Marc S Posted January 22, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll go straight to hell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheth Posted February 1, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted February 1, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was contemplating doing a B&B Precision, but on second thoughts, that would be immensely wrong.

DaytonaRik Posted February 1, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
