Did your 66' arrive at last ? Shoreline gold with desert sand is tempting me... We are waiting for pics

There was a long delay on delivery of the block and bound neck... But finally it has arrived! ;-)
Mark said he has a bit of a backlog to clear then the build will start... Hoping to show some pics before Xmas :-)

Apologies if this has been shown before - had a look back through the 23 (!) pages and couldn't find it. Details / Spec's below with a link to the site listing. Not had this long but using it a lot - playing 5's mainly now but always feel the need for a J4 (and a fretless). This bass is great and looks/feels/sounds the business; already fooled quite a few people (including local bassists) who assumed it was a genuine USA pre-CBS 64. So I'll be selling my CS USAJ4 as it's too much of a worry to take some places (!!) :-

[b][font=Arial][size=4]Limelight Custom Guitars 00155 J Bass Medium relic Black over CAR[/size][/font][/b]
[font=Arial][size=3]This is a Limelight '64 J Bass with all the correct features from that era and featuring a "J" width neck. [/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=3] It's been quite a while since a bass has been available for stock as the last several months we've been busy making custom orders. This bass is in custom colour black over Candy Apple Red - it was common at the time for custom colours to be sprayed over another finish that had been rejected by quality control earlier. Most commonly Sunburst as they were the most difficult to get right, but certainly other colours were also sprayed over. [/size][/font]
[font=Arial][size=3]The body has a medium relic, but looks "right" The metal work is just lightly tarnished which is how we've been doing them recently, and I think it looks better and more authentic. [/size][/font]

The eagle has landed! Another cracker from Mark.
66 Jazz in Shoreline Gold, b&b rosewood neck, and both parchment and tort s/ps which I can't decide between! What would you do?

My only grumble is that its such a great colour but it doesn't come out in pics properly... Looks gold in the flesh but almost silver in photos!

Anything but tort. Buy a cream one. Goes very well with Shoreline.
