knicknack Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Tentatively up for sale as I have a project on the mind! Mark at Limelight has had a good look and we're looking at early 1973 with all original pots/wiring etc. Apparently the pickup was moved back in late '72, and it certainly makes the bass more versatile than the earlier models I've played, a little more Precision in character. 30" scale. A few reversible modifications included to make this bass more gig friendly, this being the Hipshot Supertone bridge allowing for far better intonation/action adjustment, and Ultralite tuners which have alleviated all signs of neck dive. Bridge is a drop in replacement and tuners have been done so that any sign should be covered up by originals, should you wish to refit. Currently fitted with GHS Pressurewounds, but will have D'addario Chrome Flats included. Dunlop Straplocks and a nice wide strap. Reunion Blues semi hollow guitar case which is a good fit and offers a lot of protection. Would much prefer for the bass to be seen in person before sale, am in Bournemouth and happy to meet within reason. Could ship if truly necessary. Edited May 10, 2019 by knicknack 3
3below Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Gorgeous looking bass. The Hipshot tuners on my SG bass combined with grippy strap have sorted any neck dive tendencies.
Paul S Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Couple more questions - do you have the original bridge cover and hardcase? I'm guessing not as they aren't mentioned in your description but thought I'd ask in case
knicknack Posted May 5, 2019 Author Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) @Paul S sadly not! At a guess they’re still somewhere in the 70s... Edited May 5, 2019 by knicknack
knicknack Posted May 5, 2019 Author Posted May 5, 2019 That said I know a few people who might be able to find said things if somebody wanted them... always worth a shot!

knicknack Posted May 6, 2019 Author Posted May 6, 2019 I'll pop a nice big fat leather Maruszczyk strap in with this too. Either with or without Dunlop straplocks.
knicknack Posted June 4, 2019 Author Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Bump as of course I've spotted something on here I like the look of! The bass is currently in Devon with Classic & Cool Guitars (limelight Basses), it can be viewed there or shipped happily. Edited June 4, 2019 by knicknack
