Just two things to say here - first, these basses are absolutely amazing instruments with extraordinary playability (and this is one of the most beautiful examples I've seen), and second, Pestie is without doubt one of BC's finest and most trustworthy sellers. A stunning bass and a brilliant seller

This is a really lovely bass at an astounding price in my opinion. I had a Limelight J and it was sublime (the OW 'reference' heavy relic). The necks are J width nut but slightly (and it really is slight) thicker front to back. They don't feel overly 'substantial' but are solid, slick and comfortable - 'fast' if that actually means anything? Pickups are excellent too and the overall feel and aesthetic is fantastic - very usable basses. This example is an absolute steal (and it's just 20 minutes over the Pennines from me!) Somebody is going to get a bargain.

Pm'd

Absolutely love this but doubt I could move it - absolute bargain!

I know this isn't going to light (!) but what's the total weight of the amp plus case? Incidentally, the case looks superb.

Some of the best necks in the business!

90s TE gear is dirt cheap now. However, every time I see somebody gigging with one, it sounds absolutely amazing (to my ears, better than pretty much all of the contemporary rigs). I gigged TE for around 10 years - rock solid and compliments at almost every gig. Wish I could carry this

I used to own this - by far the nicest Overwater I've ever seen - it's truly beautiful and plays wonderfully well. It was just a bit too big for me. Fantastic seller too!

Can you let us know where you are if you can't ship?

Lovely - there's a nice review in Premier Guitar (with finger and pick sound samples) for those with an interest. Very cool bass

[quote name='jimbobothy' timestamp='1454581361' post='2970934'] Hi there Three, The original parts taken off went onto a Fender Roadworn jazz I sold on here not too long ago, so I don't have them. I do have the tug bar and bridge off the Roadworn that is the same style (60s with threaded saddles) and matches the aging of the VVT control plate. I also have a Fender soft gig bag that will be included in the sale. Peace.. [/quote] Thanks - this is very tempting - love the blocks and bound with MHS (and my previous Limelight was stunning!)

Lovely! Are the original parts included and does this come with a case (I know that Limelights frequently come in a case)?

What an absolutely beautiful bass - I love the way the different planes are combined into the whole. What a salutary tale too. I suspect that I've been through similar emotions but was never sufficiently courageous or single-minded to knock it on the head. Good luck with the sale - a unique bass, Even greater luck with whatever you decide to do next

One of the finest valve pres - I've tried a lot and had a 680 for a while. I'd still have it had I not discovered - following much expensive experimentation - that I prefer SS. The 680 is bullet-proof - brilliant and very quiet for both stage and studio

I only know of one other in such good condition - these are lovely basses and this is a beautiful example. 11 lbs plus is about right for these - unfortunately, much too heavy for me (all that solid brass really contributes to the weight)

I'll attest to the quality and feel of the necks on these - I had a US JO and the neck was superb - silky, fast and incredible feel all the way up (superb carving and attention to ergonomics)

I had a chestnut topped MG5 - it was a thing of extraordinary beauty but the board was simply too wide for me. I keep looking and hoping that this has been sold...I'm starting to weaken...

I've lusted after these for years and what a beautiful and unusual example. How does it balance on the knee (and on a strap)? I've had a few Status Streamlines and whilst they're great on a strap, they're not so easy to use in a seated position (unless one wears a strap!)

If all original, the circuit will be Fender's first proprietary active 2-band that was designed for this model. It's a powerful, if slightly hissy, unit and has some very usable tones - it can be by-passed for standard passive operation

That looks to be in gorgeous condition! What's the weight - I've owned one and played loads - most were (seriously) unbearably heavy?

Somebody needs to jump on this quickly - outrageous price IMO - I can't believe this is still here. The equal of Celinder, Sadowsky, Alleva etc at least

Thanks all for the interest and very kind words - now sold (in well-under 2 hours!) pending payment

SOLD pending payment. Absolutely stunning Shuker PJ 4 in gloss black with all black hardware. Basic details: JJ Burnel recipe body Maple neck with beautiful Birdseye board and brass nut Extraordinarily figured headstock veneer Sadowsky active with VTC DImarzio (Sadowsky spec) P&J pickups Nut width 1.45" - neck precisely modelled from Sadowsky Will Lee and incredibly slim, fast and playable Weight - just over 9lbs (precise weight to come) Condition - almost as new - some minor swirling on scratchplate and very minor swirling near J pickup Supplied with as new (just one slightly sticky catch) Shuker branded Hiscox case Stunning bass - incredible action, playability and versatility. Pro set-up just before Christmas with D'Addario 40-100 nickel rounds (and new battery!). Collection in Manchester or I can ship in UK (at cost and at purchaser's risk). Genuinely very regrettable sale but I'm only realistically playing short-scale. No trades thanks and the price is firm - this is a bargain IMO - looking at Jon's prices, I'd say this bass would be very well North of £2k if spec'd new. Better images when there's some light
