Proper yummy, best colours for a P

Cheers chaps, yes definitely enjoying this pair. Gigged the Limelight last Friday and it had a lovely warm tone through my Orange rig for the soul band...was very old school and Jamerson heaven yet with great definition on every note. I also used the SUB last night with a relatively new 90's covers band and I really enjoyed the fullness, and aggressiveness, of that bass. As many have mentioned before me I think the trick with stingray's is to cut at the preamp and then add to taste rather than full on zing, in doing this I got some nice warm tones with the SUB and could add deeper bass for more dubby/dance tracks i.e. Massive Attack tracks. Although I can't stop breaking into old Chili's & RATM riffs...the Stingray sound somehow transports me to the 90's I think haha Can't make up my mind if tort should go on the black sub....sorry Discreet

1) I missed my old Limelight P lots....Limelight is just up the road...road trip and bought an amazing Thin Lizzy replica..... but not a big fan of the mirror guard so fitted a tort guard and some cream pick up covers...plays and sounds sublime. 2) I missed having a Stingray vibe around but didn't want to pay out £700-800+ for a second and one, always liked the US SUB's and got this stunner at half the price recently... plays and sounds sublime too. Happy bunny.....Nuff said'

I enjoy trying lots of different basses and never get attached to anything I plan to sell....apart from my Limelight P I sold a few months back. So much so I went to my Devon Limelight friend yesterday and alas I went for the Thin Lizzy Precision...feels like coming home..and it did. Gigged as well last night, love it. There's a little bit of magic in every limelight I've tried...magic I rarely get in other Precisions

I got one of these for £24, so far very impressed 👍🏾

Have always liked the outro on the Chili Pepper's 'Sir Psycho Sexy', not the most technical but I like it. Also the spacey groove outro on Gong's 'Flying teapot'.

Limelight or Lakland Duck Dunn spring to mind. The Farida's as mentioned are great too

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1449222695' post='2921625'] Not an amp expert but my first thought is it the tube in the pre amp? I say that as it filters out eventually, is it going as the tube warms up?. And too add I have read the amp will work with no tube so if you know what your doing then no harm in pulling the tube and it running all solid state if it still does it then least you know it's Not the tube, if it is the tube then an easy fix. PLEASE don't go poking around in the amp if you ain't sure though and know the dangerous etc!!! [/quote] Cheers for that. Good thinking about the tube. The tube is sadly soldered to the board on these babies. I have a dial on the front to switch between solid state and tube...i'll leave it on the solid state setting and see if i still get the problem. Despite being a social worker now, my first career was as an electrical engineer so am ok delving in...that said i was terrible with electronics which is why I'm probably a social worker now haha

Sold my Sire V7 5 string to Ian, a pleasure to deal with throughout - a credit to basschat

Just purchased a wonderful USA Musicman Sub from Dunc. Dunc was a true gent and pleasure to deal with throughout - definitely one of the good guys and I highly recommend.

Hi all, My Markbass amp is making a fizzy farty noise randomly with nothing plugged in to the amp but the speaker. Have changed speakers/leads and still have the same issue, so definitely the amp. It makes a loud buzz, hissing noise (no snake inside ) and then tends to filter out after about 30 seconds or so..... Sound familiar to anyone????...any tips greatly appreciated Anyone know a good repairier near the SouthWest...i bought this amp via here so no warranty sadly. Cheers
