Hello matey... still remember collecting it from you at Conkers! It's the nicest playing P bass I've owned, but the arthritis has won now (neck, back, shoulders and now hitting left hand)and as much as it guts me theres no point it just sitting in a case gathering dust. Been soul searching for about 6 months over letting her go. -
I do indeed

Price is ONO. I bought this way back close to covid days in summer 2021 from @hiram.k.hackenbacker on this very site. The bass can be found on "Classic and Cool"'s gallery of limelights - its number 0236. From what I recall it is a one-piece selected body, bass is slightly reliced, jazz profile neck and all the usual limelight stuff - clay dots, nitro lacquer, reliced parts etc. I changed the tort pickguard for a black one and fitted aged schaller straplocks. The bridge saddles were a little over reliced, and were replaced by the previous owner. The case it came in has been replaced with a Fender Hard case, and will also come with a Fender soft case My health issues are now so bad I cant justify keeping it any longer. Ideally due to my mobility issues and having used all my suitable packing boxes selling off other instruments, I'd prefer collection from Tamworth, Staffs

1976 Precision - All original REDUCED £2000
Nibody replied to Dannygno123's topic in Basses For Sale
If I told you how much I sold my 76 for in 2000 (With a trace elliot 7215SM combo) you’d cry. Wish I could affford this - but life’s got a bit iffy (already disabled out of the workforce and Wifey has just been diagnosed with ME and will be joining me). I loved my 76.. it was fantastic. Free bump and GLWTS -
Pay 1400 for a Nate Mendel signature? No thanks. Early 90s Squier neck, Red over Silver base coat later Squier body (looks like CAR in the flesh - not sure what the Squier colour is), Omega Badass clone, SD Quarter Pounders and the usual CTS/Switchcraft/Sprague electronics with a B/W/B pick guard. Noice.

Vintage "Coaster" 5 string Jazz.. EMG's DO NOT fit.
Nibody replied to Nibody's topic in Repairs and Technical
I did consider it. In the end I returned the set to Thomann and picked up a set of EMG JXN’s- they are advertised as 4/5 string pickups and they are a bit of a tight fit but do fit. Laughably they are known to have a low output (mad I know) but have decided to stick with them. I have an old “Activ8” preamp floating around in the pats cupboard so if I decide to go back to the stock pickups I may try that. -
Being 99% retired now due to health, a buddy and my former keys/synth guy asked me to record some "real" bass for his EDM track. Picked up a cheap Vintage Coaster as it was cheap and wasn't planning on keeping it, and didn't have a 5'er any more. As it turns out it's a brilliant bass for the money, soundwise and build wise, but the pickups are a little low output. Always had EMG's on my fives so picked up a set of EMG J5's... it's a 5 string jazz... of course they will pretty much fit...... no need to measure.... NOPE. There is a good 2cm overall width difference with the EMG's being the larger, and the mounting lugs are a good cm further apart on the EMG's.... GAAAAHHHH. Really didn't want to start routing the bass as wanted the option to remove the pickups and return it to stock when and if the novelty wears off.

Thanks buddy. Saddly its got worse though they found the artery wasnt calcified. The Spondylosis has hit both my neck/shoulders and my lower back so I'm walking with a stick and on pretty industrial strength pain killers and had to give up my driving licence on medical grounds. I don't come on here much now, and dont get to play much - too painful (though I do still try! Wife bought me an old Trace Elliot GP12SMXX that lives in the living room) Can't cope with more than 5 or ten minutes though. Keep meaning to offload my gear as I'll never play live and my kids have no interest but.. its like throwing away pictures of a lost family member - just can't do it.

I still have it though sadly rampant spondylosis means it’s a case queen sadly. Bloody nice bass too.

I own 00236 (based on John Deacons Live Aid bass) - bought on this very forum just before my health went down the drain. They are fantastic basses. Will have to bite the bullet and let mine go one day because I heavily doubt I’ll get to play it in anger again 🫤. GLWTS. -
For Sale Limelight Jazz Bass Olympic White - *SOLD*
Nibody replied to 4 candles's topic in Basses For Sale
Which number is this out of interest (I have 0236)? I think I need a Windeeze, the bass and the fact you're up the road have given me bad gas - someone buy this before I do something the wife will make me regret... -
Just had a look in my usual “repositories” for boxes. The original box and packing box are long gone sorry. Had to give up my licence due to health so can’t even ask the Brum music shops if they have a box ☹️ -
I’ll look into it. Not sure if I have a box large enough.

2000w FRFR powered cab, partner to my HX stomp pedalboard (adverised in the Effects forum) - Feeler at the moment. Would prefer for it to go with the pedalboard. Not in a rush to sell, it just seems a waste it sitting around gathering dust as I am never going to be in a position to play live again.
