Just a quick update that I’m quite possibly driving down from north wales to bath later this week, so can take the bass with me……. passing through Shrewsbury, Telford, B’Ham and M6, down the M5….. Had to change plans......will likely be going in a week or two now.

Hello, will weigh it when I get home - it's not heavy at all......

You’re welcome mate.

I’ve only just properly caught up with the WHOLE thread. brilliant. I had a quick read earlier last week, so then sent Trav a Facebook pm….. having now read the whole thing properly, I’ve chucked in a few £….. ……to make sure he doesn’t sell that beautiful bass! oh, and gets this work done asap! good luck Iris! (And Trav and Jen and family) well done BC!

Just a quick update that I’m quite possibly driving down from north wales to bath later this week, so can take the bass with me……. passing through Shrewsbury, Telford, B’Ham and M6, down the M5….. As per my post on the Limelight P bass thread; I've had to rearrange and this will likely happen in a week or two now.

From a quick forum search on here, Mark at Limelight winds his own pickups….. do a quick forum search and you’ll see loads of comments regarding them and the sound quality etc

I will re check but I believe they are limelight’s own - great pickups and authentic

It certainly is and despite a few messages, it’s still currently available……

Hey guys, would it generally be preferred if I added some photos of the pots / codes, underside of pickups etc? cheers.

Just remembered this from 10 years ago. this is how the bass sounds recorded….and I was playing it on the promo vid also…..

It's totally not a slim jazz style neck, its still pretty chunky and more P than my 2 Jazzes.....

****UPDATE - REDUCTION TO £2800.00***** Final reduction before I withdraw from sale and put away under the bed! Hey guys, this is the second of my basses to go - I'm not gigging regularly and have weighed up for 2 years now which 2 I would let go. With a heavy heart, I'm putting up for sale my beautiful 1974 Fender Jazz Bass in sunburst with RW board, block and bound neck and black scratchplate. It's in beautiful condition, with literally about 2 or 3 'dings' on the body, which you can see in the photos. When I bought it, it hadn't been played in years - my guess is that it had laid under someones bed or something as it hasn't had a hard life at all. I mainly used it for recording and 'bigger' type gigs - not for weddings and pubs etc! I dated the pots off the codes - week 5 of 1974. Red ink on the bottom of the pickups appear to show 1974 and the serial number can obvs be checked also. I've owned it once 2015. The neck pickup wasn't working at all when I got it, so Matt at ://www.houseoftonepickups.com gave it a full set up and rewound the neck pick up back to period correct specs and wax potted - all hand wound. I have the paperwork from Matt somewhere. She sounds absolutely mint and is a decent, comfortable weight!! Test drives welcome with a brew provided in Wrexham. Comes in a modern, used, Fender hard case. I'd rather not post this due to value - at your risk!! Surely something of this vintage needs picking up! Sale only, no trades. 14-10-2024 - added a photo of underside of pots - can see codes 1377405 - week 5 Jan 1974. It all seems to add up to being a late 1973 / early 1974 4 bolt neck Jazz Bass. I'll have to remove strings and scratchplate etc to look underneath pickups etc as I can't seem to find the photos Matt took for me when he rewound the neck pickup. Cheers, BITF.

****UPDATE - now £750.00 FINAL REDUCTION BEFORE i WITHDRAW FROM SALE Hello guys, I've finally made the call to cull a couple of basses - I'm no longer gigging regularly enough to justify keeping 4 awesome basses, so I've made the tough decision to part with 2. The first for sale here is a Limelight P bass in fiesta red over desert sand, made for me by the excellent Mark at Classic and Cool guitars back in 2016. I had been hankering after a proper Fender CS Pino P bass, but couldn't afford one, so I asked Mark to build me a 'tribute' one which I could gig with. Its a beauty - Fiesta Red with just the right amount of relic work - IMO... If you know Limelights and Mark's work, you'll know how good this bass is - https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/limelight-custom-gallery/ Lightweight, Jazz profile neck and all the usual Limelight spec in terms of wiring and pickups etc. I have the original bill of sale and it's in the pics so you can see. For Sale only, no trades. Comes with a generic and used black rectangular hardcase. Will post at your cost and risk! Rather you come and try it out and have a brew! Trials welcome - in Wrexham, N Wales. Thanks
