Not quite sure how to describe this bass, but I suppose the best description would be

" similar in concept to a '62 replica Limelite  "

Built by a guy named Alan Knight, known more for his distressed guitar replica's, but he sure knows how to build a winner . It simply play's itself , sounds great, and for the benefit of those ( of us ) with a bad back, really light and well balanced. You do have to be into " heavy relic" to appreciate it's looks, but this is the bass that first made me realise that distressed and relic'd can look good. It's Worth noting that the Fender logo on the headstock is for effect, this is not a Fender product. I have no info on the pickups, just know they sound good. Best to check over the pics for any further info. Collection only from Worthing or Chichester, and no trades, thank you.

Lovely looking relic'd Jazz.

Do you know much about the construction process - is it assembled from parts and then relic'd or does Alan luthier any of parts himself?

I think with limelights the body's are made but they use allparts necks?

HI Sunfish,

Apologies for late reply . Circa 8 pounds.

However, I've decided it would be a mistake to sell it, so have withdrawn .

Yup. I guess it's a try and find another like it sort of instrument.

Hope you're well Mike ?

Hi Jotto

Yes , Thanks , I'm well,

You've absolutely nailed it, bloody thing almost plays itself, sounds great, and weighs nothing, what was I thinking ?

best wishes,

mike

Muddling Along.

The trace 18" cab from you on a little floor 2.5 foot tall isolator platform that I knocked up (neighbours). My home practice favourite with my CTM30.

The Audere preamp is going great guns in a now nicely tidied up KSD J605 left handed. Does a really nice jazz thing with black tapewounds. Suspect one of the pick-ups is a bit fritzed so may hunt out some substitutes.

When I win the lottery tomorrow I'll be after some Trace valvey stuff better get a ticket.

Doubtless this thread'zll be locked shortly have a good evng Mike
