karlfer Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Regretful sale. Edited February 9, 2015 by karlfer
discreet Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Didn't think you'd let this one go, Karl! Now, if it had a nice mint pickguard fitted... Actually it looks a [i]very [/i]light relic, for a Limelight. Edited January 20, 2015 by discreet
tom1946 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I can't buy it for the same reason you're selling it Karl m' boy, maple boards rule! Good luck with the sale, shouldn't hang about.
Brams77 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 What a lovely looking bass!!, I never liked the sea foam much... but with a matching headstock and a tort guard I'm totally loving it!!
Marc S Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I just love the look of Marks Limelight basses This one looks the bees knees too Something about that colour, reliced, and with the tort scratchplate... .... stunning Sadly, I really don't need another Jazz Or I'd be severely tempted by this beauty I know you prefer maple fretboards, but it sounds like you love this bass Are you really sure you want to part with it? Honestly, I'd think twice.... Anyhow, if you're sure - GLWTS .... and get another Limelight - with maple
cameltoe Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 A lot of these being ordered, but a lot coming back up for sale? I love the look of them. Perfect attention to detail.

JapanAxe Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 That is one sweet looking bass! Good job I don't get on with Jazzes. GLWTS
bumnote Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1421878663' post='2666245'] Every night I kick myself for ordering rosewood board. [/quote] Why dont you ask Mark if he can swap the neck? I got mine in the summer last year and its going nowhere

I got mine in the summer last year and its going nowhere [/quote] Same goes for me! I really thought carefully about nine and it turned out perfectly. It'll be the last thing to go as I use it for EVERYTHING. It plays like a total dream and always gets compliments :-)
three Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I foolishly put mine up for sale around a month ago - I'm moving and thought I'd reduce the bulk, plus I play short scale most of the time. A stupid idea and I returned to my senses - in some measure as a result of posts and PMs on here. I played the L this morning and maintain its the best Fender type bass I've owned (and that's loads with some very expensive super boutiques in there). Don't be fooled by some extremely reasonable prices! And bump...looking forward to seeing a burgundy P with maple neck on here.

I got mine in the summer last year and its going nowhere [/quote] Another in agreement here Karlfer Mark seems such a reasonable guy to deal with, I'm sure he'd do any mods for you Also, I don't know how he achieves that fantastic finish on the necks he fits - they really do feel aged & worn-in Maybe he'd offer you a refund / part-ex on your old neck? Or maybe someone else would buy the neck from you? I can't believe just how good Limelights are.... Edited January 22, 2015 by Marc S
njr911 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm very tempted but I'd need to put a white scratchplate on it I think.
Dazed Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Another fan here. I was lucky I guess, I bought one that had been specced by someone else, turns out it was probably what I should have chosen if I had custom ordered myself but very unlikely I would've picked a p body. I think the maple jazz neck is a perfect combo for a precision. If any of you are in the north west you're welcome me to try it out. ( but it won't be leaving anytime soon ) GLWTS Karl. They dont seem to stick around long.
chrisanthony1211 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) There's a couple of sea foam / surf jazz's on basschat at the moment, and I still can't figure out if I absolutely love it or hate the colour... :-/ It's not a colour I would ever have chosen, but it appears to be growing on me... Edited January 22, 2015 by chrisanthony1211
cameltoe Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1421878663' post='2666245'] Sea Foam Green does not look right on a P. It is the law. [/quote] Too true!! It's too dark. Surf green on the other hand, or Daphne Blue for that matter, look great! I am such a fan of those colours, but recently I've started to worry I'll look like i'm in a Blink182 tribute band if I buy one. Hell yeah. Limelight me up!
tom1946 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Karl, for some reason the link in post three goes to my Photobucket?? I thought my MX5 looked familiar
CH161 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 The Limelight looks great Karl - the clay dots look great on the rosewood board.

LemonCello Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Karl, I'm loving my '63 P Limelight in BG heavy relic. Acoustically, it is the most resonant bass I've ever played, seriously resonant in fact! Mark's work is top banana, pity I don't get on with Jazz necks or I'd have this off you!
discreet Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1422096547' post='2668611'] Burgundy P, Maple boarded jazz neck. [/quote] What colour pickguard are you thinking of with that, Karl? [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1422096547' post='2668611'] He will then put this one up for sale at £800 [/quote] I'm guessing ...a little more than that.
