I have the Corona chorus and I can't ever remember which TP I've got. I've now stopped faffing and settled for the Tom Hamilton Sweet Emotion chorus. Well done for feeding back to TC by the way, TC is the kind of company that listens to customers so hopefully we'll see an evolution of features in the future. Corona Chorus is absolutely fantastic.

[quote name='foxyFuze' timestamp='1507734905' post='3387604'] @Sean, I've been looking at getting another P/J and going for the Nighttrain pickups - a useable tone from the P when I need it, and not too scooped? [/quote] Definitely not scooped. Through your GK it’ll be like 1987 all over again ;-)

I’ve always supported smaller British business where i can; Shuker, MJW, DHA, Hot Rod (Pickups), Barefaced, Etc. I’d be on the phone to Bloodstone telling him your preferences, asking for some advice and seeing what he comes up with. I really value being able to discuss the products I buy with the man that makes them. If it doesn’t work out for you try Hot Rod pickups in Colchester. I have a set of Nighttrain PJ pups from there and they are fabulous. I also have a custom set of Jazz pups from HR too, just no Jazz to put them in!

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1507702774' post='3387278'] Asking about the components of the bass in the OP is discussing the bass in the OP , surely that's not derailing , it's discussing the bass and the builder? I've no doubt limelights are great , never heard or seen anything but positives about them , and I'd like one My only question is how do they end up with a Fender badge on ? [/quote] +1 Some on-topic musings for digestion: It’s not a Fender however it passes itself off as a Fender. Is it OK for a British company that produces quality instruments to do this? I know Limelight makes no pretence about it being a genuine Fender, so does this make it OK? I know a lot people object to many Chinese copies and say that this activity dilutes the brand. Is it a fake? In many respects it’s probably better than many Fender instruments but it’s still a fake in my one good eye. Do owners tell people, “I have a fake Fender.”? Or do they enter into some extended diatribe about how they have a “custom one-off replica” that’s been crafted from parts of unknown origins but is absolutely top notch in all respects and is far superior to the real thing? Enlighten me, I don’t know. Build me a nice bass, yes but keep the “F” logo off it. That would be my preference but we’re all different. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I really like an aged sonic blue P.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1507672866' post='3387228'] And we're derailing this NBD thread! [/quote] If asking genuine questions about the new bass and its manufacturer, background and parts is derailing then I apologise. It’s not like I’ve butted in with a story about some bass I own and made irrelevant sidetracks. Maybe we should have a pre-written scope and rules for what you can and can’t say in a NBD thread. I thought one of the purposes of an NBD thread was to introduce the uninitiated to brands they were not previously aware of and to propagate discussions about the instrument therefore raising awareness and interest. Maybe an extension of posting guidelines is required?

[quote name='Deep Thought' timestamp='1506960264' post='3382329'] One of my favorite guitar players is Neil Young-love his tone. [/quote] +1000 Awesome player. Also, Ronnie Wood. Fabulous stuff always. The man knows how to entertain audiences using a guitar.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1507668761' post='3387187'] That information, as with the origin of pickups, is not available. However every Limelight I've owned has been first rate as far as sound and playability goes. [/quote] Why isn’t it available? Is it unavailable or is Limelight keeping it secret?

What are used as the donor body and neck? What’s the origin? Just interested, that’s all.

Lee’s a top buyer. Great comms and let me know when it had arrived. Another great Basschat deal.

I sold a pedal to TF. Excellent comms, prompt payment and one thing I really appreciate, a quick note to tell me when it's arrived. 100%. Enjoy.

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1478553382' post='3169907'] Hmm slightly concerning. I had one of these on my Christmas list for home practice with an iPad. Are you using an app e.g. Amplitube? [/quote] I’ve got the original one, <£9 Amazon Prime. Works a treat, no issues.

I use a comp in front of all my valve amps. It needs setting slightly differently to when I use it through the Mesa Walkabout for example but valve amps don’t negate the need for a comp. As far as tube sim, try it, see what it sounds like. I had an EBS multicomp years ago and found it excellent. Suck it and see.

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1507424892' post='3385416'] Do you mean you were too loud onstage or too loud out front with the Two10? [/quote] Both. The TWO10 (4 ohm setting) is like anyone else’s 4x10. It moves that much air.

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1507367248' post='3384953'] I absolutely love my One10 but would never consider gigging with even 2 of them in a rock band without a PA. If I found myself in a rock band again with no PA then the only cab I would consider in the Barefaced range would be the Big Twin II or a combination of two of the smaller 12" cabs. They are fantastic cabs and way louder than what you'd expect but 2x10"s against a rock drummer and guitarist I think would be pushing them too far [/quote] I've gigged my Mesa 400+ through my BF Two10 with two loud guitarists and drummer in a metal/rock covers band and they asked me to turn down. The TWO10 will do the job. I also have a SIX10 and a BT2 and can confirm that the TWO10 eats it.

15% of the total is 4-string fretless. I'm surprised by that, I thought it would be less. That means that one in seven are four string fretless basses.

Did a trade with Jay. Really cool to deal with, excellent comms, well packaged, great service all round. Another great Basschat experience. Highly recommended

[quote name='DHA' timestamp='1506884406' post='3381804'] Thanks Sean, all sold now and many thanks to those that purchased. I am putting them together over the next couple of weeks and will be posting out in the order they where ordered in. The intention is to do more screen-printed versions of other models plus some new ones over the next few months. regards Dave [/quote] Cheers, Dave. Can’t wait :-)
