    Never had any wifi issues. I've been using it at fortnightly rehearsals and monthly gigs for most of this year. Tend to stick to a laptop for the interface though - don't do much with a phone or tablet as we're all on stage. Always carry an ethernet cable just in case but never had to use it.

    Umezushi - cracking Japanese/sushi just across the road hidden in some industrial units on Mirabel St. Tiny place, brilliant food but just got reviewed by the Guardian so it might be hard to get a table. Definitely try though.

    Very happy with the low B on mine. Can't compare it to very high end stuff but tension, tone and volume are the same as the other four. Sounds massive when I hit it too!

    If they are the ones from the p special you bought from me then they are 'proper' wizards ordered from the wizard himself.

    Yep. Pretty straightforward to get a decent mix straight out of the box but we had to do a bit of tweaking after that to get it where we wanted. Good if you want up to 3 separate monitor mixes, it's let me start using in ears properly. If I was buying again I'd probably go for the 16 for the extra monitor outputs. Overall though it's a great bit of kit.

    Norm just bought a bass from me. Lovely guy and a completely fuss free deal. Really knows his stuff. Get the feeling the bass is going to be played a lot better than it was with me too! Andy

    Cheers Tom, Missed that, I assume it is meant to be Gotoh as I've never heard of Gotah. Andy

    Played our annual halloween gig at the George Hotel in Orton (near Tebay) last night. Always fun as they put us up so we can have a drink and a leisurely pack away. It was the busiest night of the year according to the landlady. Our new run of 80s pop/cheese in the second set worked brilliantly and even my horrendous tache didn't put people off too much. It was a bugger to sing with though and ended up being held on with gaffa tape!

    'Would you buy a guitar from this man?' Halloween fancy dress gig type bump.

    Hungry Like The Wolf into Danger Zone and back again. Takes folk a few seconds but worth it for the grins.

    Thanks gents. All PM's replied to. Still here at the moment. Andy

    We were forced to rejig the set on Saturday as the singer was on the tail end of a cold so some of the more immediately high stuff (rock & roll etc) had to go. Opened with Johnny B Goode, which I would never have thought of and the place went mad for it. Possibly a lucky combo of a fab crowd with just the right amount of beer but it just got them up and they didn't sit down again for the whole gig. Best gig in absolutely ages, and the new second set 80s cheese section (here I go again, gold, footloose, hungry like the wolf/dangerzone and so on) also worked like a charm. Hope they're all like that from now on! Andy

    Thanks Marc, I wasn't aiming for a trade but pm me your ideas anyway, you never know! Andy

    NOW SOLD [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling my fantastic Limelight jazz bass in light relic, rosewood board, Olympic White & tort. Please note this is NOT a Fender bass.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EDIT - trades wise - not a lot really, a decent IEM setup or I might be tempted by a 5 string P bass. [/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Specs are:[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Gotah Vintage Reverse tuners Aged Nitro-cellulose finished neck with Tusq nut, clay dots and hand rolled fingerboard edges Quality vintage bridge CTS pots and Sprague cap Vintage wired Vintage type Pick ups Switchcraft jack Light relic[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight is roughly 4.2 kg using the bathroom scales method.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've had this bass from new (about 18 months). I've had more comments about it than any other bass I've owned, I mean just LOOK at it! [size=1] [/size] The relic job is very good IMHO. I don't know what pickups Mark at classic & cool guitars puts in these things but they're big, fat, deep and generally gorgeous sounding. If I could get a set for my 5 string I would (I've asked, I can't). The neck is a little chunkier than other jazzes I've owned & played but still nice and comfy and the action is low.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So it looks, plays and sounds great, but I'm exclusively playing my 5 string and can't really justify such a good looking ornament. Even so I'm still wavering on whether to sell or not, it's a lovely, lovely thing.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I don't have a hard case to ship in so it's collection from South Manchester or meet up (within reasonable distance) only. Unless you're super keen in which case I could buy a case and ship (within the UK) at buyer's expense. I'd much rather you got the chance to try it first though.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers,[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Andy[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color]

    We've got the 112as and are really happy with them. I did not need to see this thread! 😉

    [quote name='Jow Bass' timestamp='1475927435' post='3149826'] I'll check it out will the supplier [/quote] Now that's customer service. Colour me interested for a five string if I can shift one of the stable.
  17. colleya
    Yes please! Sonic blue & tort 5er, phwoar!

    I've just swapped from a TH500 to a walkabout and IMHO there's much more low end presence. It just sounds bigger with the same bass and cabs. I've also had a LM2 and portaflex 500 in the past and couldn't get the same effect. The sound now has a physicality that it didn't before. Weight/portability difference barely registers, still a small amp bag, just a bit heavier. All completely subjective of course........

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1473013426' post='3126064'] I have Haeussel's in my Jake and they're nice, but my latest build from Mensinger is going to have a Delano P pickup in [/quote] I'm looking at going the opposite way, my Jake p/j was 2nd hand and came with Delanos but they don't really do it for me so looking at swapping. I love the sound of limelight pups but Mark doesn't do 5 string so considering the haeussels. Thanks for the advice and the link.

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1472854304' post='3124919'] I sent one with a query about a custom build about a week ago... [/quote] Thought you didn't fancy one Muzz? If you go for the haeussel pups I'd be interested in hearing them rather than ordering a set based on YouTube vids.

    I picked up a 5 string chambered Jake from the for sale board here. It's stupidly light and no neck dive at all. There's no tonal deficit that I've noticed, although I haven't A/Bed with a non chambered version.
  22. colleya
    Cheers WOT. I've managed to tame the Delanos with the walkabout eq but that's only at tickling pressure. I reckon they'll get a bit much when I get carried away and dig in at gig time. Off to hunt down the back of the sofa for pickup money now!

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1470938188' post='3109517'] Actually got to lay hands on one last night, (it was a sunburst P5), and the build quality was exemplary: certainly as good as a good example of the real thing from the US, if not better, and delightfully, erm, light. Wasn't too keen on the Delanos, but that's just me. [/quote] That would be this one then: Nice to meet you Muzz - traded my TH500 for his Walkabout and had a good chat. I'm slowly morphing into WOT! Following on from our chat about the Delanos I was coming on here to ask for advice about alternatives, they're too harsh for me so I think swapping them out is on the cards. At the moment I'm considering the Maruszcyzk house pups, haussels or maybe asking Mark to see if he'll do me a set of limelights (love the sound from those). Does anyone have any advice/opinions?

    I use G2 and G3 compacts together in the gig rig. Sounds great. Andy

    [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1468150366' post='3088832'] Well we did the gig last night and it went down really well, our drummer was amazing, and the good thing to come from it is that we now know that we have TWO excellent vocalists in our band, which means we are very versatile and should be able to fulfil most gigs barring the whole band going down with something all at once. [/quote] Good innit? 😃
