Limelight Precision - PENDING - *SOLD* £850 Whittlebury South Northamptonshire

[mrtcat]

Absolutely bloody lovely Limelight Precision.

 

This is not a Fender bass!!!

 

I had this made back in 2016 to be a replica of a 1976 Fender Precision. With an ash body, maple neck, overwound pickups (hand wound by Mark at Limelight), period correct headstock logo and the lightest relic finish. The bass has done probably 200 function gigs and that has really given the nitro finish a much more naturally worn look that the more heavily relic'd basses struggle to emulate. Weighing in at 3.9kg (8lb 9oz) this is a really comfortable bass to gig with and it's like putting on a nice old pair of slippers when you pick it up. The output is really strong and has the classic p-bass sound.  

 

Currently strung with a relatively new set of Elixirs but I could change these for an old set of fender flats (with tatty silk) if preferred. 

 

Why am I selling? I really really want to be a p-bass guy but i just always end up gravitating back towards Jazz basses. 

 

Trade Options!!! Jazz basses only please. I'd definitely be really interested in a Limelight Jazz. I absolutely love the build quality and they just work for me. I'd also happily consider a Japanese Jazz or a USA Jazz with apropriate cash adjustment. Ideally though I'd want either of these with rosewood or maple board and blocks.

 

Price for a straight sale is firm at £850. I think this is fair and I'm in absolutely no rush to sell as this is still great to have around.

 

You are absolutely welcome to come and play this without any obligation to buy. I have some nice amps and make good tea / coffee and there's always biscuits in the tin. I will package it up for postage but that would be for a courier that the buyer has arranged and the buyer takes this option at his or her own risk. I gig lots so am regularly travelling around the country and am more than happy to meet up en route to a gig.

 

Thanks for looking!

That is amazing, really nails the 70s Precision sound, sadly I’m short scale from now on otherwise this would be chez Lozz!

If I'm not mistaken, I had the pleasure of hearing this very bass in action at my charity's Gala Ball in Bedford last March... 

 

Excellent band, fab bass playing too and a very cool looking and great sounding bass! 

 

GLWTS 👍😊

I own 00236 (based on John Deacons Live Aid bass) - bought on this very forum just before my health went down the drain. They are fantastic basses. Will have to bite the bullet and let mine go one day because I heavily doubt I’ll get to play it in anger again 🫤. GLWTS.
