I have to drive pretty much past the front door on my way to/from work. It's a bloody marvel I'm not miles poorer!

I've bought a bass, practice amp and other bits from Drew and it's always been great service. Happy to let me try every toy in the shop and never even glanced at his watch.

Love my trib L2500. I a/b-ed it with the USA version when buying and it was so close that I couldn't justify the extra few hundred quid. There's one in the for sale section for £300 at the mo, that's just ridiculously cheap.

I'm getting VERY close.

Oh good, that means there'll be a 2nd hand one near me for sale in about 6 months!

Loving this setup at the moment.

Gen 2 compact

One trip from the car, even with the extra hydrive 1x12 I use for a little more 'width' at gigs. Sounds and looks great IMHO.

Think all gigs are cancelled until further notice Les. I'd keep an eye on their twitter account and NWB.co for any more info.

Not sure if this is the done thing on this forum, mods please move or let me know if it isn't.

Just heard that John, landlord at the OMT passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. I reckon if you're involved in the Manchester/North West covers scene then there's a good chance that you've played there at some point. John liked live music and good beer and ran the pub with both. They've put 3 bands on a weekend for as long as I can remember, so this is just to say thanks to John for giving weekend hackers such as myself a stage to throw shapes on, helpful advice and a fantastic pint after the gig. The world needs more landlords like him. Rest in peace.

Andy

Sold Damon my P special. Great buyer who kept in touch and put up with my poor navigation skills. Cheers!

Andy

And sold to Damon. Enjoy it mate.

Turns out we both went to see the Foos last night. Seeing Nate rock a P in the same colour combo made his mind up, and almost made me keep it instead!

On hold pending the usuals.

Nice Jazz, I think that's one of the lightest 'relics' I've seen on a Limelight.
[/quote]

I was surprised how light it was too. Looking at all the pics on here I was expecting it to be more beaten up and I was initially a bit disappointed that it wasn't,but it's really grown on me the more I use it.

Had mine for a couple of months now. It's taken me a bit to get used to the thicker vintage style neck and I still haven't quite got the action spot on, but it is a very lovely thing indeed and has had a fair few compliments on appearance already.

Andy

Thanks for the comments guys. The neck is indeed super slim - much slimmer than my LimeLight J.

There's been some interest but nothing absolutely concrete yet, and I won't be gutted if it doesn't go for while yet as it is fab.

Andy

Reluctant, want to keep it but have to sell one type bump...

Unscientific bathroom scales weight is 9.2lb type bump.

[font=Arial][size=4]Fender Precision Special PJ - a P body with a J width maple neck. This is a 1998 MIM passive version bought a few years ago from this parish. A lovely bass with a great low action, but GAS struck and it's one in one out at Colley towers so no trades thanks.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=4]It's CAR with a black pick guard - I also have the original anodised gold one and Gotoh 201 bridge (again, I have the original Fender BBOT if you prefer).[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=4]I had the pickups upgraded to Wizards by Steve Robinson (Manchester Guitar Tech) a while ago but must have reused or sold the originals. This means that the gold guard doesn't quite fit over the pups in the bass, but the black one in the pics fits fine. [/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=4]It's in good condition, a couple of minor headstock dings, one small paint chip on the underside and one slightly bent elephant ear - all present when I bought the bass. I've tried to show them in the pics.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=4]I'm based in South Manchester and would MUCH prefer meet up to sell. I can travel reasonable distances for petrol or buyer is welcome to arrange own courier.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=4]Anyway, pics:[/size][/font]

Playing in a classic rock covers band a few years ago at a full on rock pub. It should have been a perfect fit but for whatever reason the crowd weren't warming to us. Towards the end of the second set, a massively drunken bloke stumbles across the dance floor between songs and yells:

"You're better than this!"

We weren't.

Andy

Got my L2500 trib from GBBL a year and a bit ago and have been delighted with it. I use it almost exclusively in passive and still had to drop the pups to tame it!

It sounds immense through my LM2 and BF compact, but last night at rehearsal I plugged it through my new Tonehammer 500 and it was another level - try that combination if you get the chance.

Andy

The bass arrived yesterday but I only got to unbox it today. It is a very lovely thing indeed and really growls (I didn't understand what people meant by that until this afternoon) even at house volume. Couldn't get any better pics than the ones from Mark a few posts up, but I'm a happy boy

Lucky you.
Mine (#00148) has been travelling all over England and didn't even leave for the mainland yet. It's going to take all of next week to arrive, i presume...

That sucks! Hope it finds its way home soon. Cracking colour.

Lucky you colleya - don't forget to post pics when it arrives
... so I can feel jealous!
[/quote]

Your wish is my command, got a few more pics from Mark. I changed my mind about 10,000 times on the colour combo before I finally pushed the button but just couldn't get past Oly/Tort/Rw.

Fantastic seller. I bought a Tonehammer 500 from Andy on a Tuesday evening. He packaged and posted it on the Wednesday and it arrived In perfect condition on Thursday. Thanks again!

Andy

This pic arrived in my inbox today, just got to wait for the courier to deliver on Friday now

[attachment=185534:016.JPG]

Been having a look at these for a little while. You have a PM.

Andy

No problem with going further out either. Blueprint has good free parking after 6 on weeknights, not sure about weekends. It's also close to Victoria for train & tram and there's a pub across the road. As far as my experience of rehearsal rooms go, it's very nice - as our singer said "it's even got girls' toilets!". It was just the first place that came to mind when I saw 'Manchester'.

There are however a few of the dreaded stairs! *hides*
