  1. Here's the spec list from Limelight:- 1957 Precision Bass Candy Apple Red over silver/white Hand rolled finger board Black dots Ultra Light relic – as per pictures Maple P width neck Gold annodised scratchplate Period correct 1957 Fender Precision logo Thumb rest below strings. All metal work VERY lightly tarnished Reverse Gotoh Tuners Strap button on reverse of headstock Thomastik Flatwound Nickel schaller strap buttons Vintage wiring Switchcraft Jack CTS pots and Spraque cap Alder body
  2. Limelight say it is a maple P width neck appropriate to 1957. I can measure nut width if that helps.
  3. Up for sale is my Limelight '57' Precision. The colour is faded Candy Apple Red as appropriate to a '57' which has been around for sixty years. This is the lightest relic job that Limelight has done and it is extremely pretty. All hardware is age appropriate with the pickups being wound by Limelight themselves to replicate a '57' sound. A bonus with this sale is a G&G Fender tweed case which is in excellent condition. The bass is strung with a new set of Thomastik TI flatwounds. This bass plays and sounds superb and will make someone very happy. Price includes shipping to UK mainland. No trades I'm afraid.
  4. Feel free to use any of my pics.
  5. Not at all. Lightweight Limelight!
  6. Just for the record here is the newly arrived Limelight 00218.
  7. Limelight 00218 has finally arrived and what a beauty she is. I asked Mark to do as light a relic as possible on a '57' precision. She looks great, sounds great, and plays great. What more can I ask?
  8. This made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Obviously Mavis Staples liked it as well.
  9. It absolutely astounds me that this is still here. If I was a Jazz player it would be gone. My '84' precision is a marvellous bass. It is indeed a shame that bass players haven't yet caught on to how superb the 82 - 85 Fenders are. Don't believe the nonsense you hear about quality etc. These basses were built alongside the first reissues that command high prices. This bass in this condition is a huge bargain.
  10. Where and when are you playing tomorrow? I'm in Aberdeen and may try and catch the gig.
  11. What a tasty Precision. Beautiful!
  12. Very nice indeed. The relicing is quite superb!
  13. That is quite uncanny. That is very nearly what I have ordered except I have gone for the very light relic with a candy apple red finish. Great minds think alike!
  14. This thread is not helping with my waiting period! 😀
  15. Absolutely. You can never be too careful. I once bought a bass from a well-known purveyor of vintage instruments only to find that the neck and body didn’t begin life together.
  16. Ah. Now it makes sense. Thankyou.👍
  17. Waiting time at the moment is roughly 12 weeks.
  18. Deposit is usually £200.
  19. You are in the wrong forum my friend. Get a moderator to shift this to 'amps and cabs for sale'. This forum is for basses only. Good luck with the sale!
  20. Thanks for the kind comments gents. She is a beauty! I didn’t go as far as drilling the wall. You can see the legs of the Hercules stand which I used. The wall does make a good background as it makes the bass stand out.
  21. The official Fender colour is ivory.
  22. I hope you’re wearing as well as the Precision Andy!😂
  23. The precise date is February 14th 1984. That’s what is stamped on the heel of the neck.
