  1. My Limelight Jazz is up for sale as I am now moving towards shorter scale basses. I've owned this since around January and it's been solid. Real lovely worn-in feel to the neck and vintage quack from the pups. Nice low action, currently strung with a set of D'addario rounds (105 - 45.) Personally I think the light relic looks gorgeous. Mark at Limelight obviously knows what he's doing here. At the time, it was a toss up between this and Flea signature and the Limelight won by a mile for sound, looks and playability. It's wonderfully balanced, I make it out to weigh about 4.1kg. Specs are: Gotoh 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 Bass is in Leicester, you're welcome to come try it out through my amps if you like. Alternatively, I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet you if need be. I'm pretty experienced as far as shipping is concerned (have a proper hardcase it can go in) but I would massively prefer you to see / play the bass first. I would hate for it to be damaged in transit. Shipping in the UK would be about £30. Thanks for looking. Chris.
  2. Whole variety of tuners for sale after a spring clean. All sets of tuners are in good condition, good working order and come with mounting screws (except the set of Fenders.) Postage to UK Mainland included in the price. Alternatively you can come and collect from Leicester. Please click on subtitles for pictures. [url="http://imgur.com/ZKpjjnq"][b]Reliced Gotoh Lollipops - £110[/b][/url] Bought these on a whim off Facebook with the intention of putting them on my number 1 jazz but didn't fancy drilling holes in her so they're up for sale. According to the lovely chap I bought them off (are you on here Mark?) they're custom order so you might struggle to get another set of these. Just trying to make back what I paid for them. They're seriously lovely and I'll be very jealous of who gets them. These were reliced by Gotoh upon production. [b][url="http://imgur.com/LaYkFov"]Gotoh resolite reverse wind - £[/url]75 (approx £104 new)[/b] My favourite type of tuner, just surplus to requirement. [b][url="http://imgur.com/6I2euVR"]Hipshot Ultralite - £[/url]75 (approx £25 a piece if bought new)[/b] As new, in packaging. [b][url="http://imgur.com/pE9fipd"]Hipshot Ultralite D tuner - £75[/url] (approx £110 new)[/b] As new in packaging with all the mounting gubbins and instructions.

[url="http://imgur.com/8eUtrtQ"][b]Japanese Fender Tuners - £40[/b][/url] These came off a Japanese Fender PB62 - decent build quality and hold tune well. Please note these do not come with any mounting screws.
  3. I use the titanium version with the small tips. I've used them about 30 times and they've lasted just fine. However, when I initially received them I tried out the medium tips first. Upon deciding they were too large I tried to remove them and they just came apart in my hands. I was applying very little force and was using the suggested removal method. I like them though and would buy replacement tips when the time comes.

  5. One gone, rest still available. Willing to do deals.
  6. How do you like them together? Thinking of getting one for my Orange...
  7. Lovely chap, bought his equally lovely AD200b off of him yesterday. He even drove some distance out to meet me - always a great help. A great smooth transaction and would happily do business again! Chris.
  8. For sale: my big ol' stack of portable TC Electronic stuff. Served me really well this past year's gigging but I want a change and, as space is limited, everything must go! [b]RH750 - £475 inc. shipping.[/b] Good condition, small scratch to the top of the chassis. Couple of the buttons have that characteristic cracking to them but TC will post you a free set out if you feel the need (never got round to it. I might if this hangs round for a few days.) All works as it should and it sounds great. Really lightweight and easy to carry if you're in a hurry. Comes with RS4 footswitch and gigbag. Great to use just as a DI for recording purposes - all the tone and no speaker load required. [url="http://imgur.com/a/Xcf5Q"]Pictures here. [/url] [b]RS212 - £250[/b] Good condition, some minor cosmetic scuffage / chips to the base of the unit as this was always the bottom of the stack. Works as it should - big 'n' beefy. Relatively light as a I remember (24kg.) Comes with the appropriate cover. [url="http://imgur.com/a/6gyAi"]Pics.[/url] [s][b]RS210 - £280 - SOLD [/b] Unused, ungigged. Bought this new and never took it out of the house as the other two cabinets did more than enough for me. Not much more to say about this one! 21kg. One small scratch on the top which it unfortunately picked up in transit.[/s] [url="http://imgur.com/a/EObo0"]Pics.[/url] [s][b]RS210 - £250[/b] Used condition as it's been gigged many times. Minor cosmetic damage to the base of the unit and a small split at the bottom of the cabinet. I banged some gorilla glue in there and it's held just fine - no signs of further cracking. Still sounds great! No cover.[/s] [url="http://imgur.com/a/FB3VA"]Pics[/url] All cabinets are 400w and 8ohms. Shipping not a problem on the head. I'm willing to ship the cabinets but it's likely to be expensive due to the weight and size. I also drive so, if it's a reasonable distance, I'm willing to do that for petrol money. Reasonable distances from Leicester only. Willing to do a large discount if some mad person were willing to buy the lot. Any questions or extra pics please PM me. Jonse.
  9. Now sold, finally got round to updating everything, thanks all.

