    I have for sale this rather fine example of a Limelight ‘P’. Description copied from Marks WWW. Apologies for the size of text. Cash would be good. Simple reason for selling, too many Basses not enough projects, this was for a Blues Project that faltered and passed away. https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight-00192-p-bass/ I can do some ‘real time’ snaps, hanging around looking cool. Limelight Custom Guitars 00192 1970’s P Bass Light relic Olympic White over Black with rosewood fretboard This is a Limelight early 70’s P Bass with all the correct features from that era. This bass is finished in aged Olympic White (It’s actually quite creamy colour when you see it for real but shows up much whiter in the photos) The bass is light reliced but looks “right” and the metal work is just tarnished which is how we’ve been doing them recently, and I think it looks better and more authentic. Product Description Limelight Custom Guitars – 00192 early 70’s P Bass light relic Specifications: Aged Olympic White over Black Gotah Vintage tuners Aged Nitro-cellulose finished neck with Tusq nut, clay dots and hand rolled fingerboard edges Quality vintage bridge CTS pots and Sprague cap Vintage wired Vintage type Pick ups Switchcraft jack 45-105 Roundwound strings

    A “Just gave it a Shiny o” bump. Sensible offers and a partial trade might ease the pain. Save a shedload of money against buying new and waiting on the 5/6 month build time...... Thanks for looking

    Totally agree. I have had the 800 for maybe 6 months, I’m still sussing out the variety of available toneage ( new word )suffice to say it exceeds my expectations, especially after returning an AG 700 for the Magellan. I run it with 3 x PJB C4’s...

    I have the Magellan, I initially bought an AG700. For me the AG was pish, I swapped if for the Genzler with gig bag, later adding a PROEL switch. I must say, this (for me IMO) is the best Head I’ve had in years for flexibility and ease of control. Furthermore according to Mr Genzler it’ll do 2Ohms providing you don’t push the input gain into the red too much. The asking price is a STEAL for such a shiny bright nearly new object of electrickery. GLWTS Karl PS: That’s the issue with tyre kickers Karl, they usually have no intention of buying....

    Done. Shall I bring this?

    How do I get on the ‘List’

    An excellent review I’ve just stumbled upon, I concur ( not so elequently) with all the comments. I have found my Genzler to fill in all the holes that other heads have. On personal service, I mailed Mr G ( well the website) regarding not being able to log my purchase for warranty purposes. Mr G had it sorted, I asked another question: would it run at 2 Ohms, His reply was yes but don’t overdrive the Gain ..... I use 3 x PJB C4’s at the 2.67 setting. It really is a sublime head.

    I’ve followed this saga with interest, so much so I have e mailed ‘Handbox’ from their website twice still waiting for a reply. How can I buy one of these electrickery Valve jobbies?

    Oh, I did have my Fender Jazz (a ‘67) salmon pink matching headstock, nicked from the Cavern...twice. Never got it back the second time had to pay £40.00 for a Precision!...

    Addendum: During the late 60’s a band I was in ( Earl Preston’s Realms ) played the Cavern in Mathew Street Liverpool. The Cavern agency (Ray McFall and Bob Wooler ran this) booked us in. The schedule would run something like this: Tuesday lunch session, Tuesday Night session, Gear already in situ was ‘loaned’ same on Thursday, lunch and evening with no quibbles either way on utilisation of gear. It was common to work the week and then ‘double’ on a Friday and Saturday, Cavern first then a gig the other side of town or in the sticks. P.A’s were loaned/borrowed as was amps and drums ( sans cymbals and snare ). Ther was also the small matter of the ‘All Nighter’ at the Cavern on a Saturday night followed by an afternoon session at the ‘Sink’ ( Rumbling Tum Hardman Street) and maybe a Sunday night Doubler. The maximum gig exposure was therefore : 2 on Tuesday, 2 on Thursday, doubler Friday night, doubler Saturday night, all-nighter Saturday, Sunday afternoon and a doubler Sunday night. 12 Gigs in all, not every week but mostly once a month. Gear was left for others to use knowing that if it broke ( it never seemed to break ) it was fixed! I was 19 at the time and whilst protective of my gear did not have an issue, nobody did. However, many years later in my late 20’s at a charity gig a certain John McNally ( ex Searchers ) used my rig for rhythm, blew it, never said thanks or offered an apology or to pay for the repair, never again I said and I did’nt And won’t. Times have changed, unfortunately people don’t, “ lend it, break it fix it “. I now pay more for a set of strings than I paid for my first Framus Star Bass (Single cut). 😱 Reminiscing of an old man part 1
