vincbt Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) The thinning of the herd continues... Selling my Limelight Precision in Olympic White over Candy Apple Red, with Precision neck (42m nut width). I bought this from Mark at Classic & Cool Guitars in 2021, but I need to sell it to finance a recent purchase. It had some small adjustments done as you can read below but it plays a dream now. Specs as follows, including some changes. 1963 Precision Bass Specs Olympic White over Candy Apple Red with silver base coat Medium/heavy relic Rosewood P width neck with Clay dots Tortoiseshell scratchplate -> I have replaced the original scratchplate with a Fender vintage series (darker) one. In the process, I realised there was a small issue with the earthing / shielding. The bass has been looked at by Joseph Kaye who went through earthing and shielding again. He also added a small shim which could probably be done without. Both scratchplates are included in the sale All metal work just lightly tarnished -> When I tried to lower the action recently, I realised the grub screws were completely stuck. I tried to fix them but I broke two in the process. I decided to replace the entire bridge with a Gotoh VTB-4 Aged Chrome bridge, it still looks aged but everything moves freely now. The original bridge is included in the sale. Gotoh Reverse Resolite Tuners Strap button on reverse of headstock Alder body Alnico pick ups Vintage wired CTS pots and Spraque cap Switchcraft Jack Thumb rest below strings Weight is 8.3lb / 3.7kg on Mark's scale. The bass comes with a tweed hard case and it's currently strung with LaBella 760FL DT flats. Please note I am based in France. I strongly prefer collection but can also look into shipping within the EU. Given my Fender is being sold to the UK and I only have two hands, for the time being no UK sales on this one. Price is EUR 1,150 (GBP950) Price is EUR 1,050 (GBP900) Note - the first two photos show the current scratchplate, the rest the original one Edited May 13, 2022 by vincbt on hold 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunk Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Is it still not open to UK buyers or has that changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincbt Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Good question. The Fender went last week so in theory this could now come on my next trip to London for a collection there. I don’t have a date at this stage, but may be able to squeeze a trip in May or else in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincbt Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 The neck is an Allparts (10’ radius I think) but I can measure it when I get back home next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
