Mattmit Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Nice! Limelights are the business. Got mine this year.. Quote
bh2 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Nice matt... does it eat the food you leave out for it? Quote
Rumple Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Awful looking piece of driftwood Mark, you might as well drop it off at my place the moment it arrives and promptly forget you ever owned it Quote
dmz Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Looks the bees knees ! Looking forward to your review Quote
skej21 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Just been looking through the recently sold section of the website and it's not helping my GAS one bit. Some of the Limelight jazzes are stunning! Quote

[/quote] haha!! no thats for the dog, its not mine, only the bass is mine, that was the day I had it delivered to my work, and the girl who sits next to me brings her dog in with her most days. I don't think the alpen is for the dog though, I think that's hers. On a side note, the day that bass arrived I got some last minute changes dumped on me and had to stay till about 9:30 when all I wanted to do was go home and play that bass. Last friday I had a GREAT 70s rickenfaker delivered and the same damn thing happened!! Quote

discreet Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Well... look what just arrived at my house in a brand new Hiscox case... OH, YES!! Sorry for wobbly pic - my hands were shaking when I took it! Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment, so having a little lie down... Initial impressions? Much darker colouring than in Mark's pics... which is a good thing. The pickguard is much better than I thought it was, but I've ordered a Spitfire replacement anyway purely because they are just so stunning. The bass is strung with 45-105 roundwounds, which are bright and bouncy but I've got some Status Half-Wounds coming (my current favourite) so when they arrive I'll post some sound files. Bass seems very light - I'll weigh it later on. It's very resonant, too. Set up perfectly by Mark. I bought a 1212L from Raggy of this parish a while back - he has a 62 or a 64 Jazz... can't remember which - and this really isn't a million miles away. It's even got a slab board! More impressions, pics and sound files later, when I've recovered from the shock of FedEx delivering it in one piece! Have taken half a Junior Disprin and will see if I rally round a bit in due course... WHOA!! Edited June 30, 2014 by discreet Quote
sblueplanet Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Wowser! Never heard of Limelight. Do they build lefties? Quote
discreet Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 [quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1403707104' post='2485489'] Hoorah for tort plate [/quote] Yes - properly fitted on a white* bass, as it should be. *White in this case being aged Olympic white, which can be anything from cream to egg-yolk.

Skol303 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Wow, that looks amazing! Seems very well priced too. I'm jealous. Now go and record something with it... I want to hear how it sounds. [i]Do it now!![/i] Quote
gary mac Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Come on Mark WAKEY WAKEY rise and shine. More pics and sound wanted Quote
karlfer Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 SUPERB, well done Mark and er, Mark. Top Marks all round (I'm going, I'm going!)> Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I hope it was well wrapped inside that case... Beautiful bass, though. I'm glad this side of things is taking off for Mark. Enjoy! Quote
bh2 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) OMG Ramesh! etc. Stack knobs! wow... offset holes for mutes? Tort looks super. Attention to detail is just amazing... I want. Many congratulations.... enjoy, enjoy!! Edited June 25, 2014 by bh2 Quote

I'll take some more pics tomorrow, too. Been busy this afternoon... got to make some more money before the current mrs discreet finds out how I've spent it! Edited June 25, 2014 by discreet Quote
miles'tone Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Congratulations discreet, she looks the bomb! Ain't no day like a NBD! Quote
Billy Apple Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Very nice Mark. But if this is your idea of a moderate relic, I'd like to see your version of a heavy one! I'm interested in the neck, Allparts do you think? More pics please! Quote
