mickster Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408363534' post='2529356'] They photograph well. I did see a couple of threads on TB and elsewhere dissing Nash quality of components and build, but not having seen one in the flesh I can't comment. Enough of them are owned by celeb players, but of course that doesn't mean much. [/quote] There was a thread a while back on OSG where a bloke did a teardown of a Nash and wasn't overly impressed with what he found: http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=47291&sid=133e9d67def1ad38189e6c06d853a11d Never played one in the flesh, so not sure whether this is a general issue or a one off, mind...

karlfer Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Mine weighs 8lb 13 oz. But it's lightly reliced so more paint on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know the necks were Allparts.....can you get Allpart necks with clay dots or are they retrofitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is currently showing (admittedly heavy relic) a Burgundy Mist jazz and Fiesta red Precision in stock. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408566415' post='2531471'] Devon, I believe. [/quote] Correct, Mark is indeed a fellow Devonian. My Limelight P bass is 8.5lbs also. Karlfer, your green/tort jazz is simply stunning...I love it. Nice weight too as my 74 jazz (mostly retired for the occasional reggae gig) is nearly 12lbs. My Limelight P has become my goto bass for my functions band...now sporting a Detuner and a Wizard trad pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[b]A[/b]: Well, I can't believe it's not butter. [b]V[/b]: Yeah, well I believe that is the idea, yeah.

[b]A[/b]: And you know, I can't believe it's not ‘I Can't Believe It's Not Butter’. [b]V[/b]: Mmm. I'm losing you now. [b]A[/b]: Well, you know ‘I Can't Believe It's Not Butter’? [b]V[/b]: Yeah, you think it is butter. [b]A[/b]: No no, I mean you know the stuff that I can't believe is not butter is called ‘I Can't Believe It's Not Butter’? [b]V[/b]: Probably, yeah, yeah. [b]A[/b]: Well I can't believe the stuff that is not ‘I Can't Believe It's Not Butter’ is not ‘I Can't Believe It's Not Butter’, and I can't believe that both ‘I Can't Believe It's Not Butter’ and the stuff that I can't believe is not ‘I Can't Believe It's Not Butter’ are both, in fact, not butter. And I [i]believe[/i] they both might be butter, in a cunning disguise. And in fact there's a lot more butter around than we all thought there was. [b]V[/b]: Yeah.

Greggo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Goodness me I never really got whole relic/roadworn thing but seeing this thread has made me appreciate them in a new light. What a stunning instrument!
