Well, I asked Mark to put a period correct (1963) logo on it. Theu usually come with a LImelight logo. Its basically a replica, but it has the limelight serial number on the back of the headstock. It would however, be illegal for me to sell this as a genuine Fender.

No. FM formed in 1967. 5 years after The beatles debut single Love Me Do. Which apparently got to #17 in the charts after Brian Epstein bought 400 boxes of it.

My Precision was £956 plus £20 P&P

Here are some more pics of my lovely Limelight No. 00230 😊

I was quoted 12 weeks but due to two or three builds awaiting various parts etc, mine jumped the queue. Apologies to anyone waiting for their limelight builds. 😊

Cheers guys. The lighter blue is closer to the real colour according to Mark, so until I see it in real life I shouldnt really comment on the pickguard as the light on the pics can give a false impression.

And here it is folks! What do you think? I wouldnt have minded a little more green on the aged pickguard, but I,m chuffed. Unfortunately, he wants his money now.😫

Look at him!! - The smug, grinning Neofacist! 😡

Julio Inglasias - Neofacist? 😂

Lenny Kravitz always goes down well when we do it.

I quite like the Aussie bloke. Luke from become a bassist. He is my go to you tuber these days. SBL is all shaky camera work and waffle IMHO.

The key factor is the pole pieces and how they affect the attack of the note. The single coil has one pole per string. The split coil has two. The single pole reads the string quite differently from the two poles. Leo Fender designed the dual pole pickup to soften the the attack based on experiences with the single poles trashing speakers in his bass amps.

This interview? Its a good read. 👍 https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2019/03/28/no-control-an-interview-with-suzi-quatro/

I got some Warwick Reds from Gear4music recently. A bargain price and next day dispatch. I sometimes use the tax dodgers too, but the prices seem to creeping up as does the P&P

It wasnt that long ago when the Bass Doc was much revered and respected on here. What happened?

He does say though, that the photo is not an accurate colour match. Its not as pink in real life.

Cool. I quoted some of the specs from this bass to Mark to include in my soon-to-be-here-hopefully P bass. 👍

This one? https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight-00224-pino-p/

Discreet had this 63 P bass in Dakota Red made with a very light relic and very thick paint. I owned it for a while.

LPB MIM Standard. Bought this time last year from Thomann. This is one of the last Mexican Standards made, before they dropped the range. Incidentally, this is the only maple boarded bass I own.

Newton Abbot 😊

Sorry. It was supposed to be a reply to Bassman sam and Lou24's conversation about building one unreliced. I was trying to say that he does not as he is trying to simulate a vintage look.
