  1. Awesome looking bass... Can we get some photos of the back please?
  2. I'm amazed this hasn't sold yet. A stunning looking example.
  3. [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1418998640' post='2635590'] What winds me up is a BMW M3 logo on a badly done up 318, and im not even a car nut!! [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Oh I don't know, a BMW M3 logo on a badly done up 318 amuses me.[/font][/color]
  4. Hmmmm I wonder if you can get an ebony fingerboard too - I think ebony looks closer to Brazilian rosewood than Indian rosewood...
  5. Are the dots inbounds clay on limelights? I played a couple but never checked that.
  6. A '64 Jazz 5... Nice!
  7. Killer price!
  8. I've got an idea... get her to tell you what her dream wedding ring would be... then tell her you don't like it and that you're paying
  9. I will definitely hold onto it now... I started regretting my decision about 3 weeks after selling it so went down to Absolute Music in Poole where they had 3 US Standard Fender Jazz Basses in stock and played each of them. None of them felt anywhere near as nice as the one I’d sold. I genuinely couldn’t believe the differences between the basses could be so vast considering all three were the same US Standard models. Thankfully, Nick got in contact, was an absolute gent and kindly offered me first refusal
  10. [size=3] [/size] [size=3]I recently played a couple of Limelights and have owned a number of pretty nice Bravewoods in the past and, personally speaking, none of them have gotten near to the look or feel of my '64 Fender Jazz Bass. I don’t think it’s something that can actually be picked up in photographs either. I can’t really put my finger on what it is but when I see a Limelight/Bravewood in a photo, I think that they look pretty great, but when I’ve actually got one in my hand and look at my genuine ’64 Jazz sat next to it, the Limelight/Bravewood looks and feels reliced in my opinion... [/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]Having said all this, if they float your boat, go for it![/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]I was actually thinking of asking Mark at Limelight to build me an Olympic white/matching headstock '64 Jazz with zero relicing. As close to what a real Jazz would have been delivered to someone brand new from the factory back in '64 but then I decided to buy a 6-string instead [/size]
  11. Wow... a stunning Jazz... And 8.8lbs is crazy light for a 70s Fender. Enjoy.
  12. I sold my Jazz to Old Horse Murphy and then got the opportunity to buy it back. I snapped his hand off Lovely Japanese Jazz by the way... I'm quite jealous you know.
  13. Wow this is crazy beautiful!
  14. [sup]Head over to the classifieds and buy both [/sup]
  15. I've got 3 DD-6s and 3 DD-7s... love them
  16. Downloaded - a stunning piece of work.
  17. What software is used? I mean is it saved as an MP3, WAV, AIFF?
  18. No way - that Apogee Jam 96k is awesome!!!!!!
  19. I find the "When composing and executing such pieces, how does one know when it's over?" question a fascinating one. I'm currently working with another musician and a technologist that will result in a collaborative piece of music indeterminate in length. It'll always be running, the exact same motifs will never be heard together more than once and you, the listener will choose exactly when you start listening to the piece, for how long, and when you stop listening. I find the philosophy and the basic technological challenges behind such projects fascinating. When complete, the results will be published on a dedicated web site. This link will take you to a piece I recorded when these ideas started to form in my head a few years back. While it is indeterminate in a way, it does require manual intervention from the listener. You can decide which loop to play, when, where in the loop you'd like to start it and where in the loop you'd like to stop it. http://eatsleeprepeat.com/minuspilots_menu_edit.html
  20. Got a link to your solo loopy stuff?
  21. I enjoyed it. I also liked the fact that, at times, there was almost no sound at all coming through. Another success in my opinion.
  22. Yep Mac Mini... Or how about a second hand MacBook Pro? I saw a 2011 one sell on eBay for £450. And I'm pretty sure someone on here had an October 2010 one available for £400.
  23. And I'd keep two DD-7s if I had to downsize
  24. [quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1417361975' post='2619546'] Only two? That would be hard ... not counting a tuner, and not cheating with a multieffect I think maybe I'd go with a VT Bass DI (which in a way is a multi with dirt, EQ and DI) and maybe a chorus or phaser. I'm glad I don't have choose though. Edit: BTW, I have a similar picture I took only a few days ago ... [/quote] Hahaha that is awesome!!!!
  25. Wow that is really, really nice. Congratulations!
