Just received my Nordy NP4V, along with the La Bella flats I had on the latest acquisition (charcoal frost). I'm sure this is old news for many of you, but... LUSH. The Nordy has more of a BKP '58 character wrapped up in velvet, still punchier than the CS '62. Perfect for motown bits but, definitely great for punk and the like with rounds and covers off. The mojo of these covers is undeniable...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Oof - I'd play that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Ah cheers @Lw.! Glad to see this finished with the right pickup and covers etc. Now it's all about just playing it... Having said that, I may well send the neck over to Mark to paint the headstock matching with the body.... ... and it started to tickle me adding a J pickup to the purple bass! When I ordered the bass it was gonna be my only P and wanted to keep it as a 'pure p' but now that I've two more basses it may add to the variety of tones.... Not a thing I desperately need, but could happen - with a 4 way tone switch for J/ PJ parallel / PJ series / P it could be very interesting! I'd keep it to two pots and not drill the side for the jack, keep the original lay out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 ... I am weak! Crossposting (apologies!) but thought I'd share since relevant here... Found I needed an excuse to put a 60's pickup now that I have the modern / dirty ones and a '57... spoke with Mark and..... likely something in this line will turn up by my 35th birthday 12 minutes ago, Ander87 said: [...] I've done a heckuvalot of digging into the J/MM dilemma - installed a series/parallel circuit and a tone switch allowing me to do bypass / 22pf / 100pf and..... voila!!!

CameronJ Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Maybe I’ve missed something but has Limelight ever made a ‘51 or ‘56 style single coil Precision? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronJ Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I’ve emailed Mark - awaiting response. I’m in LA at the moment so the -8hr time zone difference means I’ll probably get a reply when I’m fast asleep! I forgot to ask whether he does short scales as well. Has anyone ever ordered a Limelight Mustang for example…? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 … nope! Unless he’s changing his MO, Mark just does vintage precision and jazz basses, 4 strings exclusively. I’ll be in trouble if he starts doing mustangs or 5 stringers….! Ander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I’m still GASing for a Limelight Flea Jazz in shell pink with a tort guard. Or maybe a Precision in the same colours.

I resolved by selling back my telecaster guitar (one week old, but great reminder that my guitar days are proper gone and I've no business with guitars) and getting a Fender JMJ in Daphne blue that I'll be picking up this Sunday Nitro, Lollipop tuners, clay dots... should gel really nicely with my Limelight P's! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it adds a lot of swag to the bass I have to say - a very unplanned Sean Hurley tribute but having said that it feels natural and made sense. I am a fan of having vintage winks to my P basses, I love my purple metallic with the covers on! Best, Ander. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Lewis Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Very nice work @Ander87, the new pick guard looks much better too. How did the mute fitting go? Edited January 25, 2022 by Skin Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
