If only this was up last week when my Squier VI was still for sale!

The things you stumble upon on Youtube... Absolutely astonishing vocal from the chap on the right. It gets good from 3:30.

Not metal, but the chap from Blossom Toes had quite an extreme vocal style when pushed. Check out 2:20 - some serious guttural vocals. Better still, listen to the whole thing, it's great!

I'd love to do something like that. Let us know how you get on!

Fabulous looks fantastic does he do slab '66 P basses or Telebasses do you know?
[/quote]

Never seen a Limelight Telebass but he has previously made a slab P.
I've bought oand sold to Mark on many occasions and will echo what has already been said - he's a top bloke. In fact a while ago he offered me a Limelight bass as a trade, just when they first started making them. Due to fear of the unknown I declined... Twinges of regret now! I love that Pino-a-like on his website.

Ruddy tempting, I don't mind telling you.

What about a Boss LS-2? Then you can run the clean signal and blend in the Tone Hammer alongside it.

Some half-decent pics would probably help...

Look at that neck!

Not sure what the difference is by short scale tbh. is it like a 3/4 size guitar? Sorry...newbie dumb question.
[/quote]

The scale length is the distance from the bridge to the nut. On most basses it's 34", generally known as long scale, this Epiphone is 30.5" which is known as short scale.

Up...

is that good or bad?
[/quote]

Depends on the bass! ;-)

Sounds good, do you know how old it is please?
[/quote]

I reckon around 15 years old.

I've just sold the good Emperor some La Bella flats - instant payment, no problems whatsoever. I would happily deal with John again.

Sold.

They were woolly then became more woolly then I gave up caring.

Assuming this is active, are the controls vol, pan, bass and treble? Ta!
[/quote]

If I remember correctly, it's vol, vol, tone, bass boost - but I'm sure Shonks will be along to confirm/correct!

I used to have a picture of this bass on my bedroom wall...
Whereabouts in Essex are you?

a few years a go I tried a variety of P basses in one sitting. The Hoppus was, to my ears, the best. Mind you this was before they flipped the pickup round.
Sadly it's my utter revulsion of anything Blink 182-related that stops me from ever seriously considering one, but that's just me being petty and small-minded.

As new, never used or taken out of the packet. Purchased for my Squier Bass VI but I decided to sell the bass before I got round to fitting the strings.


Gauges:
026 .035 .044 .055 .075 .095

Heavier and far better suited to the instrument than the flimsy stock strings!

These are around £60 new (if in stock!) - I'll do them for £45 inc. shipping within mainland UK. Could possibly consider trades for effects pedals.

To't top.

On hold.

This.

It's a Precision, all day long.

It has a precision shape body, like the originals, and like all other precision shapes (albeit uncontoured)
It has precision pickups and electronics
It has a precision neck (maple cap was an option at this time, and can be seen on many regular sunburst contour precisions of the era)
It has Precision on the headstock, applied by Fender.

Regardless of what some bloke wanted when he went into a shop, all story, what was built, was a Precision.

You can call it what you like, but thats what it is.

I bet he was pissed off when he saw what they had sent him...
