    Can I play, even if one is a bit of a stretch? [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/7e7dbbed-2df4-4bdc-80be-7dbc11a05a73_zps3bbc14ca.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/7e7dbbed-2df4-4bdc-80be-7dbc11a05a73_zps3bbc14ca.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0607_zpsba986cba.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0607_zpsba986cba.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Thanks chaps, very kind. Thunderbird, you must get in touch with your inner "Summer of Love" Sorry, the one photographed above is not mine. All pm's are about to be replied to in chronological order, as been in studio all day, apologies. Mine will only come in a battered gig bag I'm afraid, unlike the one above. The more eagle eyed amongst you may see what the shop had it out at a couple of months ago. Right, crap photographer alert, brace tha sens! EDIT. TOM, did I mention 8lb 3 oz [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0589_zpsd75aa95f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0590_zps9350644c.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0591_zps7ac9ef42.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0592_zpsf77cb7da.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0593_zpsf35961c2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0594_zps56495bc2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0596_zps23279a4a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0597_zps4b132203.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0598_zps28c0c36a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0599_zpsa3462aaf.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0600_zps1ab44112.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0601_zps1fc9aa45.jpg.html"][/url]

    Sorry this has happened Sean, to me if a customer has a problem, it always needs sorting so they are happy. It may be a "loss leader" at the time, but sometimes it can come back and reward businesses very well in the long term. I have heard so many times of our American friends being tremendous with customer service, and indeed, that has been my experience with anything I have bought from the States. Sadly, in further cliche mode, exception proves the rule. Thank you for giving us food for thought. [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1407708486' post='2523305'] I agree in every respect, including liking surf green which is an indication of [i]very[/i] good taste afaic.

    I got the same mail but it had my full name (not the easiest on the planet ). I went into it a different way, by googling PAINPal then accessing my account. Don't use it anyway so I really don't know why I looked, but it confirmed nothing on it. If "they" have scammed me, they will get sod all.

    Not working for me, had same prob last week. Wonder if it's Firefox causing it?

    Perfection. Shame I've just spent a lot on an SEI. GLWTS

    Think Sean may have been making a passing reference to the following, which I prized out of his bleeding fingers [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0575_zps91b798d2.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0575_zps91b798d2.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    [quote name='Mattmit' timestamp='1407711963' post='2523341'] All he told me was 'scotland' so I don't know what that means about the quality. The quality of mine is ace. [/quote] Same here on both counts.

    [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1407705661' post='2523263'] Limelight is the new black [/quote] And the Black and the Limelight will look rather nice in my rack at gigs

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1407699300' post='2523172'] Nah, don't like that. How about this one?? [/quote] Jeez, I was nervous there for a second Wow, that sun bit (techno speak) looks good fella. We don't get that in Wigan. It would ruin our mud roofs.
  14. karlfer
    My Limelight turned up on Friday and it is simply amazing. Have a bump sir!

    Just a reminder for me [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0584_zpsfadbd2bd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0584_zpsfadbd2bd.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    John Myung Yam's are currently going around £350/3400 mark. VERY good basses, one of the best 6'ers I had back in the day.
  17. karlfer
    Too many choices indeed. I remember the days when the only choices you had were the local shops and local free paper. Very little GAS then Damn you t'interweb
  18. karlfer

    Choices

    [quote name='addam360' timestamp='1407587472' post='2522056'] Very nice. Personally I prefer the white pickguard but everything else there looks great. I especially love the reverse headstock. [/quote] Must admit, I keep hum-ing and hah-ing about which plate. What a problem to have

    [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1407616799' post='2522417'] Cheers Karl, right back at you mate. The relicing on this one is very sympathetic to an original, so if it has to be reliced, taste wise this is what I'd go for too. I agree with you that a lot of 'high end' basses can often be hit and miss despite the price tag, even 1960's era Fender threw out a fair few dogs. I like the fact that Limelight deliver at a decent price, I'd love a similar to yours P Bass version to replace the early 60's Precision's I've loved and lost, definitely would be fun to ask Mark to deliver a personal spec bass if I ever get the spare funds for another bass I can't justify, certainly don't need but will surely love... [/quote] Thanks Daniel. I was a bit disingenuous about that Fender Custom Shop jazz to be honest. On the same day, in the same shop, I had a long try of the Fender Custom Shop Dusty Hill and it was very probably one of the best basses I have ever played. After a couple of weeks of soul searching (get a grip lad, it's a plank with strings ) , I just could not justify the (REDUCED ) price of £2400 for a beat up, simple, but exquisite bass. Just really ecstatic with this Limelight. Now, lightly reliced, Fiesta Red, Brown tortie plate, (quiet discreet ) Precision body, p/j pups, rosewood board, 70's nut width. I wonder
  21. karlfer
    It is a contravention of the laws of the universe that a bass of this quality, at this daftly low price, from a highly regarded [s]magpie gear whore [/s]member of Basschat, has not found a new home. As Mr. Meldrew might say, unbelievable Bermp.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1407614486' post='2522386'] You'd like it even more after a hefty bong of Uncle Mark's Party Finisher. [/quote] Is that the one from Anne Summers?
  23. karlfer
    Careful With That Axe imiJ Actually, quite liked that, 1st one in particular. Bet I'd like it even more after 12 pints of Scruttock's Old Dirigibles Damn shame the bassist is so lacking in taste to spoil a lovely white jazz with a tortie plate
  24. karlfer
    Even Her Who Makes Toast By Breathing On Bread is rolling about laughing at that one Mark

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1407604254' post='2522280'] I'm glad it worked out well for you, old man. My Limelight Jazz causes a fuss wherever it goes, not just for it's appearance (which is striking) but because of how it sounds. And I can tell you (actually, I think I have!) that it plays very, very nicely indeed. However... my views on the use of tort guards with anything other than sunburst or white are well known... but I don't want to be a party-pooper... so welcome to the Limelight Club! Apart from the p*ckg**rd issue (my issue) it looks like another winner from Mark. He seems to be at the height of his powers. Nice one. [/quote] Here we go again [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/index_zps4556c279.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/index_zps4556c279.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1407609897' post='2522349'] Wonderful, really liking this one! [/quote] Thank you Mr Wailer, it is well know you have impeccable taste [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1407610263' post='2522355'] He is indeed. It's a shame nobody will ever own mine other than me. I'd love to be able to share its excellence with others but I won't be letting it go. They can try it (briefly) but won't be selling it. I was worried at first as I had part-exchanged a bass I really loved but in hindsight, it didn't even come close. Top quality instrument from a top quality company :-) [/quote] I can never say I will never sell it because I am a magpie gear whore. I can say I very much doubt it will leave me because it is bloody amazing.
