Noisyjon Posted Monday at 14:08 Posted Monday at 14:08 There's no '51 style basses in the sold gallery: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/limelight-custom-gallery/ Quote
Jack Posted Monday at 14:20 Posted Monday at 14:20 The number is 012 but the build date is given as 2020. Limelight has been going for way longer than that, lending credence to the idea that it's not genuine. Quote

Jack Posted yesterday at 07:31 Posted yesterday at 07:31 Fake Limelight. Despite the logo it didn't actually say "this is a Fender bass" anywhere, it was being sold as a Limelight, which I don't think it was. If I'm wrong then great, I hope it goes back up. I just don't want some poor schmuck being scammed, which for all we know is how the current owner got it anyway, they might not be evil themselves. You only get like 100 characters so my message said something like "not a limelight, handwriting wrong, serial # and build date implausible". Quote

You only get like 100 characters so my message said something like "not a limelight, handwriting wrong, serial # and build date implausible". The pictures form part of the description and the logo says "this is a Fender bass"; you can't sell a fake Fender by saying "this is not a Fender" or just not mentioning it at all. So, it was neither a Limelight nor a Fender, but had branding for both. (Another group goes so far as to say they won't even allow sale of parts instruments with genuine Fender necks on them.) Quote
Jack Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Indeed, but it is my understanding that some (most?) Limelights do have Fender logos on them, and as you have mentioned necks and stuff get swapped all the time with FSOs. It's murky, isn't it? Again there was a really tight character limit and the Limelight-fakery seemed more obvious and egregious than the Fender-fakery. To me at least. 2 Quote
