bh2 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1400264364' post='2452483'] You'll have to wait and see!... Ah go on then. Lightly relic'd '60s precision bass, jazz-width neck with rosewood 'board (clay dot inlays & hand rolled fingerboard edges), Olympic White with 4 ply nitro tortoise shell 'plate and all the vintage style hardware/pickup wiring etc. Can't wait!! [/quote] Can't wait to see piccys! Quote
karlfer Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Oh God, Mark has a Burgundy Mist J and Fiesta Red P, both reliced, on his site at the moment. Really struggling to avoid the J Quote

Really struggling to avoid the J [/quote] I was just looking at that Jazz. It's absolutely incredible! I'm quite glad my money is tied up in a precision from him already. On the plus side, the more basses I see from him, the more I'm looking forward to mine being finished!

bh2 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Oh my days! Not really a fan of BM but that is a beauty! Quote
karlfer Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Skej, what sort of lead time did Mark quote you please? Quote
JamesBass Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Maybe going to Mark will get me the vintage P bass I want/need! Think he shall being receiving another email before too long! Though some sound bytes would be appreciated if the owners here can do that, that is! Quote
njr911 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I love the Pino alike on the website, slightly too reliced maybe but it looks good with the desert sand. Quote
skej21 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1401245776' post='2461624'] Skej, what sort of lead time did Mark quote you please? [/quote] I sent off my bass to him just under a week ago for the part-ex. He said he is away in holiday for a week or so then he's going to get on it when he gets back but told me he'd aim for the end of June. Time will tell how long it actually takes (and I'm in no rush!) but he is very efficient with communications and details for the build so I fully expect him to keep his word and deliver as agreed. Everything I've heard from him so far would indicate he's a top bloke to deal with! Although, if we keep bombarding him with work, the times quoted may start to get longer lol. Quote
charic Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I wonder if they'll make a body for the P neck I've got lying around... hmmm... Jazz Bass on steroids, heavily relic'd. Maaaaaybe Quote
JamesBass Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Have emailed an enquiry off, though an automated response came straight back, seems he's on his holidays until the 2nd of June, he's gonna have a nasty load of emails to answer next week! Still really want to hear one before I commit to anything! Quote

JamesBass Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 So with my 21st birthday now only 3 months away, my parents have said they will get me one of these basses or something similar, however at £795 for the 1962 spec P bass I'm yearning for, I feel that's an absolute snip! So I'm now eagerly awaiting sound clips from Skej when he gets his and has the chance to up load it! Quote

[/quote] The next build after mine. This spec was my second choice. I must stop looking at his site! A couple of weeks on and mine is still getting plenty of play, got a run of gigs in July and can't wait to give it a proper airing in public. Quote
discreet Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Here we go, then... Fender Jazz 1960 YOB. Started a new thread so as not to clutter up this one with loads of pics...

wateroftyne Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Can any of the Limelight P owners give me any insight into the neck profiles on these? Are they C, or U? Chunky, shallow...? Ta :-) Quote
skej21 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 For those that were looking to see if Mark did slab precisions, I found this when browsing: http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/sold_basses/00121limelight66slabp.htm Looks like it'd be possible :-) Quote
Guest Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Hi Michael, I spec'd a Jazz neck on mine so sorry I can't help. Quote
