  1. What do Limelight Precision’s tend to come in at new nowadays?

  2. Where’s the best place online to purchase replacement dials/knobs? I’m sure I saw a thread for Sire basses which mentioned an online store that had a great selection but now I can’t find it again!

      What sort of thing are you after as I have a few spare Sadowsky style knobs in a drawer?

  4. Given the current confinement i've just upgraded to some slightly more proper speakerage on my desk. It's nice to not have any latency when trying to play through VST's.

  5. Major attempted downsize with 4 basses now up for sale (SG, Mustang, Jazz, Bordwell). 

  6. For those of you with a persuasion for ACGs - it may be worth your time in becoming a member of the ACG Owners group on Facebook. There's going to a be some very nice basses for sale in the near future.

  8. There's a gig tonight in a park next to my office. They're sound checking at the moment. 20 mins for a drum check, 10 mins for guitar, 10 mins for keys. about 45 seconds for bass... Now on to vocals. Turns out it's Sister Sledge... Time to put my iPod on...

  9. Watch the Chernobyl TV mini-series. If you are 40 or over, you will probably recall seeing the news when you were young. You will want to see this series. It is very, very good. Moving and true to the events that shook the day and following years.

  11. Any recommendations for someone who could make a one-off custom pickguard for an Epiphone Jack Casady to my design at a reasonable price? 

  12. Played some VERY nice Sandbergs today. 

     

    If my G&L doesn't up its game in the near future it could be facing the chop!

      Very nice @CameronJ the Electra range are overlooked and underated and that's a real pity.  I used to have one the J Electra basses.

      I'm a big fan of Sandbergs.  I think the necks are great and their take of the J and P basses just hits the spot for me.

  16. They say if you get a tattoo you should consider what it's going to look like when you're old... but if I got one, I'd know instantly... :)

  17. Love the Bruce Thomas Profile bass! Really lively P, feels very comfortable in hand, and a fantastic bargain - you even get a signed book from the man himself :)

      I'm also interested to hear what you think.  Did you get the one at Bass Direct or from the Bass Centre?

  18. Are we really going to change the rules of Cricket just because kids don't find it 'exciting' and have the attention span of a goldfish?? Anyone who doesn't understand the rules doesn't deserve to enjoy the game, IMHO. Bah! Tsk! Pshaw! And so on.

      I'm with discreet on this.  Not everything has to involve instant gratification.

      Although it might be worth considering a duel to the death between captains using medieval weaponry of their choice to settle a 5-day test draw.  Obviously not on on the wicket though.

  20. Never let anyone dictate which bass or amp you should be using - they have NO idea.

  21. Visitors to BC over the years may well have seem me bang on about what I suppose is still a favourite 'tonally coloured' speaker cabinet, the Hartke 4.5XL. I've had about 6 of those 45Kg beasts over the years. Too heavy for my poor back now. Imagine my excitement when I find I can have 600 different IR's of this famous cabinet to play with on Helix and my DAW???!!!!! Could I have 'Dan's 90's Tone' back again??? Watch this space! (My back says thank you)

  22. I've just emailed Limelight... Will they do basses in nonperiod colours? I was hoping for a 63 spec in either shoreline gold or LPB...

      Shorline Gold is certainly on the early 60s Fender colour card.
