three

As a former Limelight owner, I can attest to the superb quality, feel and playability of these instruments - a real pleasure to play and none of the stress of getting dings in gig situations. Fantastic colour and the sound of these things is immense - I know there's some conjecture as to the source of the pickups but the Js in mine sounded amazing - very vintage Fender. This is an absolute steal at this price - I don't need another bass but I'm really tempted. Good luck - 'really shouldn't need it

Is the refin (body and neck) nitro? Do you know who did the refin? Looks beautiful

Absolutely staggering

Best big stage amp I've ever played through - unbelievable heft

Have a 4 and in the NW part of most weeks - drop me a pm with whereabouts. It's a16.5 and 32 with bendwell and non-standard PU spacing so a bit unusual

This is a real shame - one of the most gifted luthiers on the planet but his business practices are indefensible. I do not think that Celinder is deliberately trying to rip-off anybody, he simply seems unable to handle the customer care element of the trade - crucial where high-end and expensive luthiery is concerned. I'll pm with further details

Speechless. Anniversary electronics?

Is this a Bird Brothers case - if so, they're superb!

The Glock and Monique are very different (but both superb) - if it's clean and uncoloured youre looking for, then have a look too at a Millennia TD-1. There's a valve path available with the Millennia but its a slightly pillowy, soft option rather than valve grit. The most 'accurate' pre I've used - very versatile but repays experimentation (or advanced knowledge)

SOLD - thanks for the interest

Hi all,

this one needs little introduction - the '61 Relic Limelight Jazz originally specced by Discreet and coveted by many. Probably the reference Limelight with pics all over the place. There's a thread in which I previously thought about selling here:

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/251376-withdrawn-limelight-61-jazz-heavy-relic-olympic-white-l750/page__hl__limelight%20jazz%20relic"]http://basschat.co.u...%20jazz%20relic[/url]

This comes with a Spitfire pick guard - around £130 to import from the US and absolutely outstanding (I was offered £110 for the guard alone). I've just moved and can't find the original guard - I'll include if it turns up but no guarantees I'm afraid. The barrels were frozen and have been replaced with very nice brass saddles. Comes with a functional but scruffy Spider ABS case.

Playability is amazingly good - the action was high for me so I managed to get it right down - incredibly low for a Fender type bass. Lovely feel and stunning looks.

I don't play long-scale at all, and if I do, then it's my Will Lee necked Shuker. Otherwise, this wouldn't be going - it's amazing. Only one image for now, and those at the link above for now but loads more available and I'll upload tomorrow.

Collection from Manchester of Birmingham. I can ship but with a bit of difficulty. Price is a firm £825 and no trades thanks - I'm reducing an over-blown collection.

Bought my first Shuker a few months ago - PJ with many JJ features (and many more high end refinements and appointments). it's outrageously good - playability is amazing and ergonomics are lovely. This is a bargain IMO!

Here's a Spitfire for comparison - lovely 3D and slightly more red and cream-yellow than appears here (iPhone). About as good as it gets from contemporary suppliers (but very expensive - mine came ready-fitted)

These are absolutely beautiful instruments - sheer class. I have 251 (very close - probably within a couple of months). Mine had the same 'milky' finish problem at the side of the neck so I had a neck only re-fin a few months ago (from the guys that originally undertook the finishing for Status back in the mid '80s) In my opinion, this is an excellent price - I was offered a great deal more for mine just a year ago. Someone is going to get a classic bass here

How cute - I like this very much - unique, individual and very cool!

had the 5 string 'non X' version of this - outstanding instruments with the highest level of attention to detail and a lovely feel

Some of the finest woodworking I've seen! Is that neck through or slotted - nice to see an image from the end of the body

I really don't know what's happening in the world of bass! Outrageously cheap IMO

Last couple of bumps - I have a viewing on this on Wednesday and if it doesn't go then, it's off on consignment. Collection from Birmingham for £1030

Hahaha, next door, 'shton

A few more bumps before consignment

Still here and still lovely! I can ship this in the UK with shipping included in the price (excludes insurance)

Jesus, what a bass and what a bargain. GLWTS.

Thanks for this - it really is outrageously lovely and I'm at a bit of a loss as to why it hasn't sold - a very flat market I suspect!

This is still here and I'm back in the country

These International colours from the mid 70s are among my favourites ever on a Fender - absolutely lovely!

@Discreet...it's safely stored (away from building dust) and missing you...
