  1. [quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1404485885' post='2493115'] I've got a new sea foam green pearl arriving next week from GAK :-) limited to 150 for Europe. Think they only had just the one on order. [/quote] It is most likely the 2014 passive run. Our New Mexico friend appears to be looking for one of the 2012 original run, which were active. They are very hard to get hold of now. I have the 2014 passive, now sporting tortie plate. I've sold most of my other basses (inc Sadowsky, Rick and Alembic) as this one is just everything I need for gigs. Enjoy yours, imo they are simply outstanding.
  2. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1404470140' post='2492873'] Yes, that karlfer... what IS he on about?? [/quote] Oh, I see, I get the picture. Wasn't like that down the docks last Saturday night though was it big boy!
  3. Congrats BC Assuming I'm still on the right website
  4. [quote name='Mykstar' timestamp='1404446342' post='2492695'] Hello, I really want this bass, but I live in New Mexico, USA. Do you know what your price + shipping would be on that (if possible) in American dollars? and if it was done would the travel be more damage to the guitar then it's worth? I have a geddy lee jazz crafted in japan, and I've had a MIM fender active deluxe p bass special before... This is like the best of both worlds, just hard to find in USA. [/quote] Welcome Mykstar. roceci has not been on the site since May 22nd so you may be better off sending him a private message. To do that, go to the first post and click on his user name roceci, at the top left of post #1. That will open another page which will have a box with " send me a message" written in it. Click on that box, put in your title and message, then press send. The first run of these in 2012 were active, this years run are passive. Frankly you are better off waiting for one to come up in the US, however if it is desperate, there is still a new one at the following UK dealer [url="http://www.promenademusic.co.uk/fender-fsr-p-bass-sea-foam-green"]Fender FSR Deluxe Precision Bass, Sea Foam Green[/url] however by the time you pay shipping (IF they ship to the US?) and any tax / import duties, this may be very expensive. Good luck whatever you do, Karl.
  5. [quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1404432585' post='2492681'] Ah yes... Davidak! I knew I recognised that field. [/quote] Something you wish to share mckendrick ? Bump, great bass and price.
  6. Well, I had my chance, just didn't have the loot at the time. Well done that man
  7. [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1404159760' post='2489938'] Love Jethro Tull, but there have been so many line ups I can never remember who plays on each album. Aqualung still my fave JT album and Locomotive Breath fave track :-) [/quote] Aqualung and Aqualung for me, but Thick as a brick is still up there.
  8. Call me old fashioned but it might do better in the "basses for sale" forum
  9. He hasn't been on the website since October of last year so it is very probably sold. You could try sending him a personal message. Top left of his first post is his name, luked. Click on his name. That will open another page, with "send me a message" near the top right hand side. Click on that, type and then send your message. Hope you get lucky, cheers, Karl.
  10. My first bass in 74 was one of these. £10 it was. I put it in a skip a decade ago. The last strings I put on it cost £12 A complete piece of sh*te!
  11. At the risk of me getting a written kick in the conkers JBF, Fender in particular seem to send the odd bass from USA, Mexico and Japan to our little isle . Even I have exported safely to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden as a private flogger. Nice looking bass. Bump.
  12. I'm sorry, totally off topic, but Skank, what a splendid word. Disputatious. Grinning stupidly and now desperate for an opportunity to use it.
