Yes, I had a stock one & while it was great physically to play I found it disappointingly "flat", if that's the word; no life in it at all. I've avoided Barts since, but I'm seriously tempted!

It really is a lovely bass!!

I don't know exactly, no scales, sadly, but it's on the heavy side of a jazz, weighs similar to my '79 Precision, if that's any help? Not as heavy as a Sire Marcus Miller, but significantly heavier than my Maruszczyk Elwood. Sorry I can't be more exact on this!

Yes, I was really taken by the colour & the matching headstock.

Excellent - I used to have 00103 ('59 Precision) & 00105 ('62 Jazz), I regret selling both but you can only have so many!! But I'm keeping 00135, a '60 jazz in Burgundy. Beautiful!

Thanks, chap!

I'm reluctantly selling my Limelight Jazz Bass, serial 00201, as I have another couple of jazzes & this is rather surplus to requirements. This is a lovely example of Mark's work down at Cool & Classic guitars, a take in looks on a '75 but to me it feels more like a '62. Lovely to play, typical jazz sounds (the maple board making it sound edgier than my rosewoods) & it looks great with the matching headstock & tort scratchplate. At present it's got a Babicz bridge on it (I put these on all my basses), which I think looks great as a contrast to the lightly-reliced body, but I can put the original back on if required; I'll include it anyway. It also has Schaller straplocks on it, again I can put the originals on if required. Another nice thing, for me, is that the matching headstock has the Limelight logo instead of the usual Fender logo - I love Mark's basses (I've had 4) so I think this adds to rather than detracts from the overall look. Collection from Bournemouth. I'd prefer not to have to post/courier, but try me (postage at purchaser's expense). I'm willing to drive for a fair distance (up to 150 miles) to deliver, for a fuel contribution agreed before I travel. Thanks for looking!

I'll have a go. Pete

Now £300!! For sale, Warwick Rockbass Alien Deluxe 4-string fretless acoustic bass. A lovely instrument, sounds great, only selling as I bought a Carvin which suits me better for live work. Perfect condition, no dings or wear that I can find. Bought new from Thomann in May 2018, I'll also throw in a strap with straplocks, & a Rockbag soft gigbag. The bass comes with a Fishman preamp/tuner, & it strung with tapewound strings for that acoustic/double bass thump. Unlined fingerboard with side markers on the note, makes it a joy to play. Pickup from Seaford, East Sussex, or Bournemouth where I work during the week. I'll deliver within 30 miles of either of these for free, further afield for a bit of fuel money.

PM'd, thanks Paul.

Fair point! I currently use TC RS212 & RS210, great combination but I thought I'd like to try the Orange for the "old school" sound, as the TCs are very bright. 410s ar too big for me generally, I've been trying to downsize for years!

Ta!

Hi - are these still going? £550 for both? Thanks

NOW £1,100 - or trade for a Limelight Jazz A lovely 2015 sunburst Fender USA AVRI '74 Jazz Bass. Lovely to play, sounds great through the vintage pups, I don't think I need to say more. Please contact me if you need more information. Very good condition, almost mint, I'd say. It comes with a genuine Fender hard case, although I'm not convinced that it's the original. All case candy included, including pickup covers. It's got Schaller straplocks on at the moment but the originals will be included. I'll deliver personally within the SE, or you can come & collect. I'd really prefer not to post but you could arrange a courier etc post payment.

How about a swap for a 2016 US Precision Elite? It's listed here on Basschat.

Ha! I'm usually much the same! Thanks for the bump!

Bump!

Yes, I’d post no problem, preferably not overseas but would definitely consider! Pete

PRICE DROP - £1,100!!! Beautiful Fender Precision Elite, s/n US16xxxx, which puts it as a 2016 model. Pretty much mint. It's had a very recent pro set-up (since these pics) with a new nut (bone), as the one in these pics was a bit badly spaced. Plays beautifully with no issues. Has its original hard case & candy. Only selling as I prefer my '79 P-bass & don't see the point of having this as well! Collection from or from near Seaford (E Sussex), or I'll deliver personally near to here (try me! I like driving!). I'd consider trades for US Jazz basses (passive only) or Limelight jazz basses.

Now traded!

Hey, Lee. Not sure if you'll be interested but could do a straight swap for my Ibanez SR1800 - see my ad on this forum for details. Good luck if not! Pete

Sounds like a plan. The large ones were reference BBG 853 & the small ones were BBG 854 on the bestbassgear website, if you needed that

Just two large alumin(i)um & three small. They were NOT cheap with shipping - $62 approx. But I think they're a great improvement & the kids don't need to eat every day, do they? This was my 2nd Ibby - I had the SRFF805 but it was just too flat -sounding with the Bartolinis. The Nords are a huge improvement but I recorded with both it & my Jazz the other day & the Jazz honestly blew it away!
