Did anyone else see this? If so, can you confirm that it was real, and that I didn't imagine it? Dreadful.

I know of people who do.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1405610402' post='2503641'] Great, let us know when it's on! Are you going to be using the Limelight Jazz?? [/quote] Well, the reason it caught my eye in the first place was because it looks like John Illsley's, so it would be rude not to. :-)

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1405610015' post='2503632'] Does this mean you're Mr Knopfler's go-to bassist? How cool is that?!! [/quote] If Glenn Worf ever throws the towel in, I imagine I'll be as high as 9357th in line to replace him. But, if it happens again for a third time I might get cocky. Ha ha.

*THE THREAD FROM THE DEAD* Happy days... I've just found out I'm playing with Mr. Knopfler again, at a gig to celebrate the millionth entrant into the Great North Run in September. This time it's going to be live on BBC2. Yay

Walkabout. The MPulse 600 is nice, but it doesn't contain the Walkabout's mystical mids of magic.

Harrods could probably source you one. haw haw.

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1405294750' post='2500575'] Regarding the BDDI having scooped mids, you can counter that by cutting Bass and Treble (and increasing Volume to compensate). That way you will 'boost' mids. That is by design and several other pedals and audio hardware use the same EQ system. [/quote] IME there's always a scoop present regardless of how you tweak the knobs. I just didn't get on with the SABDDI or the PARA DI... it made all my basses sound the same. If you like that sound, you're in luck.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1405448563' post='2502006'] It's finished! Just waiting for delivery now :-) [/quote] Lush. I haven't chipped in to a Limelight thread for, oooh... a couple of weeks now, but I just have to say my J is still blowing me away whenever I play it. It's incredible.

To be fair, Rick Rosas is a bit of a legend too....

And yourself. I'd consider changing your thread title, 'cos it makes you look a bit silly.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1405107935' post='2498958'] I think you are missing the point so I think as we are not going to agree we should draw a line under it and move on there is nothing more constructive to say [/quote] I don't think I am missing the point. I just think you're struggling for a come-back.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1405107570' post='2498955'] I think the item is unfit for purpose even if had returned them to the retailer I could still of contacted Warwick to air my views [/quote] I think you're missing the point. Contacting them isn't the issue. Coming on here slagging them off instead of going through the proper channels is. It's just shabby, IMO.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1405106331' post='2498940'] That is your view and you are entitled to it but if THEY wanted what they had to say said in public they would of posted in the main chat and not of sent me a private message [/quote] Maybe they're just classier than that. Let's not forget, they've done nowt wrong. Anything they do to help you is out of courtesy because you didn't do what you were supposed to do.

If you're going to tarnish a brand's reputation, it's only fair to back it up with facts, i.e. publish their exact reponse. It's nice that they're helping you now, but to be fair they shouldn't have to.

I echo everything mentioned earlier. Acoustic basses ceased to have a point when the 90's unplugged craze wore off.

That is SUCH a quintessential Disney sound. Amazing.

Thunderbird has PM'd their response to me, and I have to say that while it's not above-and-beyond EPIC customer service, IMO it's perfectly reasonable.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1405067289' post='2498414'] the" I don't really care attitude" that is what has annoyed me more than the strings [/quote] Can you C&P what they said, please?

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1405057592' post='2498308'] What am I missing please? [/quote] You might get hit with a handling charge, which could wipe out your £13.

I'm amazed the whole set were dead. One in a pack is fair enough, but the whole set? That's just extremely bad luck.

It's a crappy pic, but it looks to me like the truss adjustment is at the headstock, suggesting MIM...?

[quote name='vsmith1' timestamp='1404719486' post='2494881'] At least it has some Richard Wright on it, otherwise would it really be Floyd? [/quote] I believe it was recorded around the time of The Division Bell, which came out of Gilmour, Wright and Mason jams. So yes, I think it does qualify as Floyd. If you think Floyd are Floyd without Roger, that is.
