Having acquired an ‘88 Thumb after going through several more modern iterations I can only echo what’s already been said, these are worth the money and the neck is a joy to play.

The neck is an Allparts (10’ radius I think) but I can measure it when I get back home next week

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.

Back on due to a timewaster who didn't turn up... (not a BCer, from another forum)

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

Now on hold

Why not get a third to replace the trio of Limelights

A bit gutted to sell this, but I just bought a 71 P that needs financing and 3 Precisions are a bit too much, so this one has to go. Not much to say I think, it's a 2013 American Standard Precision, the series is very well regarded and it comes with the stock Custom Shop pickup (from what I can tell, it's the CS62 but please correct me if I'm wrong). The bass is in great condition, it only has one ding and one-two scratches as shown in the photos. Nut width is 41mm, action around 2-2.5m at the 17th fret and it weighs 3.9kg on the bathroom scale It comes with original hard case as well as case candy, mostly untouched. The case has a couple of scratches shown in the photos. I also include the original white scratchplate, the one currently on is a Fender replacement. Please note I am based in France. I prefer collection or I can look into shipping within the EU. Sale in the UK is in theory possible as I travel back to London regularly (once every 1-2 months) but it would need to be done as collection when I am there. Price is EUR 1,150 (GBP950)
