know, thank you Perhaps I'll post the riff as I see it here and you kind folks can constructively criticise it

Thanks - I was referring to the tab sites with regard to being flamed. I've seen some fruity comments there and I'm really not in the right place for getting some

You can stick a brass plate on the headstock; I used to use a guitar one called a fathead Here you go http://www.guitarsite.com/newsletters/990816/10.shtml

I purposely put one in my 75 replica - it has el cheapo internet pickups; everyone loves the sound and it's totally quiet noise-wise so either the copper plate adds something in sound, mass or resonance or it's a totally amazing bass anyway and adds nothing. It doesn't harm it; so I suggest putting it in. It was good enough for Leo

Isn't John east a member on here ?

this is what I found- its not right [url="https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/u2-silver-and-gold-bass-tab-b-s367438"]https://www.songster...s-tab-b-s367438[/url] .

It's literally the only time I get Dave With an irig or vox amp it works

Thanks for the kind words, guys

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1491327887' post='3272182'] +1. Great bass line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdFRfNjnDjA [/quote] On my must-learn list

Fret tester

I just don't want to get flamed, but I honestly don't think it can be any worse than the one that was there. There simply weren't enough notes to be even close. what was it ? [u][b]Pretty small beer[/b][/u] for the gigging uber-fretmeisters around here, but for me (kids, long hours at work, no practice time at home), a significant win; "silver and gold" off U2 rattle and Hum album, including all the staccato notes, the riff and the slides.

i also run the cycle of fifths round in my head, forming each scale in turn. ** [i]** this can also helps if you can't sleep ...[/i]

i keep a bass in my car, if I get time at luncthime I go out and practice

i keep a bass in my car in the hope that one day, I will get some child free practice time in my-ever-shorter lunch break. It rarely happens, but today it did and I looked up the bass tab for a song I listened to on the way in to work this morning. It looked wrong and it truly was once I tried it. It was woeful. Bu tthen I figured it out, and I can count on the fingers on hand the number of times I have done this successfully, but today I did it. I'm toying wih the idea of uploading my correct-er version.
