  1. Was a staple of on my board for a while, but since replaced by a Digitech Drop. Light signs of use. Fitted with Velcro - no box but will be well wrapped when sent. £30 posted within the UK.
  2. Lightly used, excellent condition. £30 posted within UK.
  3. Very lightly used. Unmarked and fitted with Velcro. £110 including postage.
  4. I'm guessing opportunists who accessed the stockroom and just grabbed whatever they saw first.
  5. I was actually in there the following day as they had a couple of guitars in stock that a friend wanted to try out. There were no obvious signs of a break-in at the shop (e.g. boarded up windows), so I wonder if they were taken from the stock room/warehouse.
  6. Recently purchased a Maruszczyk Jake 5p from Andy. Top guy who went over and above to get the bass to me when he was working locally. Credit to the forum!
  7. Bought a couple of cabs from Stealth. As described, packed well and posted promptly - deal with confidence!
  8. John sold me his Thumpinator. Exactly as described and really fast dispatch. Highly recommended!
  9. Any interest on here before it goes on FB/eBay?
  10. Tourtech 19inch 2U flight case: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/tour-tech-ttabs-2u-two-unit-19-rack-case This housed my ABM600RC until recently, but have now had this mounted into a Sleeve so this case is surplus to requirements. Couple of years old, very light marks from gigging use but no dents/cracks and in full working order. Will post at buyers cost, insured post with Yodel is £6.50.
  11. Got tickets for the London show - can't wait!!
  12. Another vote for contacting Ashdown! Also consider that you don't actually need a 500w speaker if it's 8ohm, it'll only draw about half the power of the amp so 300w 8 ohm should be more than sufficient.
  13. Thanks for the confirmation - 34 inch is definitely my preference, so the fact that it is makes it very appealing! I have a Maruszczyk Jake 5p on the way next week, but the Charvel may well be next inline! Really appreciate the offer to try yours - may well take you up on that once I have the funds available 😁
  14. I played the same red Jazz V in PMT the other day - it was gorgeous!! Really tempted by one. Did some digging when I got home and different websites seem to list the scale lengths differently - some 34 and some 35. @BillyBass are you able to confirm which it is? Thanks!
  15. Hi Luca, Yes it was epoxied by the factory and it's ebony 👍 Cheers, Matt
  16. May consider other trades or PX deals such as: Line 6 Stomp/Pod Go Acoustic Bass FX Pedals Ashdown RM500 Head (or Original 500) Or try me!
  17. I used to have this exact setup 20 years ago. If I had the space I'd love to have another one!
  18. Great example of a Limelight jazz. Only for sale as I'm really only playing 5 string now and want to raise the funds for a 5 string Fretless. Would consider a trade/PX for a nice lined 34 inch scale fretless. Recently restrung with a set of regular slinky's and played very little since. Also I have replaced the saddle height adjustment screws. The originals had siezed (a fault with the relicing process which Limelight have now changed). The new ones are hex rather than slotted, so not period but much easier to use - but can give you the size details if you want to change them back! I asked Mark about this history of the bass a while ago and he said the following: Limelight 00137 is quite an early one - the 37th one made in fact, and finished in october 2014. Ordered as a 1960 Stack Knob Jazz in Orange over white with a Jazz width maple neck (Not actually an option in 1960 but it was common for necks to be switched). This build was ordered with the earth strip from bridge to bridge PU, but without mute holes, and no hootenanny button either. Also requested for the thumb rest to be in the upper position above the E string (Fender moved it to this position in 1974, before then it was below the G). Also had the later (1968 onwards) barrel saddles bridge instead of the threaded bridge. There are some nice pics of it on their website here: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight-custom-00137-j-bass/ Weighs in at 4.4kg (9lb 12oz) Would much prefer collection from Chelmsford or local meet up, but may post at buyers risk and expense. Any questions let me know!
  19. That's pretty much exactly how I use fretless - mainly just play it at home to improve my ear and technique. Don't have much in the way of gigging opportunities for one, but good to have it in the collection and be ready for when the gig calls for it 👍.
  20. Only one way to get good at fretless - that's play fretless! Honestly though it's not as scary as many make out, especially when you have lines as a guide. You also won't find a better fretless for the money - these Sires are excellent.
