So can't wait, it can't be that much longer. Looks like I forgot to post pictures of my Limelight bass. Its a replica of a 1960 Fender Jazz Stack Knob Fretless in Sherwood Green. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom one is basically an ESP 400 Series Jazz based on a Fender 1966 Jazz. They were made in the same factory as the Japanese Fender's so it could of come of the production line with a Fender logo, ESP logo or I believe a Tokai logo on the headstock. All the components are exactly the same as a Fender including the headstock shape, neck, bridge, tuners, fittings, control plate and fittings etc. Edited April 13, 2021 by Linus27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Just realised I didn’t actually post a picture of my Limelight in this thread. The full unedited version is here, but the brief version is I wanted a John Deacon alike P bass in the finish (stripped) that he was using it for the Live Aid gig. I know I mentioned I had a spare Flea neck which I was going to use in my Limelight build, but I ended up using that for my own self build bitsa J which you can see here. On with the photos.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Well here I am with my new squeeze! I recently joined The Barking Poets (check us out!) and needed a bass fitting for the punk rock vibe we play. Got this one a week before the gig thanks to @Marc S and just couldn't be happier (top chap to deal with BTW). I got a lot of compliments on the day, it so looks the part! Now I want another one with maple board, I've seen a purple one in the past I'd love to own!! The relic is super genuine and makes me not worry about the occasional ding or stage affairs. Best, Ander. IMG_7030.heic 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdenspur Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Had this for nearly 5 years I think, purchased from Soulman of this parish. It is lovely, though not getting much action at the moment! It's a '64 tribute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charcoal frost paint.. jazz neck.. strung BEAD for down tuning. 2. Black paint, jazz neck.. regular tune.. a straight ‘63 spec (my no.1) 3. Olympic white.. jazz neck.. (backup bass) ‘63 spec again 4. Olympic white over Candy Apple Red.. P neck with matched headstock and.. standard tune.. 70’s black scratchplate for when I’m in a punk mood! All medium to heavy relics..

Reggaebass Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) I notice some of the limelight necks have what looks like 3 notches at the bottom of the fingerboard , is that a kinda trade mark or part of the relic Edited August 13, 2021 by Reggaebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander87 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 odd one out (and aware I'm better off on the 'looking for' section of gear on sale). If anyone is thinking of letting go of their Limelight precision, I may be interested - bonus points if not too relic / funky colour / lightweight / jazz neck. I've one on the way but I'm working towards a trio of P's for both my bands! Best, Ander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 So... Big day today friends - my new Limelight is ready and will be shipped out to me on Tuesday. I will report once in hand, but the spec is alder/maple neck, purple metallic under white, '68 P bass with Jazz neck and some winks to the 57/58s. Lightweight as requested with Goto Resolites at 3.7kg/8.2lbs. Ultra Light relic with weather checking on the nitro. Matching headstock and well, a Nordy Blade P I had around (I'll have Limelight's 70s vintage hot pickup in the tweed case ordered). I can boldly say it is the most beautiful bass I've ever seen - challenge me to that! The experience with Mark has been superb, and I think it shows; the first three pictures are more colour accurate, the ones on the floor show more blue than the bass is - enter Grimace! .... AND LOOK AT THAT HEADSTOCK!!!!! I am already a very happy customer, and will be hunting another Limelight P veeery, very soon! Hope you enjoyed it, will share more detail! Ander. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
