    Lovely sounding & playing basses, well worth the money, and they look beautiful... if you're into that kind of look. FWIW, I'd consider myself an older player. It's nowt to do with our ages, and all to do with people liking what they like. It's as simple as that, really.

    It's 42mm at the nut....

    [quote name='emilibass' timestamp='1418827814' post='2633756'] Aren't the very same pics with a different name? Can't see any differences.

    Yup.. Inca Silver. Lovely. I had a super-rare Inca Silver '57RI P. I should never have sold it.

    [quote name='JCB' timestamp='1418572570' post='2631269'] Just for clarification - you say it is a P profile neck. For a '63 copy, I think I'm right in saying to most of us this would mean 1.75" nut width (44.5mm) though you mention in your NBD thread that the nut width is 40mm...? [/quote] Sorry, yes - it's the same as my '71, which IIRC is 40mm. I'll re-measure and confirm tonight. EDIT: I checked and its 42mm.

    Hello! Limelight's own... whatever they are. They sound marvellous...
  9. wateroftyne
    You don't see too many of these around these days. I can't believe they're 21 years old..!

    Twins are deafening. New amp time.

    I can't get past the drummer... sorry.

    [quote name='Cairobill' timestamp='1418467745' post='2630397'] Interesting bass. Do you find the thicker neck give this jazz a heavier sound? I love jazz basses but suspect that the thinner the neck, the weedier the tone? [/quote] Cheers, all. This is undoubtedly fatter than any other J I've had. Whether the neck is a factor in that or not, I don't know. Maybe it could be?

    The Sean Hurleys are nice. I wish they'd release a retrofit mute.

    Hey gang I'm selling my Limelight '63 Jazz medium relic. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/239185-nbd-limelight-63-jazz-medium-relic/"]Here's the NBD thread[/url]. I love this bass so much I'm going to order a Limelight Precision (unless an interesting P trade offer comes up!) but I need funds to do so, hence the sale. It was built in December 2012, and I'm the second owner. It's the perfect weight and balance, IMO - probaby around 8.5lbs. It has a Precision profile neck, which almost exactly mirrors my treasured '71 Precision. For some reason the previous owner removed the marker-pen Limelight signature from the back (Mark has confirmed it's #001100) - which is a shame - and, bizarrely - the 'offset body' logo from the headstock. Dunno why. It sounds incredible - the pickups are so punchy. The neck pickup is massive. I've got a load of soundclips, so I'll post what I can. I don't want to post at the moment, what with it being nearly Christmas and that. Collection from Whitley Bay-ish, or I could meet somewhere not too far. Price includes covers and original Hiscox case.

    I don't really have much of an option of the Moody Blues one way or the other, but [url="http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-custom-shop-rb-classic-jo-1996-moody-b"]I've always fancied one of these...[/url]

    Hmmmm...?
  21. wateroftyne
    The OP is 100% correct. I use a black cable for my bass. Mrs. WoT uses a bright orange cable for her violin. At gigs, the violin has consistently clearer highs than the bass.

    I'm filing these under 'Variax' for the time being. Time will tell...

    [quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1418121329' post='2626968'] I imagine most of the payments would be cash in hand (which would only look worse if questioned) [/quote] Tax avoidance, too? Yep, it'll look worse :-)

    ...also, my experience of touring the U.S. Is at least 10 years out of date, but work visas were a lot of money then. Dunno how much they are now...
  25. wateroftyne
    Don't do it on a visitor visa. Really - don't.
