JamesBass Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Been in contact with Mark from LimeLight the past few days and saldy he's unable to make me a 60s P with light relicing in 3TS, though he does offer it in what I'd call EXTREME relic levels! So I'm now having to decide on an alternative colour or go for an alternative bass. So help me out here BassChat! Quote
discreet Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) 60s P? Aged white/blonde, rosewood neck, tort guard. Or washed-out sonic blue (over fiesta red), mint guard and rosewood neck (with ashtrays), Or you could go 70s and have Lake Placid Blue, rosewood neck, parchment guard (with ashtrays). Or Aged Oly White, black guard and one-piece maple neck. Edited January 1, 2015 by discreet Quote
ubit Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I think for a P, you can't go wrong with the old tobacco burst that you see so often. It just screams classic ! Edited January 1, 2015 by ubit Quote
JamesBass Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 Already have a maple necked Oly white P with black SP, so looking for something else colour wise. Like I said I did want a 3TSB but sadly that's not possible if I get a Limelight! Other than limelights, what's out there that does that 60s vibe really well? Quote

Is that because he already has one in stock? Quote

gary mac Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I can point you to a very lightly/hardly reliced at all, 70's P, in a very fetching sunburst [size=4] [/size] Quote
three Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 If you're going for a 70s bass, have a look at Capri Orange (with black screws in a white scratch plate!) Quote
Lynottfan Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Best colour for a P bass (tobacco burst and no pick guard??) Black with a mirror scratch plate any one (I'll get me coat...) Quote
ezbass Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Rosewood, tort guard on white for me, but I'm biased [URL=http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/P1-1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/P1-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote
Musky Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 My guitarist has a Musicmaster in Sonic Blue refinished in Olympic White - it looks the dogs nads with a bit of natural wear to the top layer, showing the blue underneath. Quote
colleya Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I'm in the same boat but for a jazz. The new bass budget took a bit of a car related hit so I've had more time to think about it. I think this is the problem when you have lots of choice, I just can't make my mind up. My possibles are: Oly White/Rw/tort - love this combo, the only thing stopping me is the chance to get something a bit different. Still not sure if that's wise or not. Sonic blue/Rw/red tort and matched headstock. Capri orange w/Rw/black w matched headstock. Or at least that was my shortlist until that pink jazz went up on the site. A bit too much wear above the pups for my taste, but it does look superb. Too much choice....... Quote
gsgbass Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I like Olympic White myself on my Precision. Edited February 5, 2015 by gsgbass Quote

Lozz196 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 For me, as it`s a 60s P? Aged white/blonde, rosewood neck, tort guard. I would also have gone with the 3TS, rosewood, tort combo but as you`ve said not available, white/blonde is the way forward. Quote

wateroftyne Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I'll be putting an order in for a Limelight P soon, and I'm in a similar dilemma. How about... Charcoal frost: LPB: Firemist: ..or Oly'n'Maple? Quote
Raslee Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 My Limelight last night, best colour combo and sounded awesome ...the player w as a bit dodgy though Quote

skej21 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Another vote for Olympic white and tort... Here's my Limelight :-) [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/63696245@N07/14784181985/][/url] Edited January 1, 2015 by skej21 Quote
