Marc S Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Ever since I missed out on a Fiesta Red Limelight P, with J width neck - I've been kicking myself However, I recently became a convert to the P/J arrangement of pickups.... So I decided to order my very own Fiesta Red P/J from Mark, having reached a milestone in work This bass is absolutely amazing in every way. I've not played a pre-cbs Fender, but I imagine this is how they would feel and sound Very very pleased with my present to myself. Pics courtesy of Mark at Limelight EDIT: PS. Hutton... they are worth the wait Edited January 22, 2018 by Marc S 2 Quote
Fisheth Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Sent an email regarding a Limelight... Struggling to decided between Shoreline Gold, Sherwood Green and LPB... They all look delightful. Quote

You'll go straight to hell. 3 Quote
Fisheth Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 A bit more expensive than what I was hoping for £950 , but I've asked to see examples of Burgandy Mist and Sherwood Green as I couldn't find those on the gallery, but it looks like BM may win out based on the Jazzes I've seen Quote
charic Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 You seem to be suffering with a pretty bad case of GAS lately Quote

ead Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Not altogether a bad price when seen next to an MIM Roadworn bass. A lot more individual attention to detail I feel and they don't all look exactly the same Quote

Though the Roadworn series are superb basses IMO and the relicing does look great But as you say, each Limelight has slightly different relciing. You can specify the amount of relicing when you order one, but even 2 people specifying the same "level" of relicing will get slight differences The relicing on my Limelight is absolutely superb, I must say 1 Quote

I was contemplating doing a B&B Precision, but on second thoughts, that would be immensely wrong. Edited February 1, 2018 by Fisheth 1 Quote
DaytonaRik Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Or you can add your own relic on top of the Limelight supplied relic! I wear a few bangles/bracelets etc and it soon added that authentic 'genuine' roadwork look on top of Mark's original work Edited February 1, 2018 by DaytonaRik 1 Quote

Of course, you are "allowed" to have a B&B Precision - just as long as you have one without B&B - to balance things up ...or maybe even two, and possibly a fretless Edited February 2, 2018 by Marc S Quote

From top-to-bottom: Lake Placid Blue Burgundy Mist Sherwood Green (often mistaken for aged LPB - the passage of time, and the right amount of sunlight & nicotine can leave them very similar) Quote
