That's what I thought was supposed to happen, but every time I engaged the pedal there was an instant change in the tone.. strange. At the time, I was running it straight into a poweramp.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the case - I wrestled for around a year with mine (and the Para, which I had a similar issue with). In the end I picked up an EBS Microbass II, which had all the functionality and more, but left the mids untouched. That's not to diss the SansAmp - it's excellent at what it does if that's your thang.

I've just had to ask Mrs. WoT to confirm that she can see this too, as I was convinced I was hallucinating.

Thanks for contributing. It might be my failing memory, but I seem to recall engaging the SansAmp with the blend rolled off still introduced a noticeable change in the mids...?

It's got a very baked-in tone - if you like it, you're in luck. I couldn't get on with the mid-suck.

Well, the truth is it might sound a bit bare you you, but to everyone else it'll just sound.. right. I'd maybe do an E > F# > G walk-up behind the vocal into the G. Or a C, C > D > G.. that kind of thing. But whatever I did, it would be fleeting 'cos foot-fifth is king on that tune.

Yup. And the quote in the ad in the music mags... was it someone from Biffy Clyro? - 'These headphones are cool as f***!' SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

The headphones thing made me laugh. Deary me.

Hopefully they'll get someone in who can give them a bit of a shake...

A European invasion... Limelight '67 P relic Maruszczyk Jake PJ Custom HandBox WB-100 120w valve head TKS S212 cab How I love it all so.

PM me, brah.

Hmm.. not sure if you misread my post, but.. hearing this for the first time, my first thought is: 'That's got to be a bugger to play right'.

Ah, you're right. I've just checked the SPL handling of both, and the Rode wins. I've got a Videomic, but it rarely gets used because the preamp in my camera is too noisy. I might couple it with something else...

I would argue that 'What is Hip' is neither well-known, nor on the face of it does it not appear to be too much of a problem :-)

This may be a bit obvious, bu I have a lot of luck with the various Zoom recorders.

BTW.. those marks on the back? Classic example of 'left in a case, lying on a curly lead'.

£1200 is reasonable even if it was stripped. it looks like ash. Coupled with the black guard (if original) this suggests it might well have been natural at birth.

That's a very good price indeed. Well done.

I wouldn't bother, unless it's someone like Andy Baxter.

Nice! I asked for a lightweight body and Gotoh res-o-lite tuners on my Limelight. I didn't want anything heavy.

I'm just amazed they're that much in the first place....

£1600 for a display model? OMG.

The irony is there's probably less people involved in the assembly / build of a Limelight or Maruszczyk than there is in a standard Team-build Fender CS.

Before I dropped a deposit on the Limelight, I was set on getting my first 'real' 60s P. I tried a few that were within my price range - not pennies, but not Andy Baxter prices - and none of them sang to me. And because my budget wasn't showroom prices, they'd all been tinkered with one way or another, and not always obviously. Maybe one day, with a bigger budget...
