    This is indeed an awesome looking and sounding bass - and much missed in these parts! Think I've read somewhere that Thunderbucker Ranch (Steve?) is no longer making pickups, so potentially an even rarer bass on sale here. GLWTS Nik!👍

    Hope you all have a great day today guys, sorry I couldn't make it.

    Banks' closure will leave quite a hole in York's retail landscape as well as depriving us of quite a decent music shop. Helpful staff and a decent selection of instruments, though the usual brands and no second hand stuff.

    Like others, I came to 6 via getting a motor with DAB (so that'll be 2011 and the Mondeo). I tend to dip in and out and avoid any repetition from the playlists, but enjoy the weekend and evening slots particularly. Gideon Coe has accompanied many a drive home from rehearsal. I miss Shaun Keaveny though...

    If I didn't already have an ABG, I'd be all over this. Bargain price!

    Just sold a Limelight Jazz to Mart. He's a excellent fella, very straightforward and great to deal with. Recommended - deal with confidence!

    Blue Öyster Cult on Tuesday at De Montford Hall, Leicester. Haven't seen them for 20 years, looking forward to it!

    Didn't Hooky notice it was missing?

    I'm away for the weekend, but will have a look on Monday. I think we're talking roughly £25 uninsured but can't remember how much that would be on top. I would also need to supply a hard case for the insurance to be valid. I'll come back to you. Where are you located?
  18. howdenspur
    Thanks! No, it's an standard Jazz body shape....must be the angles!

    Saw them in October '77 at the Top Rank, Cardiff. They were quite awesome as was the support, the Dictators. There was a comedian, Johnny Rubbish, sandwiched in between the two bands. He only managed one line: "I hear you Welsh can't play rugby..." before making a hasty and early exit.

    I have for sale my Limelight '64 Jazz in Candy Apple Red and what Classic and Cool describe as a "medium relic". Per the C&C website, the bass features: Gotoh reverse tuners Aged Nitro-cellulose finished neck with Tusq nut, clay dots and hand rolled fingerboard edges with matching headstock Alder body finished in nitro-cellulose Candy Aple Red over silver base coat. Quality vintage bridge CTS pots and Sprague cap Vintage wired Alnico Pick ups Switchcraft jack It has recently been serviced by Mormusic in York and everything works as it should. The bass is great to play and has the the full palette of sounds you would expect from a quality instrument. Weight is (with the bathroom scales method) 9lb 10oz or 4.4Kg. I would very much prefer a pick up/meet up to posting the bass. Photos are below, let me know if you'd like to see more. Thanks for looking! Price reduced to £795 Trades...outright sale preferred, but I might be interested in: Bass VI, An electric or electro acoustic guitar.

    Met up with Nik (or rather, he kindly came and met Mrs H and me in our holiday hotel) for some gear trading. As always, Nik was a gent and great company - we had a good chat around matters bass and other important issues over a pint. To the next time Nik! 😂

    Better late than never I guess, saw Khurangbin at Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday. They were awesome - would love to have caught the Glastonbury set in person to compare.
