ozzy138 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Its with a very heavy heart I'm having to her up for sale but there some circumstances beyond my control..... Ive been a Jazz user since pretty much day one, with a brief interlude with Spector basses but i switched to a P bass full time about 2 years ago..... The bad news is the neck width is killing my left hand... so much so the pain is lasting into the following day after playing...... so i need something with a thinner neck before i damage something permanently... hence the sale... Mark from Limelight built her for me this year and in every other way she is perfect....... She has light/medium relicing, a sanded neck and I've added some mods, namely a KioGon wiring loom, Fender knobs (just to be different) and a DiMarzio Model P pick up..... She sounds huge.... I also added a decal.... which can easily be removed before she goes if its not to your tastes. Comes with the tweed style hardcore and to sweeten the deal even more i have a set of La Bella flats that ill chuck in as well, and also the original pickups.

Powerbas Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 What's the profile of the neck? Any Interest in a [color=#333333][font=DBA_regular,]Gibson Thunderbird Gold 50th. Anniversary[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=DBA_regular,]Best regards[/font][/color]
ozzy138 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 I certainly would be........ As far as the profile, I asked Mark at Limelight guitars to reproduce a 1970's P bass......... I'm assuming it would be identical
Powerbas Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Can you tell me the weight of the bass. I send you a PM Thanks
ozzy138 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 I don't have anything to weigh it on I'm afraid...... And I've PM'd you back
ozzy138 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Pics of the back of the body as requested...... Sticker can be removed if needed before any sale
ozzy138 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Thursday bump..... Not sure if it's my phone but for some reason I can't see the bit about trades...... I'm after a Thunderbird, a Gibson or even a Epiphone Classic........
karlfer Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Off topic, Powerbas, might be an idea to put your Thunderbird up for sale here. OZZY138, that is a most excellent classic looking P with great mods and Mark's attention to detail. Sorely tempted, bet it's great to play. Good luck and bump.
ozzy138 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 She is beautiful to play....... Sadly the neck is a real issue..... A two hour gig on Saturday was a killer on my left hand, I guess the P Bass and me are destined never to get on..... Bank Holiday Bump....... Ps.... If anyone has a Spector laying around doing nothing...........!!!
Marc S Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 It's a shame you have to let this bass go But I know exactly what you mean about the older shaped P necks They are a tad on the chunky side for my tastes too And if thats causing you discomfort & pain, as you say - don't persist, you may end up causing yourself some harm.... Don't know if you've tried the new Squier Classic Vibe basses but they're honestly superb quality, build, comfort & sound And the neck is the far more comfortable "C" profile neck Anyhow, Limelights are fantastic basses and this one looks superb! So GLWTS and look after that hand Cheers Marc
ozzy138 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Marc.... I had one of the classic vibe 50's P basses a while back for a side project I was involved with, the build quality was fantastic.... Sadly, like the side project we drifted apart.......
ozzy138 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Oh well...... I've just been booted out of the band I was in so I'm open to any trades now. What's out there? I can only say no thanks..!
Marc S Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Thinking about your left hand pain; I've had a few Jazz basses, and loved them all As I've said many times my RW is my favourite But what I'm struck by, is the fact that even among Fender J basses Neck dimensions vary, depending on era / model / where built etc MY RW Jazz is ideal for me. I had a 90's USA Jazz, which was slightly chunkier and recently sold a US 70's Re-issue, which had a markedly slimmer neck than either of the others or any US or Mex Jazz I've played since... Might be worth looking out for a 70's reissue, if you'd prefer a really slim neck? Anyhow, Bump again for this fab looking Limelight Someone please buy this, to stop me from looking at it! lol