  11. I have sent you a message [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Grégoire.[/font][/color]
  12. If this is still here in a few weeks I'd love it. Doubtful though.
  13. Pristine 2013 Japanese reissue of the Fender Bass vi. This one has the pickguard and pickup condoms still on, even the bag containing the paperwork and trem arm hasn't been opened. The finish on this is a work of art. I know it's a cliché but the photos really don't do it justice. The action is nice and low, making it a joy to play. The floating bridge does suffer from a small amount of the typical rattle but Staytrem make a great replacement if you really feel the need. I really like the middle pickup on this, it's got a lovely, meaty grunt to it yet all the electronics work superbly. I wish I could justify keeping this, but needs must. Strung and setup with discontinued Fender 5350's. These had a 95 low E which addressed some of the floppiness common with the lighter string sets. These basses are pushing £1400+ now on sites such as Reverb and Ebay. I can't find another one for sale here in the UK. Apparently only 90 were ever sent to the USA, God knows how many made it over here.

It is indeed a rare bird and was originally released in 1961 and was commercially available up to the early '70's. This is a rare opportunity to get a re-issued retro style Fender VI 6-string bass that has been made in Japan and which is depicted here in 3 Tone Sunburst.[/i] [i]A faithful reissue but with additional reinforcement from a high purity titanium bar in the neck to address the weak point of the original model given the extra tension of the strings.[/i] [i]Japanese Fenders, in this case made by Dyna Gakki factory, its high-end instruments that are actually intended for the Japanese market and not for export. This handmade guitars and basses are however highly sought after due to their combination of vintage design and excellent finish. Thus, it looks in the direction of the American Vintage series, while the build quality is equal to that of the professional American Standard models.[/i] [i]The body has been made using Alder combined with an oval shaped Maple neck, the fretboard has inlaid dots for fret orientation. Sound comes courtesy of 3 x JG Vintage single coil pick-ups which are managed via a number of sliding switches mounted onto the scratchplate, these are made up of 3 x Pick-up On/Off switches plus a Low Cut switch which is used to diminish some of the low end tone on the pick-ups. There is also a Master Volume and Master tone rotary controller whilst the bridge is a floating tremolo bridge with individual saddles, the headstock is a 1970's style over-sized headstock with guitar style machine heads.[/i] There is no original case for it (allegedly cases weren't included) however I do have a heavy duty hardshell case that I will happily send it in. I am willing to ship, but please contact me regarding this. Collection also available. I'm also willing to meet part way (reasonable distances only.) I'm in Leicester.

  14. Bought this on here about three years ago with the intent of getting a family member into playing a musical instrument. Let's just say it hasn't been touched in the last three years. I believe it was originally sold on here by Davy and in turn I bought it from highwayone. I believe this would make a great modding platform or a decent upgrade from a beginner's instrument. [attachment=240639:IMG_20170315_170915.jpg] [u][b]The good points: [/b][/u] Lovely orange finish! (Was originally blue at some stage) (Incredibly loud) US Fender pickup and decent looking electronics Nice, straight and fat precision neck. Feels wide but shallow. Really lets you throttle the life out of it on those punk tunes. Stays in tune well Lots of life left in the frets Decently low action [u][b]The not so good points:[/b][/u] Strange dents in the pickguard (been there ever since I've had it) Two mismatched tuner screws (look like pickguard screws. They hold and there's no real risk of any wood splitting) Some buzz when not in contact with the bass, mainly due to the dilapidated wiring in my house and no shielding in the control cavity. Never have had the time to get around to addressing that. Some minor nicks and dents of which don't photograph well. That's about it really. I'm willing to ship (in a gigbag, inside a guitar box with packaging) for an extra £20. Alternatively you can collect (Leicester) or I'm willing to meet you half way if it's a reasonable distance. More pictures available at the link [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/aa6is5p0j7y0xz5/AAA_Ml23FL-3xwKO4vNxo3tKa?dl=0"]here[/url]. Any more questions please message me. Jonse.
  15. Still available. More than happy to negotiate on price.

  17. Weekly bump. Potential new bass on the horizon...
  18. Cheers all, it's a great bass. I bought it initially to try a nice short scale but it wasn't meant to be!
  19. [quote name='BigJim' timestamp='1485783705' post='3226625'] What colour is the original pickguard and why the change? [/quote] That would have been some useful info... It's a 3 ply black guard. One of the corners has snapped off at some point.
