I wasn't sure if the colors would look good unless it was clean and shiny. Was a toss up between a limelight and a Peterbuilt but I'm glad I went with the limelight. Quote

Veils Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I've taken the plunge!!! 60's style jazz, heavy relic, colour will be the same shade of green that's on the Mexican flag (I've found a cool relic'd Mex flag pickguard to go with it), matching headstock. Cannot wait!!!! Edited March 26, 2015 by Veils Quote

Bulletproof screen, radiator guns and the famous ejector seat. Passenger accessory usually lost within five minutes. Edited March 26, 2015 by discreet Quote

Veils Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Forgot to add that I've asked for bound neck and block inlays too Quote

Veils Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Well I'm not sure that such a colour is 60s, I'm really just a fan of the other cosmetic aspects Quote
Handwired Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Here's my '65' Precision, it should be in my grubby hands by next Wednesday. [attachment=187634:009.JPG] [attachment=187632:001.JPG][attachment=187631:005.JPG][attachment=187633:010.JPG] Better pics when it arrives. Quote
DaytonaRik Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) What level relic is on that? I've just got word from Mark that once his current build is finished my CBS era Lynott replica is underway Edited March 31, 2015 by DaytonaRik Quote

Great-looking bass, despite my misgivings about tort on black... not much choice in 1965, though... [/quote] I dunno. Two blokes that I knew bought their Fender Ps brand new with white 3 ply guards in 1965. One in Germany, via the NAAFI in January '65, was sonic blue with a white guard, the second from Selmers, Charing Cross Road in September '65 was dakota red with a white guard. Geordie and Tony, if you are still alive and reading this, please back me up; more to the point, where are those basses now? Quote

DaytonaRik Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) My wait is coming to an end! Mark let me know that they're currently working on my CBS era 'Phil Lynott' Precision replica and it should be in my eager hands early May! Edited April 14, 2015 by DaytonaRik Quote