  13. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1404127447' post='2489465'] This has all got very complicated. So to summarise... Discreet had an NBD thread relating to his new Limelight bass. WoT had a similar thread. I made a few comments on WoT's thread which, in hindsight, were not in the appropriate place. I acted on advice given, and started another thread which underwent a couple of title changes due to the fact that I was not 100% sure what the actual subject matter was! Many posts were made in that thread, and as a result of it (seemingly) the guy who makes Limelight basses made a decision about the branding of his basses. That was brought to our attention by Discreet in [b][i]this[/i][/b] thread. Despite Karlfer's accusation, I did [b][i]not[/i][/b] have (and [i][b]do[/b][/i] not have) an "agenda". I stated this clearly in the thread that [b][i]I[/i][/b] started. But some people do not read all of a thread before contributing. And to think that [i][b]I[/b][/i] was accused of being "easily offended"!! [/quote] How very dare you accuse me of accusing . I said "I think........................" (me thinking is a bit of a misnomer, but I'll let it pass this time)
  14. Of no use to you whatsoever but if you source the jazz nut width Dusty version, I would like to know where, how much etc. I'm still baulking at spending £2400 on CS Dusty so would like to go with a Dusty style neck attached to Squire Classic Vibe 50's body.
  15. IMO this is a great price for this head. The tonal versatility and power of these are amazing. They were far from cheap and certainly the EBSTD650 I had would outlive me. Good luck Alan, great amps.
  16. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1404034542' post='2488596'] [/size] Oh, you poor deluded fellow! You'll [i]never [/i]leave! I'm quoting this because I'll be bringing it up again and again, every time you trade, sell or buy another bass in the years to come. [b]Bwa-ha-ha-haa-haah-haaaaaaaahhhh!!![/b] [/quote] Not that long ago a certain discreet of this very parish mooted the thought of a name change. May one humbly suggest "bucket of frogs"
  17. Yowser, what a tone! Oh well, only 12 weeks to wait. Thanks Mark, that is excellent.
  18. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1403911575' post='2487761'] Well, I'm two gigs into a three-one-the-trot run, and I LOVE THIS THING. Lots of comments from band-mates and punters about its tone and looks. And the best bit is: the world hasn't ended because it has a Fender logo on it. Happy days, man... [/quote] Fabulous set up Michael.
  19. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1403946044' post='2487886'] The funny thing is a lot of punters would not get that joke and presume it to be a Fender such is the notoriety of the brand never mind spot a fake logo on something like the [i]many [/i]Fender clones! I dont think I am a full on BRX Fender hater yet but I sure am bored with all the copies now [/quote] Well do something radical and don't look.
  20. [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1403876637' post='2487352'] Well now, posting a band with no bass player on a bass forum, that's not going to calm anyone down is it? [/quote] Wa hay, elephant spotted

  22. [quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1403867378' post='2487234'] I enter this thread with a bit of nervousness as it seems 'off topic' has visited 'bass guitars'. However, I have a bit of sympathy for karlfer here as he ordered a bass on the basis that it would have a 'Fender' decal on the headstock as per the current offerings from Limelight. It is not for anyone to question why he wants a Fender decal. We all have different opinions and so let's live and let live. I hope that Mark will create karlfer's bass with the Fender decal before going down the route of producing basses with no logos. I would be fed up if I thought I was ordering one thing to get another. Of course if this hadn't been raised as an issue Mark could have been left to his own devices to choose when to omit the decals if at all. I have dealt with Mark in the past and he is a thorough gent. He is also capable of making his own decisions. [/quote] Thanks Hutton. As you know I rarely revert to profanity but some of the more antagonistic on here would drive a nun to swearing. I will make my thoughts clear. People have the right to verbally challenge me. I have the right to ignore them or tell them to bog off. Or tell them that sometimes there is more to words than meet the eye. NOW I'm going for my bromide.
  23. [quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1403864485' post='2487195'] So if you'll happily tell anyone who asks that it's not a Fender but a Fender-copy, why be so desperate for a Fender logo on the headstock? Wasn't the thread started by Discreet, who has a Limelight bass of his own? What's his agenda then? [/quote] Quote 1. Because I f***ing want want. Quote 2. That post is in reference to the other thread that led to this one.
  24. And another thing (sorry, I'm starting to get Meldrew now) there are two basses currently for sale in our own for sale section, which are advertised as X manufacturer, when they are both actually luthier made bitsa's, both asking significant amounts of money. Don't see anybody greeting about that. Right, I'm off for a spoonful of bromide.
