Conan Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'm confused... (it doesn't take much, I realise!). Is that a Fender, relicked by Limelight or a Limelight J bass with a snidey Fender decal? If it is the latter, isn't that a tiny bit naughty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hey Wot, did you have the JO flats you used here anyway as I've just been looking at the Lakland website and it seems they just sell GHS Precision Flats now. Normal gauge. Shame as I wanted to try the custom JO gauge at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great bass though, so I'm not going to grumble. FWIW, they have a geet big 'Limelight' scribble and serial number on the back of the headstock, which the previous owner of this bass seems to have removed. If it were mine, I'd have left it on there. Also, I have no idea what's under the pickguard or in the neck pocket. Maybe there's something else under there.

[/quote] I seem to remember from somewhere that they are/were GHS flats, just in a custom gauge (100-40?) No bad thing if they are as I have GHS P flats on my hollowbody and they are fantastic, love them (long/light gauge 95-45 which on paper looks a bit odd but they are perfectly balanced and very easy to play - only $24.65 at bassstringsonline.com too! ) Edit: thinking about it, it's probably because JO has jumped ship and joined Dan Lakin on his new venture (new JO sig Jbass) Well done stockpiling a few sets BTW!

[/quote] Mark initially said end of June but just as an approx date but due to a bit of time away and another build taking a bit longer than expected he asked if he could move the date back a little (after asking me if that was ok :-)) to 'early July'... I am in no rush as I've got two basses to cover gig easily and I'd rather he took his time and did it properly than rush to finish it.

[/quote] Apart from the Fender decal on the headstock! Don't get me wrong - I'm not particularly bothered, and they mostly look fantastic (especially that Burgundy Mist J on the website! ). I just find it a bit odd that people are turning a blind eye to the fact that they are (to a certain extent) leading people to believe that they are Fenders. Not many audience members (or even fellow bass players) look at the [i][b]back[/b][/i] of the headstock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 With all this ill feeling about Antigua, it's only the olive component that does the damage. Remove that to leave a greyburst (as Alleva Coppolo do) and you get [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Basses%20CURRENT/Alleva%20Coppolo%20KBP5%202009%20CURRENT/DSCF3841.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Basses%20CURRENT/Alleva%20Coppolo%20KBP5%202009%20CURRENT/DSCF3841.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now me, I'm struggling to associate that with picking my nose at any time.
