There is indeed a BT sig bass: http://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bruce-thomas-profile.html Not seen one in the flesh though. I'm sure there was one on here for sale not too long ago.

Good knowledge, thanks for that. Mine is very much a working bass.

Thanks, I think the 3TSB is particularly nice. A couple more pics for you.

My '66 P has a bit of warlinp/lifting on the little pointy bit on the top bout. I hadn't thought about much... .until now

I think the Ringo thing has reached unprecedentled levels of urban myth. Entirely fit for purpose for the Beatles; might have struggled in Rush though.

If I remember my economics studies then I think one of the main ways to support developing nations is the removal of tariffs. Won't happen of course so much self-interest in the richer 1st world nations. My only experience of instruments made by a top luthier is ACGs and I have always thought they represent outstanding value for money. I clearly need to declare an interest at this point :-)

Do you know which pickups are fitted to yours? I think I read somewhere that Fender had done a set to match the original '72 bass GL had, but of course I may well be talking bollocks.

Very nicely put across too. So do you sell happiness Mr C?

Thanks, I'm well chuffed with it.

I had a Seafoam MIJ 62RI Jazz, cracking bass, no idea why I sold it. Probably chuffin' GAS.

I head SOTW from this gig on the radio and I thought it sounded pretty lame so have avoided this in case of disappointment. I say the "classic" line up a few times in the dim and distant past and remember those gigs very fondly.

Forgot to add that I picked the 32ohm version in case the preamp died when I was was out and about and I could then plug the 'phones straight into the source without presenting too a big a load for a portablbe music player.

Per above really. I use them when I have to, or it makes sense to do so. A couple of my basses have zero frets but in all honesty I can't hear a great deal of difference. None at all in a live band situation.

I have the 32ohm DT770 and drive them with a Fiio E12. They work very well together.

Here are the orginal Limelight pics with the plain p/g.

Kubichi X factor I think it was called.

I put some Fender Original 7150L Pure Nickel Wound (40/60/80/100) on my 66P which sound really nice.

Cheeky 86%, but one was a very lucky guess.

Sad news indeed. Loved each and everyone of the AC/DC gigs I've been to over the years.

This, from Limelight. We used pics of the original plus from the Mega$ US CS version to try to make it look as close as possible. The original pics on the Limelight porn thread need to be re-instated which I will do tonight, but here's a quick preview as I found a pic on my phone.

Will do. Here's one I have on the phone, the others are on my PC at home.

Loving the industrial look.

Most of mine are less than 9lbs due to neck injuries from rugby. My lightest is (surprisingly for me) a Sandberg Cali II VS at a touch over 7lbs. I find it makes a significant difference over a long gig or rehearsal.

We do Shang-a-lang (Bay City Rollers) for which I am obliged to activate my taste bypass pedal. Trouble is it normally goes down a storm at the end of an evening.
