Have we done what happens if you play the backing track back at the wrong sample rate yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjx_GjyXCs4

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424962409' post='2702383'] Well if you don't want an early 60s blonde/tort/rosewood, how about a 70s aged olympic white/black pg/one-piece maple neck..? [/quote] The latter is something I'd love to do. I just need to see a few more clear shots of the maple boards. A lot of them I've seen have heavy relic'ing which isn't to my taste...

OK... to help me decide... Would those of you with maple-board Limelight P's mind posting pics that clearly show the board, preferably in daylight? One of my dilemmas is the old maple / rosewood thing. I think I prefer the look of Limelight's rosewood, but I'm not sure...

...and as if by magic :-) Holy crap - that's a beaut. Is it firemist? Someone put me out of my misery and tell me what colour combo to get so I can put the order in. PLEASE.

Meh, not really my thing... ...so I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it. 10/10 for the production / mix, too. Lovely.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1424946692' post='2702147'] I tried to watch it but gave up after 10 minutes. The whole thing was so blatantly fake that it made my toes curl. It's hard to be undercover when you're not only trailed by a very obvious camera crew but also the people you interact with have to repeat (scripted?) comments for the sake of the cutaways. Unreality TV at its most insincere. [/quote] Yeah. Sorry for going OT, but I only managed a minute or so before I had to skip to the end. Shows like this are the equivalent of being force-fed sugary water. Bleargh. Just give me the facts and I'll make up my own mind how to interpret 'em without prompting from the background music.

New camera = new pics :-)

Maybe you heard that high-pitched whine they produce, whilst inaudible to most humans, makes eagles ill..?

Anybody...?

Tone **is** all in the fingers. And the strings. And the pickups. And the bass. And the amp. And the EQ. And the mix.

Calling those of you with 60s Limelight P's..... How are the neck profiles? Are they shallow front-to-back, or do they have a bit of 'chunk' about them?

We've got two small kids too, but I don't have any problems, 'cos Mrs. WoT is a musician too. And besides, she can't wait to get me out of the house of an evening.

Yup. Apple is great for people who just want to do stuff. Android etc. is great for people who want to do stuff with the thing they use to do stuff. :-)

U2.

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1424391550' post='2695970'] Up until the iPhone 6 at least, it was the Steve Jobs legacy that meant small screen sizes. Even once they fixed the screen size, that still leaves the issue of not being able to install a decent web browser, as the only alternative to Apple's Safari have to use a crippled version of the same rendering engine to be able to get into the App Store. That means no advert blocker. [/quote] I really don't want to get drawn into the whole Apple vs everyone else thing, but... The browser I'm using right now has a myriad of features, one of which is an ad blocker which works just fine.

[quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1424353288' post='2695453'] This is how it'd have to look like, IMO: [/quote] Yup. That or this: ...albeit with a TV logo.

[quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1424351595' post='2695421'] Are you aiming for a 70's or 60's vibe? If it's 60's, there's no choice but rosewood. If it's 70's, I'd personally tend to a one piece maple neck. Then again, in combination with a metallic body finish I like rosewood better. Tough decision indeed.... [/quote] Very firmly early 70s, which gives me a number of options. Damn you, choice! *shakes fist at the sky*

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424339961' post='2695223'] If you go with LPB will you specify parchment or mint pickguard and rosewood board? [/quote] Parchment. As for rosewood / maple that decision is still to be made. Rosewood is favourite...

I'm still wrestling with colour choices for the P I have in mind. I've narrowed it down to LPB and Charcoal Frost. I need to man-up and decide.

[quote name='Subthumper' timestamp='1424283807' post='2694756'] Yes, that was on the tubepath heads. Ampeg did a similar thing with the SVT3 except it was a valve driving the mosfet power stage and the valve had an adjustable plate voltage to introduce some form of compression/grit/drive type thing. [/quote] Yup - the Tubepath is like the MESA Walkabout. It's a different approach to virtually all other hybrids. Nothing will get the valve thing going on like a valve power stage, but the WA gets close for something so compact and light.

IMO: New basses 'shine'. Tastefully relic'd basses 'glow'. I happen to prefer the latter.

Seriously, this has been done a million times before. Some people like them, some don't, and the world keeps turning....

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1424082042' post='2692255'] Did Apple have editorial control? Was Neil Aspinall an executive producer? [/quote] Yes, but the director was a pretty formidable character, and absolutely passionate about the whole project, so he managed to push a little bit harder than most.
