pajhartley Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I'm reluctantly selling my Limelight Jazz Bass, serial 00201, as I have another couple of jazzes & this is rather surplus to requirements. This is a lovely example of Mark's work down at Cool & Classic guitars, a take in looks on a '75 but to me it feels more like a '62. Lovely to play, typical jazz sounds (the maple board making it sound edgier than my rosewoods) & it looks great with the matching headstock & tort scratchplate. At present it's got a Babicz bridge on it (I put these on all my basses), which I think looks great as a contrast to the lightly-reliced body, but I can put the original back on if required; I'll include it anyway. It also has Schaller straplocks on it, again I can put the originals on if required. Another nice thing, for me, is that the matching headstock has the Limelight logo instead of the usual Fender logo - I love Mark's basses (I've had 4) so I think this adds to rather than detracts from the overall look. Collection from Bournemouth. I'd prefer not to have to post/courier, but try me (postage at purchaser's expense). I'm willing to drive for a fair distance (up to 150 miles) to deliver, for a fuel contribution agreed before I travel. Thanks for looking! Edited August 9, 2020 by pajhartley 17

Kirky Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 That's lovely. I've got 0202 ('63 red fretless jazz).

Excellent - I used to have 00103 ('59 Precision) & 00105 ('62 Jazz), I regret selling both but you can only have so many!! But I'm keeping 00135, a '60 jazz in Burgundy. Beautiful! 2

I don't know exactly, no scales, sadly, but it's on the heavy side of a jazz, weighs similar to my '79 Precision, if that's any help? Not as heavy as a Sire Marcus Miller, but significantly heavier than my Maruszczyk Elwood. Sorry I can't be more exact on this!

therasonic450 Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Am really interested in the bass but need a reasonably accurate weight. Have been in touch with Mark at Limelight but he hasn't got a note of the weight. Any chance you can get hold of some scales & get a figure? Cheers
pajhartley Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Hi - the weight is 9.2 lbs on a pretty accurate set of electronic scales. Sorry about the delay, moving house over the last couple of days! Pete Edited July 29, 2020 by pajhartley Apology
Aero71 Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Beautiful bass, but is the colour of the headstock different than the body?

Good spot - I think it's the same basic colour, but the body's been aged so the cover is thinner, so the headstock looks "more" green, as it were. But yes, they are slightly different shades.

therasonic450 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Hi Did see it but have not had time to organize getting down to see it. Will be in touch.
