  1. Shame he's not doing any copies of the basses he play's
  2. I had an allparts neck once, hardly used it but the frets wore more than my at the time 20 year old jap fender. Glad to say neither of my limelights have this issue.
  3. Yes exactly the same as my old one.
  4. My old 1990 Jap 60's re issue, also had the brass strips under the pick up's. They should have earth wires soldered to them ?
  5. Pair of EMG HB pick ups and wiring, four pots, input jack and toggle selector, taken off modified Greco Faker. Cant vouch if the pots are original emg pots etc.But where working when removed from bass. possible trade for di marzio model J pick ups.
  6. Sold a set of emg Jv pick ups to Andrew, prompt payement and good communication.
  7. As new complete with push/pull connection wiring loom, £70 posted uk mainland. Pics if needed.
  8. Hey guys, just a quick update here. Had a get together with a friend who also has a jazz bass and he allowed me to temporarily borrow his pickups and control plate to do a bit of troubleshooting. Trying his control plate with my pickups darkened it up ever so slightly so it might partially be the 250k/500k issue, I also used his quarter pounder set with both control setups, and in the end my bass with the electronics of his sounded pretty monstrous. So now I'm going to purchase myself some 250k pots, a set of SD QP's, and I'm probably going to add a series/parallel switch into the mix also (I figure I'm redoing the thing anyway I might as well have a few more options). Somebody mentioned getting a "loom" from kiogon, Is he a member here? and, if so, How would I get in touch with him? Pretty much did everything you've mentioned above with an American standard Jazz I had, other than fitting SD's I fitted model J di marzios. Everything was still to bright. Flatwounds are a cheap option. Just put kiogans name in the search toolbar and send him a PM
  9. Went for a dark brown 60's plate for my limelight
  10. Just bought a precision tort guard off Simon, well packaged and a great fit. Thanks very much

    New Tech21 Q\Strip.

    Would like to see a side by side comparison with the VT pedal, just to see what your getting for twice the price.
  13. I had the same issues with an american standard/california jazz a while back, stunning bass but just to toppy for me. I tried model J pick ups to darken it, but it didnt really help. A few people suggested flatwounds to calm it down, but i sold the bass on. I now have a limelight jazz that has flatwounds and a hayman 4040 that has them on. For the sake of £22 for a set of fender flatwounds its worth a go.
  14. Bought a limelight off Paul, good comms and excellent packing. pleasure doing business with you.
  15. If only this had a rosewood board
  16. Bought a solid gold beta pedal of Dario, prompt postage from France and in condition stated in advert. Deal with confidence.
  17. I keep telling myself i don't want one lol
  18. But how much lighter Dan ?
  19. http://www.retrovibe.co.uk/parts/pickups.html Ive got a set of high gains in my greco faker, sound a lot more ballsy than my proper 4003.
