See bumnote, this is what happens when you get something splendid and point it at the children. I think we need more photos of your new joy to settle us down

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408821296' post='2533859'] I was merely referring to the possibility of ordering a custom tort guard from a well-known manufacturer of such things... ...only to be disappointed with the result, leading to a great wailing and gnashing of teeth. [/quote] I would have asked Mark to put a brown tortie on this stunning Burgundy mist. And been derided by all and sundry for doing so Actually discreet didn't twig what you were alluding to, cos I'm a bit 40 watt but gotcha now. Burgundy Mist eh, splendid.

Fabulous bass bumnote and well done that man. I won't comment on that tortie scratch plate issue, suffice it to say discreet is to taste what Ghengis Khan was to diplomacy . I am sure like the rest of us lucky peeps, you will get even more delighted as you get used to her. Now, as looney tunes said, pics to Limelight porn thread please. Congrats again, great choices.

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1408732524' post='2533093'] Do the necks have rolled edges on these? [/quote] Mine does as well.

64 jazz tribute, light relic. Picked it up, it almost knew what I wanted to do, like an old friend bass.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1408654517' post='2532335'] Go on, then.... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/243644-the-show-us-your-limelight-thread/"]http://basschat.co.u...melight-thread/[/url] [/quote]

Right, I'm quitting whilst I'm only losing badly. I fear it may get worse

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1408624665' post='2531903'] [/quote] Didn't have cameras then Alain. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408624865' post='2531909'] So... no sex for a while then, Karl..? [/quote] Spooky, that's EXACTLY what the current Mrs. discreet said in bed this morning

Come on somebody, be brave and start the Limelight Porn thread

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1408561153' post='2531414'] Great, all under 9lbs then- that's good. They look great, just need to try one now. [/quote] You mention surfing so perhaps you are SouthWest. Think Mark is Brighton based. Perhaps call him, see if you can go try a bass. He is currently showing (admittedly heavy relic) a Burgundy Mist jazz and Fiesta red Precision in stock. Good luck.

[quote name='gadgie' timestamp='1407987473' post='2526034'] Hmmm might check those out. Got addresses? [/quote] Would only make a difference if you bought them over there and snuck them back in. If you purchased from there to send to UK, fairly sure you would have to pay our 20% VAT on full price including shipping. You would also need to pay UK import duties. Think it's the same as buying from States, add about 25% to cover shipping VAT and import. Back at OP, could you not buy a cheapie, then get a proper one sent to your hotel from an Internet dealer in the same country as you are working, if that makes sense?

I often wonder if sub conscious has something to do with this. For millenia, music and dance has been part of the courting/propagation of the species thing. I just wonder if once you get past the main rush of that in life, subconsciously you start to lose interest. Dunno, but I'm very much in the way of don't make 'em like they used to. Regardless, the early 70's were my formative years, and as has already been pointed out, the formative years were days of very frequent new experiences.

Mine weighs 8lb 13 oz. But it's lightly reliced so more paint on it

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1408525283' post='2530950'] No no no. I'd die of embarrassment. [/quote] Link please, we all have to die of something eventually The nights for pub bands are a bit harder nowadays. Back in the day, the pub shut at 10.30/11pm. Now you are still playing at 1.00am in some of them. Can often be 3am when you get home. Mainly cos our piggin drummer has more gear than Carl Palmer

I guess specs are fairly limited to help Mark bring them in at the superb prices he does. Any response I made would be based on my limited knowledge. Just mail Mark on his website linked in post #68 and he will yay or nay to your specs. Good luck and enjoy. Now go away you butch Precision people [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0607_zpsba986cba.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0607_zpsba986cba.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
