knicknack Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Limelight 70s Jazz in smoke stained white with Blocks & Binding, both black and tortoiseshell scratchplate and a tweed case. Will have vintage strap buttons rather than straplocks. My recent Precisions from him have got me very covered for the moment! I'm sure I could post, please ask! Based in Exeter but all over the shop over the next few weeks. No trades unless a nice 5 string P/J shows up...

adamlunt Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 That looks fantastic. I’d have to put a badass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, Fender sells nowadays very cheap, but good "badass" of their own: https://www.thomann.de/fi/fender_hi_mass_bridge_iv_brass.htm?ref=search_prv_5 I've one installed on my limelight '63 jazz and really like it Also have one waiting to be installed on my Limelight '62 Precision. Knicknack has really tempting jazz. I've bad fixation on matched headstocks, but with this one I could make an exception. Let me know if you are willing to ship your jazz abroad(Finland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommorichards Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 My one tiny buggear about it is no 3 point neck plate, but that came out as a solution to poor production, so i guess this wont need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Beautiful bass, i love the way some of these limelight’s look, I’d have to put some proper Tort on it though 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knicknack Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 @Creeper Weirdly I put a proper darker plate on this when I got it, and it really didn't look right for the era! Going back through pictures of the originals it seems Mark got it right (again... I've questioned things with him before and as it turns out when it comes to vintage-correctness he's always right!)
