Dunk Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Thanks Reggaebass.. it’s a long wait.. I recently sold my 1959 Precision after 20yrs of ownership and have asked Mark to replicate it.. although I took the opportunity to ‘refin’ to black as mine had a stripped finish for all the time I had it.. I spoke to him on the phone and exchanged many emails so I’m confident it’ll be great.. have you decided to spend your cash on something you can get your hands on sooner or pick up a used Limelight? I see they come up occasionally on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Stop it. Stop it RIGHT now. You lot are doing my GAS no good at all. There's only so long I can keep telling myself that I really don't need a light relic 65 Jazz in CAR with matching headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunk Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Only about 12 weeks Reggaebass.. I was quite lucky as Mark quotes 12-16 usually.. it’s the first bass I’ve bought without actually seeing it first and I could not be happier.. he builds great basses.. I ordered two, the second will be tuned BEAD.. can’t wait to get that one.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peety Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Just in case anyone is interested Mark sent me some pictures of a white over candy apple red precision he has made for stock, I was originally talking to him about making me a similar bass but with white blocks and he was struggling to access a neck. He e mailed me the pictures in case I would be interested it’s a stunning bass ,but at present with the fact it’s unlikely we’ll be gigging before the end of the year and the fact I already have 2 precision’s I really can’t justify another. Thought i’d Post just for your perusal and on the off chance someone is looking for a precision, i’ve had 3 basses off Mark and they more than hold their own with any other bass I’ve owned. If anyone is interested I have some more photos just drop me a message 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a matching black headstock too? I also can see the famous Limelight Pickguard crack is still in the same place!

Could you tell me who is singing on the track you're playing over Mr Wateroftyne? She sounds great. If you like that kind of soul, you'll like Mamas Gun (in case you've never heard of them before).

Rich Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Stop it, all of you. Please. You are doing my GAS no good at all.A Limelight build is the only way I'll ever get near my dream of owning a YOB Jazz. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I will definitely be ordering another one this year. After the truss rod went on my Flea ‘61 Jazz bass, I replaced it with a Status neck. Sometime later 🙄, Fender did actually supply me with a replacement Flea neck, so I’ve had this knocking about for a while. I’ve had a couple of ideas around what to do with it, but the more Limelight’s I see the more ideas keep popping into my head 😀. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
