Limelight Fender Jazz style bass SOLD SOLD £850

[KingPrawn]

Hello All

I bought this from BC very recently. It's a stunning bass and when I saw it I had to have it. However, it was an impulse buy and I'm not using it, My 75 remains king.As you can see from the pictures it has been given a good going over by the limelight team and it just looks fab. Loads of tone nice neck and plays really well. 

Weight 9lb on the nose.

Not really looking for trades. 

Comes with a soft case. More than happy to post (Fully insured). Also happy to meet up locally to Birmingham.

£750  inc Postage

I was the original buyer, this is a really nice bass

Bit confused, is it a fender or a Limelight?  Looks like a regular Limelight to me not a fender but title suggests it's a Fender that has been modified by Limelight. Either way it's lovely.

It's a Limelight.

Thanks You right. It’s a limelight. I’ll amend the title. Cheers

Why's it got a Fender logo - surely Limelight would be more honest (and worth more)?

Limelight basses did come with Fender logos if the buyer requested it. Ask Mark at Classic and Cool guitars for the current position regarding this. It has the Limelight serial number on the back. They are excellent basses but I have no idea why you think a Limelight logo'd bass would be worth more than an original pre-cbs Fender.

I asked Mark to put a fender decal on when I bought it. It isnt the same as a real stack knob so with the limelight sno on the back and the variation from standard theres no possibilities of passing off.

And yes I am that shallow sometimes.

I would have done exactly the same. Why go to all the trouble of making it look exactly like a vintage Fender and then miss out a vital feature like the decal on the headstock.This is a cracking bass. Mark is superb at producing these instruments for ordinary mortals who want the look and sound but can’t afford genuine prices.

It's Xmas - Kidneys would have taken a bit of a beating over the festive period - you should be able to find a buyer..

I didn't say that a Limelight would be worth more than a genuine Fender; I said that a Limelight presented as itself would be worth more than an illegal fake "Fender".

Personally, I would delete your last comment.

I would also PM Prowla to ask him to remove his provocative comments. If he fails to do so, ask the Mods to do it.

My comment will be removed in a couple of hours.

Fine basses Limelight, fitting tributes to the Fenders most of us can't afford.

Thanks, advice was taken. My poor attempt at lightning the mood.

[Steve Browning]

Great basses. I'm relieved Mark doesn't do sunburst although the thought of a nice (lightweight) mocha Precision with a rosewood board is seriously tempting.

[KingPrawn]

Go on Steve. You know you deserve it. 

[Harryburke14]

It's local and I'm sure it sounds good, so tempted. Only thing letting it down is the colour - Claret is not welcome in this Royal Blue home 😂

[KingPrawn]

That’s passion. When your footy team comes before your bass choice. 😀

[Harryburke14]

Someone has to love the Blues, we're difficult to love these days 😅
