I quoted some of the specs from this bass to Mark to include in my soon-to-be-here-hopefully P bass. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Nope sorry guys i'm not a fan of the colour plus i just don't like relic'ed basses and those rusting screws would annoy the hell outa me. Looks like the Sandberg might be my way forward. Everyone that's tried one says the necks are excellent. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as pink in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like fat P bass necks then yes, you would find the sandbergs excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I did try a few of them a couple of years ago and the necks were really nice even tho they are a little wider than my Jazz bass. At the end of the day i do have other basses with wider necks and i have no real problems changing over. I also have 5 and 6 string basses but the Jazz is my preferred width but its not a deal breaker provided the Sandberg bass is good quality build like the ones i've already tried. They get great reviews from most everyone. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I've just enquired about having the following made but in fretless and a little less relic. If he can't do fretless then fretted but with blocks and binding. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been able to find a secondhand unlined fretless Fender to my spec anywhere and the fact that Fender don't even make an standard unlined fretless Jazz or Precision limits my options even further. So a Limelight just ticks all the boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least offer an option. It's probably a hang-over of the Jaco Jazz which he stripped the frets out of. But actually putting lines onto an unmarked fretless neck seems moronic to me. I might pick up an affordable used Jazz somewhere and spend on getting an unlined board fitted. btw, am in contact with Mark about a '64 P, Lake Placid...

It was ready at the beginning of August but Mark accidently put a lined board on it So I'm just waiting for it to have the unlined neck fitted. Hopefully any day now.

lou24d53 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks, I was wondering if it was that, but I would've thought the hole would've been directly below the string rather than being offset, but I see it now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I 'need' a lake placid P, and a fretless Jazz, unlined and maybe that mucky white colour with tort plate. (See the CS Jazz for sale on here - that but unlined fretless👍👍👍) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
