[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1460757596' post='3028627'] I've got the fretted version of this (x2 P pups) and you need to be aware that the pup placement on this bass will have a massive effect on the tone... a warning if you like. [/quote] ... I can only imagine

... I did vehicle refinishing at college as part of my studies there and nitro cellulose was one of the easiest finishes to achieve a good result with. The spray finish doesn't have to be particularly good as it's easy to finish well. For a bass body sized area you can finish easily by hand absolutely no problems!

I'm a massive admirer of Tamas Barabas' playing with Djabe, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MHnDUru6MU He's got a great feel both for upbeat funk stuff along with lyrical fretless stuff. His playing is something I'd like to be aiming for myself tbh.

The Zoom looks pretty good, especially for the price. I used to have an EBS Microbass II that had headphones and Aux in (IIRC), however they are more expensive. It could also run on batteries so you could practise on the move lol!

Hey all, If you haven't heard of the great bassist and composer Tamas Barabas and the group he's in called Djabe (in an African language meaning Freedom) they have a new album out on Spotify called 20 Dimensions. Their back catalogue spans something like 15 or so albums, first out in '96 I believe. Their early stuff is more of a World vibe in a quartet form with percussion, and from late 90's more of a Jazz/World vibe with the addition of drum kit. Windows Media Player allocated them Ethno Jazz genre label, quite apt lol! I really dig all of there stuff for different reasons, including from a compositional and a bassist view point.

Most of there stuff is on Spotify and if you want to get some of their albums you can do so direct from them, as they can be quite hard to find sometimes! Pps. This isn't an advertisement for them, I just really like the groups output and wanted to share it with fellow bass players.

Hey all, Mark came down to collect the Limelight Jazz this aft. No worries, great comms all the way and would happily deal with again. Thanks again for the sale, Cheers.

The maple board one, no 00125 used to belong to me at one point. It played very nicely when I had it with a really nice low action. Moved it on as I prefer 5s more (after a long battle deciding )

Heard a band play at Marsden Jazz Festival and when I had my -18dB earplugs in the noise was comfortable and actually much clearer. I really don't know why some venues have the level so high, they must know about their duty of care and potential hearing damage?
