I started out with Fender due to some sort of internal bias but I may end up taking a trip to the Gallery and trying all the Ps they have to get a better feel Of course being a total PED, Fender Japan was a ghost company for a number of Japanese factories. So buying a Japanese Fender is not really buying a Fender. In my opinion you could do worse than try a G&L. 1 Quote
sblueplanet Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 The best 2 Fenders I have owned have both been Japanese. A 1987 MIJ '62 Jazz bass which was super light and a 2010 CIJ '57 P bass which had a wonderful neck. 2 Quote
vincbt Posted November 23, 2021 Author Posted November 23, 2021 4 months later, I can close the loop and thank everyone who chipped in with advice! Mark just sent the infamous wooden floor shots and all being well I’ll get to play this beauty this week. 5 Quote
Jason Karloff Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Easy question. Limelight. Ah you already did. 😝 1 Quote
Ander87 Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the club @vincbt, that is a lovely looking bass! Here's my 3 Limelight P's with J necks: The purple goes on a Nordy P blade for dirty stuff, the White on an NP4V for the vintage tones, and charcoal grey on an NP4A for bright and punchy. Yours reminds me of one.... Edited November 23, 2021 by Ander87 1 Quote

Yours reminds me of one.... Wow I'm not quite there yet! This is definitely taking the vintage tone while the American Standard will wear the bright and punchy hat, just need to transfer the LaBella on the Limelight and put roundwounds on the Fender. The charcoal grey one was on sale here just last week right? Quote
