Actually I think I may have posted two pics of Frosty there.. very hard to spot the differences on my phone screen!! 😬

The Olympic white one came from another BC’er Brian.. the Black one and the Charcoal Frost one I ordered to my spec and the White over Candy Apple Red one Mark had made as a ‘stock’ bass and I snapped it up.. All play differently although the black and Frost ones are my main basses and were intentionally made to feel almost identical so I could swap between them (Frosty is tuned BEAD).

I would recommend the lightweight tuner option but even the standard build is superb with no upgrades. You get full choice of colour and can decide on the level of relic’ing included in the base price. I now own four of them and each is superb and unique.

No fives but P or J bodies with either P or J width neck and many pickup configurations.. P, J or MM or combinations of..

Give Mark a shout and you’ll be pleasantly surprised... if you’ve been drooling over Fender custom shop stuff at £3-5,000 or even Bill Nash stuff at £2-2,500 you’ll be really really pleasantly surprised. His stuff if top notch and lovely to play. Obviously you can spec things up with lightweight tuners etc but honestly the basic spec from him is excellent and of course the colour and level of relic and neck width etc is all down to you, so it’s custom built.. drop him a line, he’s very happy to discuss.

Not a matched headstock on this one... but I do like those..

Floyd Pepper... pic when it arrives? 👍🏻

Wateroftyne I’ll put up a pic when it arrives... watched your video before I ordered.. 👍🏻 Thanks for putting it up, it really helped me make up my mind before ordering.

Only about 12 weeks Reggaebass.. I was quite lucky as Mark quotes 12-16 usually.. it’s the first bass I’ve bought without actually seeing it first and I could not be happier.. he builds great basses.. I ordered two, the second will be tuned BEAD.. can’t wait to get that one..

My new Black and Rosewood P has arrived! Utterly stunning and sounds exactly like you think just from looking at it..! I don’t know how Mark does it but he does! I have a charcoal frost P also on order.. watch this space....

Thanks Reggaebass.. it’s a long wait.. I recently sold my 1959 Precision after 20yrs of ownership and have asked Mark to replicate it.. although I took the opportunity to ‘refin’ to black as mine had a stripped finish for all the time I had it.. I spoke to him on the phone and exchanged many emails so I’m confident it’ll be great.. have you decided to spend your cash on something you can get your hands on sooner or pick up a used Limelight? I see they come up occasionally on here?

Hi Guys, New to the site, but wanted to read this particular thread especially as I've just ordered a Limelight P from Mark about two weeks ago. It's going to be a long 16 weeks to wait and I'm excited. In fact it was Mark that directed me here to get a bit more insight. Am loving the pics and video's (do people still call them video's?... I do as I'm old).. looking forward to reading through.

Thanks guys... might have to sneak back to the For Sale's and have a closer look..!

Hi All... New member here, thanks for accepting me.. Obviously during this Corona virus situation the most important thing is for us all to stay safe.... but, does anyone know if any of the courier companies are still running a service? I've been browsing the (can I say excellent) 'For Sale' section here whilst stuck at home and a few things have caught my eye but as buying a new bass is (arguably) non essential I did wonder whether I'd be able to get it delivered? Thanks all in advance and looking forward to getting myself up to speed on some of the other topics on here. Dunk
