There's a bit of demand for this, so I thought I might as well kick it off. C'mon you Limelighters... get involved! [i]([b]Note:[/b] If the 'F' logos upset you, I respectfully ask that you start your own thread, or write a strongly-worded letter to the Daily Mail.)[/i] Here's my '63 relic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6np-PCYITrw Full story here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/239185-nbd-limelight-63-jazz-medium-relic"]http://basschat.co.u...zz-medium-relic[/url]

My J feels around 8.6Ibs.

What's going on with them vocals? What a terrible noise.

I am [i]amazed[/i] that there are people who aren't resident in the highlands of Papua New Guinea that still haven't seen this quy,

OMG! Drummer are at teh RONG GIG! LOL

I had one, and had no problems with it. It was nice.

I've never understood why America took to Herman's Hermits like they did. A terrible band, but all credit to them for being more successful musicians than I'll ever be.

[quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1407676212' post='2522845'] I'm sorry but I have to disagree. I think the images of the example tort that the OP ordered look really cool- vintage and a nice match for a P. The Tort he ended up getting (or not, in the end) look like one of those black and flame shirts you can buy down the market for £5. [/quote] I dunno... in these pictures it looks like a tort with a lot of yellow in it. Why he can't just take it outside and just get a naturally-coloured shot of it is a mystery.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1407661154' post='2522613'] That's how I got turned on to Constance Redgrave. Someone mentioned her on BC some time ago and I looked her up. [/quote] That was probably me. She's brilliant.

Don't do the matching headstock. They look wrong on P's. IMO.

I know it's not what you ordered so it's a moot point, but in the lower-contrast shots on the OSG thread it looks like a pretty cool guard. Someone will be happy with it.

Ah, I thought I'd posted this already, but apparently not. There's been a change of plan for the September show, and he's bringing his UK-based band up instead. I'm gutted, but given the lack of a rehearsal and soundcheck I totally understand. Hopefully I'll have another opportunity further down the line.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1407597532' post='2522191'] What about Annie Clements who plays with Sugarland, among others ? One of the few pro female bass players in Nashville that I am aware of. [/quote] Annie is a great player. So is Constance Redgrave of Spikedrivers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGk3gIyhqd8

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1407533096' post='2521640'] So, what are they made from? What bodies and necks are they and who does all the fretwork? Are they built from cheaper basses or what? I really fancy one as I don't have a J type and would like to know a bit more. [/quote] I'm intrigued as to what's under the hood of mine. It feels incredible, though.

That's bloody lush.

Cheers, all! Phil's got an incredible voice. He just never runs out of steam. The front line are brothers, and their harmonies are peerless. They spent a lot of years in 'that London' doing uncredited BVs for big-league artists, and radio idents, etc. It's a fun band.

They are, and the exchange rate is very favourable. Shipping is surprisingly reasonable, too. Incredible for well-designed hand-made cabs.* * Edit: I mean 'not production line'.

TKS S112's. Incredible things.

Mrs. WoT uses a Pure Acoustic bridge pickup (http://www.pureacoustic.com/) into an LR Baggs venue DI. Can't fault it.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1406725112' post='2514094'] Hope it doesn't create a crapstorm over there, I think they are bit fussier about, er... 'branding issues' than we are - if you can believe it after all the Limelight shenanigans we had on here a while back... [/quote] I wouldn't be so sure. I posted a thread about mine - I got lots of compliments and nothing about the sticker on the headstock.

As far as I'm aware, most of the current crop of class-D's use the same ICEPower module. Marketing nonsense does the rest. EBS seem to be acting more sensibly with the Reidmar, rating it at an honest 250w. I'm happy to be educated otherwise, though.

Pal of mine playing fiddle in my band a few years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL81A7f2MWo ...and what he's up to these days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzMLmS9cNxg It couldn't have happened to a nicer lad.
