wateroftyne Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 OK... to help me decide... Would those of you with maple-board Limelight P's mind posting pics that clearly show the board, preferably in daylight? One of my dilemmas is the old maple / rosewood thing. I think I prefer the look of Limelight's rosewood, but I'm not sure... Quote
wateroftyne Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424962409' post='2702383'] Well if you don't want an early 60s blonde/tort/rosewood, how about a 70s aged olympic white/black pg/one-piece maple neck..? [/quote] The latter is something I'd love to do. I just need to see a few more clear shots of the maple boards. A lot of them I've seen have heavy relic'ing which isn't to my taste... Quote

A maple board with forty-odd years of wear on it is very hard to fake. Particularly a 70s one with about a gallon of poly on it... they pretty much last forever!

Hopefully it will be brighter tomorrow and I'll get some pics for you then Quote

pajhartley Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Well, I'm now the proud & lucky owner of Limelight number 4 (the P-bass, serial 00104) & Limelight number 5 (the J-bass, serial 00105). I've had the P-bass for a couple of years & love it, so when I saw that Mark had number 5 in I just had to go for it! Picked it up yesterday, lovely drive down to Devon!
