Wow, I actually own a 64 and I have to say that’s a wonderful job!

Oh you lucky bugger...........................Is it that sinful to covet another man's bass?

that's really nice of you to say, thank you

Can't stop looking at this, it's beautiful. Read through the build diary earlier too, fabulous attention to detail. Do you do commissions?!

Looks just like the Limelight I bought recently. You would be hard pushed to tell them apart!

That looks beautiful, enjoy!

Brilliant job. Love the relicing - looks genuine and realistic -steers away from the all too common 'had a fight with a belt sander' look.

Thank you kindly booboo, that's exactly what I was hoping to avoid, I am glad I didn't get carried away

D'you know what, if I were going to buy a P, or any similar bass...that's pretty much exactly how I would want it to look.

Nicely done, sir!

[Marc S]

Wow! Just wow, and well done sir  This looks amazing. I have to say, I like the colour too - and somehow, it's a colour that improves with a bit of ageing... I don't quite know why I feel that way, but to me, it just does - as does the colour of the scratchplate. Great job on the ageing and colours

I wasn't a fan of Roadworn / relicing of basses... until I got a Fender Roadworn Jazz. I now have a RW Jazz and a Limelight P, and they are both superb basses.
This does look as good as a Limelight I recently saw for sale in the same colour.

One positive advantage of a Roadworn / Reliced bass, is that you're not quite so precious about them getting a little knock or ding at a gig (not that I purposely look to do that, of course)

I think you could maybe consider doing custom basses, for those of us old enough to not be able to afford a YOB bass

[wateroftyne]

Fantastic.. well done.

[Soledad]

Amazing attention to detail, particularly under the skin. Check this out, Limelight  👍

[4000]

And that is exactly how a P should look. You should go into business!
