Derek1071 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Limelight P for sale - reliced, fiesta red, tort pick guard. I bought this from MattM a few months ago, but unfortunately I think I'm too used to J basses and can't get on with the chunkiness of the neck profile. Lovely looking bass though, and sounds fantastic too. Alder body, slab rosewood board, clay dots, rolled fingerboard edges, reverse tuners, late 60s/early 70s logo. Hand wound pickup with CTS pots, switchcraft jack. Nut width just under 40mm, weight approx 9lbs. Comes with decent quality gig bag - price is £725. Would much prefer local collection or meet up in the Scottish central belt, but will consider (UK only) shipping. Also will consider trades - ultimately I'm after a p sound with a jazz-type neck (like a lot of people!), so feel free to try me.

Marc S Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I spotted this for sale, just too late, when Matt originally advertised it Kicked myself at the time - so I ordered my own version Limelight basses are lovely - this shouldn't be around for too long (it, and a similar one went quickly last time) GLWTS PS. 40mm doesn't sound too wide for a Precision neck - or is this one quite deep too?

Derek1071 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Cheers Marc. Yes, the neck width is fine for me - it’s just a bit deep for my tastes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 This is a lovely, lovely bass. Only sold it on as I had an option on an ultra lightweight USA P which I figured would be easier for my young son to learn on. The Limelight has got a great range of sound, and as Derek says a slim (for a P)) neck width - similar to the B widths that were around in late 60s/early 70s like Nate Mendel's P is modelled on but quite deep. Found it a wee bit different moving to the shallow modern C profile on my USA P but getting used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed Marc, it's exactly between the Fender A (38mm) and B (42mm) neck. I did drool a little when I saw this but then realised the nut would be too small for me. But, it'll be a superb Bass for someone, and like has already been said, won't be around for long, get it while it's hot folks!
