Not sure on my terminology with respect to 'checking'. If you mean the sort of 'thermal shock' induced laquer cracking then my Limelight doesn't have it. The paint ion my heavy relic more sort of thin nitro satin, no thickish gloss top coat to check.

I don't know man. Like you said they look great from a distance but I think they do look relic'd rather than old if you put them under too much close up scrutiny. Having said that mine are relatively early versions and each new one I see coming through here seems to get better and better. The second one I bought was Def a level up from the first in terms of the relic job.

Anyway I wasnt interested in a worn bass when I bought my first one, I just wanted a great bass for a decent price in colours I could choose, I would have had it worn or not but I love it now. And I did go on to buy another.

Hi guys, haven't been able to see from online pics but just wondering if these limelight basses have authentic looking checking in the relic finish? They look great from a distance!
Thanks

Check out MJT Guitars for authentic looking checking, know they are US based but, they look to be far and away the best in the biz currently!

I have two MJT Strats and the finish checking is unbelievable. The guitars just feel old too.
