pbasspecial Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm so tempted myself but think the missus won't be too pleased as my living room is already starting to resemble a music shop. Wonder if I can pull the 'what this old bass, had it for years, don't you remember?' Like they do with new shoes/bags/dresses, etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the look of this bass, and am sorely tempted even though I'm not a fan of the older P bass neck dimensions Limelights are awesome basses and this one is one of the best looking ones I've seen Why is it still here? Could I sneak it past Mrs S? - hmm, too distinctive... maybe I could convince her I found it, abandoned by the roadside, or an old lady found it in her attic, not knowing its' worth she sold it to me for a tenner.... and it is a vintage instrument, and worth a fortune Hmm, one drawback there - Mrs S would want me to give the non-existent old lady some more cash..... hmmm BTW - have a free bump, so someone can buy this bass, and stop tempting me Edited August 19, 2015 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peety Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thanks for that Marc i can only assume the market is really slow at the moment or maybe the level of relicing is putting some people off !!! It is a really good bass am beginning to think i may just keep it !!! Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassintheface Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 That's a lot of bass for the money to be fair. Good luck with the sale. Things do seem to be a little slow - I'm thinking of not selling a couple of things now too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Steve [/quote] TBH Peety, I've played 2 Limelights and loved them both I really regret passing up the opportunity to buy the one of them too! If you don't get a decent offer, soon - I'd consider keeping it If it plays & sounds anything like the others I've come across, it's one hell of a bass Yes, there are folks out there who don't like relicing (I wasn't a particularly a fan myself in the past) but those in the know, will appreciate the quality of this bass I've got a few things for sale ATM Including a really nice David Gage DB, the like of which you rarely see in the UK It's at a really fair price IMO (In fact the case alone would cost around half what I'm asking, when you factor in shipping & customs) But as has been said before, there are a lot of great quality instruments out there for sale second-hand currently .... and some of them are going for silly low prices..... GLWTS anyhow Someone will buy it, and get a fab bass..... Edited August 20, 2015 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
