  1. Particularly good if a band has brass in it. They like to play in Eb and Bb so it’s nice to have a low root note.
  2. How ice to see a Limelight that hasn’t got all the paint ripped off!
  3. That Eastwood looks more like an Eko or a Teisco than a Höfner. Personally I wouldn’t give it house room.
  4. I was watching that too while I tried to research them. Never seen one previously and couldn’t find a review. Well done for being t he brave one, I hope it is a real pleasure to play.
  5. £650 for a Mex? Send it back it should be perfect for that. I got my US Gibson for less and it was perfect.
  6. Do you want short scale like the ebo or long scale like a precision or jazz bass? Short scale will really restrict your choices whereas every bass manufacturer on the planet makes long scale basses. Just go to a guitar shop and try them!
  7. I love the look of them, but not the price! Importing direct must have cost you an arm and a leg! It looks short scale but having looked at Lakland ‘ s website it says it’s long. Which? I think I saw Garry Tallent of E-Street band using one one a recent concert. Must be quite good to lure him off Spectors.
  8. I agree with Happy Jack about checking out the B to make sure it’s not floppy. However I have both 34 & 35 which are both fine. Spector are great and 5’s are generally 35”. Look for a Legend rather than Performer, should be within budget. You get the curved body which is Spector’s speciality.
  9. I notice it’s made in Arroyo Grande California. My daughter lives there, didn’t know they had a luthier in the town. It’s just down the road from San Luis Obispo, home of Music Man.
  10. Congratulations. That’s a great looking bass, do I detect a little tip of the hat towards Ric? I am amazed it’s under 7lb.
  11. Not so much fakers - perfect clones. Fab-u-Lous.
  12. You probably won’t like this, it’s a 2013 Gibson EB.
  13. Always loved the look of these but never had a chance to play one. It seems surprising heavy at 4.4k for a chambered body.
  14. Don’t know why Fender dropped these, good shape, what’s the weight like? I haven’t heard of mint red before 😆😁😃😂
  15. I had the strap fitment come undone mid gig and my Jazz bass hit the ground knocking over the aviom unit in the process . Not cool.
  16. Looks like you may become the test case!
  17. Why’s the neck on back to front on the Limelight? Must make tuning awkward. There was a reason why Leo designed 4 on one side.
  18. I thin k it should be a Rickenfaker, 4003 shape but with a hollow body. Nice big slash ‘f’ hole like the 360. Try a piezo pickup bridge like the Fishman to give it an alternative sound to what e er magnetic pickup grabs your fancy!
  19. Used to have an Olympic white US Precision Fretless with a white guard - the one I shouldn’t have let go! Sadly I can’t find an pics of it 😢
  20. Bling ‘snot my thing, but definitely cool, you should have had Elvis’ gold suit too!
