NBD - Limelight Precision/Jazz/Stingray frankenstein build


Recommended Posts

Posted

Not strictly right, it was new a month ago but I've only just got around to getting the pics up here...

Precision body
Jazz neck, reverse headstock
Double MusicMan humbuckers
Black over white nitro relic finish
Fender logo on headstock (primarliy to annoy a few of my purist friends) :D

Its not Mark's normal retro replica build, but its what I wanted. Its a beast, its passive and is stupidly powerful!

Lovin that Steve, congrats fella :i-m_so_happy:, bet that's a real powerhouse.

I had an upside down headstock, freaked me out. Using furthest tuning peg, attempting to tune to G when of course it should be E :lol:

But there again I'm an old confused fool :blush:

Mine is very much a test bed for messing about. It's currently on version 4 of it's electronics.
It did have a DOD 250 clone built into it at one point.

But your bass is a beaut!!

Be interesting to know how the bass plays strung as BEAD with the longer string length on the lower strings.

The speaking length of the string is no different and neither is the string tension so it will make no difference whatsoever...

I thought the same of yours to be honest. Love the pickup config! Kinda wish I'd gone that way.

This thread has (to me) some of the coolest basses I've seen on this forum. Clarky72 that looks killer. I love Mark's work and that looks like is should be awesome.
