    Still at work so please bear with...the pic was from Mark at Classic & Cool so I promise it's not a tease. I'm doing the electronics myself hence the mini delay.

    Will do some pics later but the bass landed today and very excited to play it with the band. It's neither a P or a J (nor a PJ) and it is the first Limelight with a one-piece Alder body. Quick teaser pic...

    Now hiding behind the sofa... On the lightweight question, My ACG Alder bodied basses have been very light without exception. I think Mr C uses special helium infused Alder though.

    Meant to add that I'm also listening to our very own Kev's band's (Awaken Eternity) debut album Leviathan. Very good it is too.

    Oooh, interesting. What has he done with it? This was the first record I ever bought at the tender age of 11 after saving up my sixpences pocket money and has long been a favourite of mine.

    I feel that we share a lot of common likes here (honorable exception of prog of which I am unashamedly a fan). Apols to the OP for the thread derailing.

    Phew, I feel you may need a hug or some chocolate. Seriously though, what is your preference?

    @SteveXFR is there anything at all that you don't find offensive?

    p.s. You are welcome to come and have a play on mine as these basses are not an insignificant investment!

    TBH I can't say that I have noticed a great difference, but I haven't had the fortune to own more than one Ric at any one time so it's more from memory. I listened to a few demos online of a Laredo vs a Cheyenne before taking the plunge (through good headphones) and the differences were pretty minimal to my ears. In the context of ripping it up in a live band I very much doubt you'd hear much at all.

    My "friend" has similar views.

    Yeah pretty good; I've never had a problem. For further reassurance I recently bought a bass from a different European retailer with the same deal and the bass arrived here with no further charges.

    Personal preference for me is the East J Deluxe, has a passive option and the tone works in both active and passive modes. I've had an Audere or two and, whilst it was a little while back, I don't recall them having those features. Happy to stand corrected on this of course

    Paging @prowla, can you help?

    I never got on with my 4003, however having acquired a 4004 Cheyenne (as I prefer the unfinished 'board) I find it so much nicer. There is a 4004 Laredo on Reverb at the moment for a reasonable price and they have the lacquered fingerboard.

    I feel very unimaginative now. All my basses are called Bob

    BassBros is also setting up a shop (Coventry I think). Either way no great distance from Bass DIrect.
  18. ead
    Much prefer a satin finish myself
  19. ead
    I agree, not a fan of EMG knobs but plenty of nicer options are available

    Lovely, don't think I've seen a fretless JB2 before.

    Looking at a spec sheet I guess this is what you need: Pickups & Hardware: Tone Circuit: Spector TonePump™ Circuit Type: 9-Volt Active - Bass and Treble (TonePump™ SPECS) Bridge Pickup: EMG 35CS-TW™ Neck Pickups: EMG 35CS-TW™ Pickup Type: Active - Single/dual coil switchable pickups Hardware Colour: Black I'm guessing that this will be the TonePump with the trim pot (very useful).

    I used to own this one. Lovely bass with plenty of tonal options with all the coil switching options.

    Just acquired a lovely bass from Andy. Nice to catch up a bit after what must have been a number of years now. As always a cracking item, excellent comms and a real pleasure to deal with. Thanks again.

    Not just me then, that's a relief. Maybe the question should be re-phrased to something like.... ...."Apart from @chris_b, has anyone not bought a bass on a whim.....etc. etc."
  25. ead
    Both my ACGs now at BassBros.
