I also remember the 70s basses which were well avoided at the time. However, I begin to wonder if we just find the right bass for us whenever it comes along. It could be a Squier or it could be a CS. There seems to be an element within each individual bass which appeals to some and not others. I have two precisions which, barring financial difficulty, will always be in my arsenal. I also have a Cort Artisan which I once tried to sell as I fancied something else. The sale fell through which was lucky for me as I still have the bass and it has become part of the permanent stable along with the two precisions. Others have come and gone and not just Fenders. One of these was a CS Masterbuilt job which just didn't inspire and was eventually moved on. Who knows what it is that makes a bass just right for us. That is the magic of playing bass!

Bought a very nice Ibanez Fretless from Russ. A really great guy with whom it was a pleasure to do business. Many thanks!

Cherish these stores my friends. I live in a wasteland for music stores and am hugely envious when I read on here about the good experiences you all have. I try to organise holiday destinations to take in some stores but I think my wife is catching on!😄

Job is now completed. Thanks for all the advice chaps!

Many thanks Morris. The precision is a Limelight so another wee ding won't make a lot of difference. 😁

Ok. I've got the message loud and clear. I am about to re-align the neck on one of my precisions after it was pointed out to me in the 'for sale' forum that the dots weren't absolutely in the centre between strings. After never noticing such things I now find myself checking all precisions as to the position of the dots. I have found many exactly the same as mine. Obviously it is not a dreadful problem!

I have just acquired an 18v cordless screwdriver. I am wanting to use it for slackening off the neck on one of my precisions. I notice that the driver has different torque settings from 1 - 16. I don't want to over-tighten and was looking for a bit of guidance from those members who use cordless screwdrivers. Many thanks.

My oh my oh my! That looks absolutely fantastic. I'm sure it sounds equally as good. Are you going to part with this anytime soon?

Feel free to use any of my pics.

Not at all. Lightweight Limelight!

Just for the record here is the newly arrived Limelight 00218.

Limelight 00218 has finally arrived and what a beauty she is. I asked Mark to do as light a relic as possible on a '57' precision. She looks great, sounds great, and plays great. What more can I ask?

This made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Obviously Mavis Staples liked it as well.
