Veils Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I guess this isn't technically a NBD...........still waiting for Mark to send this out to me. But I went to my email this morning, just about to send Mark a note to tell him I was paying the rest of my outstanding balance. Low and behold, there's an email waiting for me telling me my bass is done! Wasn't expecting it for a few weeks yet Anyway, I went for a 60's base spec. Asked him to replicate the shade of green from the Mexican flag (Mark tells me that the photos aren't totally representative of the colour - the green in question is a bit darker), originally I went for heavy relic, then asked him to reign it in a bit. Have to be honest, it looks stunning and I just can't wait to get my hands on it now!!

Subbeh Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 It really is, very few people seem to be able to relic a bass as well as this guy. Also blocked and bound neck, stack knob controls, matching headstock, Jazz basses don't get any better looking than that! Quote
UglyDog Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) That is gorgeous. He does block'n'bound necks now?? Oh help. This is as close as I'm [i]ever[/i] going to get to a YoB Jazz unless my numbers come up or I sell the house from under us, and my holy zarquon it is sooooo tempting.

[/quote] Block and bound was something like 120 quid extra, the whole thing came in around 1150. Matching headstock is an extra cost. I've got a hankering for a YoB instrument too, but I'm leaning towards a guitar for that. My year is '83 so I'm guessing, with all respect Sir , from your post that yours is perhaps a more expensive year? I'm dying to know what a zarquon is Quote
Byo Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Wow, that looks amazing! I'm currently talking to Mark for a Limelight P-Bass with a J neck. Lovely relicing on this one too. Mark seems to nail it all the time. Enjoy and let us know how it feels when you finally get it! Quote
wateroftyne Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Lovely. Nice amount of relic'ing, there... Quote
CamdenRob Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Lovely unique colour there... I do think these limelights represent good value. Quote
