Ant Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 not strictly a full limelight, but here is my slab precision build utilising a limelight jazz neck in a medium relic [attachment=214498:image1.JPG][attachment=214499:image2.JPG][attachment=214500:image3.JPG][attachment=214501:image4.JPG] Quote

So should I choose one will I take the rosewood because of the feel Quote
jimbobothy Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 The maple board one, no 00125 used to belong to me at one point. It played very nicely when I had it with a really nice low action. Moved it on as I prefer 5s more (after a long battle deciding ) Quote
pancho Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) hey guys, heres my beloved Limelight, lake placid blue with matching headstock, in action with my band! its a real beauty! and getting gigged a lot! let me know what u think [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fft3CpGv2oo"]https://www.youtube....h?v=Fft3CpGv2oo[/url] how can i upload pics? im new in forums so really dont see the attach button or so?

DaytonaRik Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I've had my Lynott replica for about 14 months and gigged it every other week in that time but I've just noticed that it's getting considerably more road worn on the forearm chamfer - [attachment=224288:IMG_5180.jpg] [attachment=224289:IMG_5178.jpg] And the reason for this additional wear 'n' tear - [attachment=224290:IMG_5179.jpg] I'm not for one minute complaining and it's interesting to see the difference between real wear, noting how much larger the area of worn top layer down to just primer is compared to the original relic'd finish. I'll keep an eye on this over the next few weeks/months and document its progress! Quote

discreet Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Fantastic. Creamy white, maple and mint is one of the hottest colour schemes, imho. But now I have Limelight GAS again... Quote

MattM Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) New 62 in Fiesta Red just landed. Downsizing collection to one wooden bass only from my XL2, couldn't find a decent 2EQ Ray, and have really enjoyed a Matt Freeman Precision as my 2nd residence bass for past couple,of years following a bad MIM Precision experience years ago. My first relic bass also (wife and son: "it needs a new paint job" - sheesh!). Very impressed so far, nice comfy neck - rolled edges, 40mm B type nut, and sounds great with flats on. I can do anything from Motown (tone off)to 70s/80s punk and indie with a pick. Chuffed.
