Lush. Stunning colour!

This ^^^^^^^^ I’d personally rate Bravewood>> Nash>> Limelight. I’ve had examples of each…………and I’m not even a relic lover!

Just keeps getting better!

Loving it! What’s not to like?! Good score.

I had the same thing happen to me with a bridge and vol/tone control grub screws. I think Mark has changed his process for producing relic’d hardware. So no longer an issue if you buy “new” from him. Pot-luck if a “second hand” Limelight though. Overall, I find Limelight instruments a good balance between price/quality.

I have adjusted the dual truss rods on Rickenbackers a few times. Unless the neck is twisted, I have tried always to do the same to each rod and gently turn each in sequence. With Ricks I normally try for a flat board with minimum relief, per factory recommendation. Not always possible though. Sounds like you may have to look at the frets, as you indicate.

I think Macca uses felt picks rather than plastic, but he seems pretty good at it😁

Sounds brill!

I liked my first M245 Custom so much, I’ve some how accumulated a few more Atelier Z’s. Gratuitous pic time:

Fabulous………and a great back story! Enjoy!

For me, it is like the “rubbing your tummy and patting your head trick”. It is tricky and I have a similar approach to @Lozz196. I simplify the bass line and concentrate on the vocals. I just about get away with backings and really admire those who can front lead vocal and play.

Go for it! Top draw quality instruments.

The Dimension is a recent example. Nice bass, but Fender fan-boys just didn’t see beyond the P or J looking glass!

A tech may indeed have done that and not tested thoroughly, or just thought, sod it! Sounds plausible.

…….and I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate!

Absolutely! The book will appear cheap 😁

Tony Franklin fretless?

Great review, Dan.

I made a proposal - eventually rejected - for a previous cover band I was in. The name proposed was "CYA". I thought it was clever, but the my band mates either didn't get it or thought it too weird. Hey-ho.

Three bands: Band 1: The Muffin Topz Band 2: Runway2 Band 3: Band with no Name

While I don’t have the precise number to hand, I’ve always found Hiscox (chainsaw-shaped) hardcases to be sturdy and light in weight. A P bass should fit with no problems.

I’m in the same boat, so can really empathise with all those others in a similar situation. I do a series of physio-taught core muscle exercises on a regular basis. It keeps my condition in check, but - from time to time - I do something stupid without thinking and, ping, I’m back in the land of pain and pills. My wife took a small video of me during one episode to serve as a reminder never to go there again. It actually helps me to watch it when all is OK!
