colleya Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) NOW SOLD [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling my fantastic Limelight jazz bass in light relic, rosewood board, Olympic White & tort. Please note this is NOT a Fender bass.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EDIT - trades wise - not a lot really, a decent IEM setup or I might be tempted by a 5 string P bass. [/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Specs are:[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Gotah Vintage Reverse tuners Aged Nitro-cellulose finished neck with Tusq nut, clay dots and hand rolled fingerboard edges Quality vintage bridge CTS pots and Sprague cap Vintage wired Vintage type Pick ups Switchcraft jack Light relic[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight is roughly 4.2 kg using the bathroom scales method.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've had this bass from new (about 18 months). I've had more comments about it than any other bass I've owned, I mean just LOOK at it! [size=1] [/size] The relic job is very good IMHO. I don't know what pickups Mark at classic & cool guitars puts in these things but they're big, fat, deep and generally gorgeous sounding. If I could get a set for my 5 string I would (I've asked, I can't). The neck is a little chunkier than other jazzes I've owned & played but still nice and comfy and the action is low.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So it looks, plays and sounds great, but I'm exclusively playing my 5 string and can't really justify such a good looking ornament. Even so I'm still wavering on whether to sell or not, it's a lovely, lovely thing.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I don't have a hard case to ship in so it's collection from South Manchester or meet up (within reasonable distance) only. Unless you're super keen in which case I could buy a case and ship (within the UK) at buyer's expense. I'd much rather you got the chance to try it first though.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers,[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Andy[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] Edited November 2, 2016 by colleya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Is Gotah meant to be Gotoh? I noticed Mark's spelling too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colleya Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Cheers Tom, Missed that, I assume it is meant to be Gotoh as I've never heard of Gotah. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
