When I first looked at this I thought it said Gaviscon! 😳 This May help. My favourite way of finding anything. I typed ‘Galveston leadsheet’ into Google. Loads of images come up. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Galveston+lead+sheet&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=isnv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjFxduo0JrZAhVTa8AKHVD7BUgQ_AUIESgB&biw=768&bih=922&dpr=2 I wonder if the manufacturers of Gaviscon have ever thought of using it for an add?

Hello and welcome. Id say if your happy with the feel Of the bass, just pop in a new set of pickups. Sounds easy! This is where the fun starts. I’ve used Delano, Aguilar, Bartolini, Fender custom, and Lindy Fralin. I like them all. It takes a bit of research. The other option is to fit a new preamp. The John East preamps are excellent. Enjoy the search!

I Am The Leader of Revisionists (I Am)

I personally think it’s really simple. Regardless of an individuals ability as a muso or professional standing. People like GG of which there are many. Indeed we’re almost seeing daily revelations of high profile individuals being exposed as inadequate . Along with them there are people in powerful positions in many walks of life who abuse their power. In the case of GG he used his power to meet his own deprived needs, disregarding the Life long impact on his victims. He’s ruined the lives of many people. I personally don’t get why people appear to accept or minimise the behaviour of famous people as less serious than any other inadequate individual who seeks out and exploits vulnerable people. -
No down side as long as your all happy. I wish I could find someone decent to take the ball ache out off getting gigs. It sounds Win Win. Well as long as the venues are decent

That’s wonderful! -
I was listening to 6 music earlier. This came on and it struck me that some bass lines are meant for synth bass. I don’t think even with a synth pedal you could accurately produce the feel of this

I had an awful experience recently. I sold a bass on the bay as a collection in person. The buyer interpreted this as sending a courier. I explained it was a collection in person as i didn't have the time to arrange to package and sit in waiting for a courier. Collection in person means i simply hand you the bass. Regardless i agreed as i am a good-natured soul. What a mistake. The list of demands was like a rider from Spinal Tap. The cheeky sod clearly had issues and i was given instruction how to wrap the headstock using bubble wrap, slacken the strings by .68 turns etc. It was a joke. The worst bit was the lack of thanks. Dont get me wrong it was a sh*t bass, I was glad to see it go. So i suppose my point is "Collection in person" can be open to interpretation by complete idiots.

I sold a Limelight to Pete. A pleasure to deal with. Hassle free transaction. Met up quick chat. Top man

Thank you for explaining my "left-hand wobble" in the correct terms. . That's why you're the teacher. Sustain is essential for feel and emotional attachment to particular styles of music.
-
Great question. I think it’s just another tool for us to use depending on the music your producing. I find it really useful in a lot of the Fretless stuff I play. It lends itself to using sustain as the very nature of Fretless is the ambiguity of the note. The “left hand wobble” it has its place

You completely right Steve and @Prowla. It really makes me look stupid and I'm sure to many of you its hard to believe. I've heard of Limelight for sure, however, i have genuinely never looked into what they do. I really thought that they were like AMG for Mercs etc. The original advert that I bought it from was not misleading in any way. It stated "Limelight Fender etc" I am an impulsive buyer and not the most technically minded When I saw it I just bought it. It really was that simple. I hope I haven't damaged my reputation too much, anyone who wants to check my feedback will see how long I've been trading and been a member. If anything I think this is an example of how supportive the community is in pointing out to stupid " Schoolboys" like me the error of their ways. If there are any Mods/Admin following if you feel I should remove the ad, I'm more than happy too. Or just bin it yourselves. The bigger argument is clearly one for the forum mods and admin to discuss. However, with the level of scrutiny provided by members as in this case, I doubt this is a site many fakers would attempt to infiltrate.

This is great. I feel like I’m embroiled in some type of conspiracy. My life has just got interesting. I’m selling the bass in question on the forum. The original sale line I put up was “ Fender Jazz with limelight love” Another chatter pointed out that this may be throwing others of the sent. ill be perfectly honest, when I bought this bass I thought it was a fender jazz reissue that had been pimped by Limelight. I honestly thought that’s what they did. Like some people do with cars. Once I had read upon the company I realised I’d made a genuine mistake. So changed it immediately. Im not sure of the legality of logos etc. i completely agree about not promoting the sale of fake instruments in any way. I don’t think it’s the quality of the bass as the Limelight is stunnng to play and I own genuine vintage fender jazzes. It’s the intent to decive that would damage the site. Maybe it’s an issue for the powers at be need to consider ( wait until I’ve sold my Limelight first please) I do believe in the integrity of BC Members. I’ve been buying and selling on here for years and have never had anything but good experiences. I’ve often relied on the comments and knowledge of other members to inform my decision and increase my own knowledge I’ve always felt I can post questions Maybe we need a section to “Ask the experts”
