    Someone Eldon here eckoned the Squier JV was better than a MIM and nearly as good as a US.
  2. Grahambythesea
    You’re dead lucky with that at that price, you probably spent as much again on strings and knobs! 😋
  3. Grahambythesea
    How heavy is this?
  4. Grahambythesea
    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.

    How ice to see a Limelight that hasn’t got all the paint ripped off!
  6. Grahambythesea
    That Eastwood looks more like an Eko or a Teisco than a Höfner. Personally I wouldn’t give it house room.

    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.

    £650 for a Mex? Send it back it should be perfect for that. I got my US Gibson for less and it was perfect.

    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!

    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.

    Aren’t the slot head EB3’s long scale?
  12. Grahambythesea
    Seem to be back up to £399
  13. Grahambythesea
    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.
  14. Grahambythesea
    Much nicer looking than most Les Pauls.
  15. Grahambythesea
    Won’t the scale length be all wrong?
  16. Grahambythesea
    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.

    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.

    Not so much fakers - perfect clones. Fab-u-Lous.
  19. Grahambythesea
    You probably won’t like this, it’s a 2013 Gibson EB.
  20. Grahambythesea
    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.
  21. Grahambythesea
    Don’t know why Fender dropped these, good shape, what’s the weight like? I haven’t heard of mint red before 😆😁😃😂
  22. Grahambythesea
    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.
  23. Grahambythesea
    Looks like you may become the test case!
  24. Grahambythesea
    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.
  25. Grahambythesea
    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!
