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.. Is it rude to ask the price 😇 Quote
Dunk Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Give Mark a shout and you’ll be pleasantly surprised... if you’ve been drooling over Fender custom shop stuff at £3-5,000 or even Bill Nash stuff at £2-2,500 you’ll be really really pleasantly surprised. His stuff if top notch and lovely to play. Obviously you can spec things up with lightweight tuners etc but honestly the basic spec from him is excellent and of course the colour and level of relic and neck width etc is all down to you, so it’s custom built.. drop him a line, he’s very happy to discuss. 1 Quote
thedontcarebear Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 I am not sure if this has been answered, but does he make all the basses? Or does he assemble and then relic? Quote

wateroftyne Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 I say 'He', but I believe there's two people involved. Quote

BassApprentice Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Question - Do Limelight allow for slightly more custom pickup arrangements? Or do they only deal in Fender styles? Also, do they do 5 strings? Ta! Quote

Dunk Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 No fives but P or J bodies with either P or J width neck and many pickup configurations.. P, J or MM or combinations of.. Quote
thedontcarebear Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 What kind of price are these new? Feel free to PM if better! Quote

Mine was just into four figures. Small upcharge on mine to get a premium grain body as it was for a natural finish. 1 Quote
wateroftyne Posted September 7, 2020 Author Posted September 7, 2020 My P was just into four figures, but it has Gotoh Res-o-Lites. 2 Quote
BlueMoon Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 A little bit more expensive for a Jazz, but well in the same ballpark. All depends on specific extras (e.g. Stack knob, painted headstock, res-o-lites, reliced ashtray etc). 1 Quote
cLepto-bass Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I was quoted approx. £1000 for a fairly standard P bass build in July but was told the order books are full right now. Still waiting to hear from Mark regarding when he can accept orders again. Quote
Dunk Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I would recommend the lightweight tuner option but even the standard build is superb with no upgrades. You get full choice of colour and can decide on the level of relic’ing included in the base price. I now own four of them and each is superb and unique. Quote

Dunk Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 The Olympic white one came from another BC’er Brian.. the Black one and the Charcoal Frost one I ordered to my spec and the White over Candy Apple Red one Mark had made as a ‘stock’ bass and I snapped it up.. All play differently although the black and Frost ones are my main basses and were intentionally made to feel almost identical so I could swap between them (Frosty is tuned BEAD). 2 Quote
Dunk Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Actually I think I may have posted two pics of Frosty there.. very hard to spot the differences on my phone screen!! 😬 Quote
Booga13 Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 And I have a new arrival in my family, went to see Mark in September whilst the lockdown had eased and look what showed on this Friday😁 I can't sing Marks prasies enough, I am over the moon with every element of this beauty 5 Quote

Quote
Booga13 Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 It sounds every bit as good as it looks😁 I spent a lot of time browsing Marks gallery of previous builds and gave him a mix of suggestions as to elements I liked, not direct requests but just a guide to what I had in my head, I was very happy with his interpretation😎 2 Quote
