steviebee74 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Congratulations on a great-looking bass. I am really feeling the love for my own Limelight at the moment! [/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]It was sold to me as a ’63 replica but I think the neck profile is more like a ’59 as it’s quite big & chunky. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]It’s now got brass saddles and has had chrome bridge/pickup covers added. It’s also currently strung with LaBella flats and sounds nothing short of monstrous (in a smooth kind of way).

Went for purple just to mix it up a bit I thought i'd use it with tone rolled fully on, or fully off. But i like a mix of both, which i was quite surprised at!! Is yours a J profile neck? If so, do you know what it measures at the nut? Quote
steviebee74 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Hi, it is definitely a big, full-fat Precision-Style neck. I also use a variation of tones but tend to use volume "just back" from fully on and tone "just forward" from fully off! Will happily measure the nut width for you later when I'm home. Quote
Christian Houmann Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I dig it! I think no one other than us geeks will know that Fender didn't do that cool in the early 70's. I do love mine but always tends to use my rosewood one since it have more a jazz profil neck. Quote
