Up for sale is my Limelight '57' Precision. The colour is faded Candy Apple Red as appropriate to a '57' which has been around for sixty years. This is the lightest relic job that Limelight has done and it is extremely pretty. All hardware is age appropriate with the pickups being wound by Limelight themselves to replicate a '57' sound. A bonus with this sale is a G&G Fender tweed case which is in excellent condition. The bass is strung with a new set of Thomastik TI flatwounds. This bass plays and sounds superb and will make someone very happy. I offered this bass for sale a couple of months ago but then withdrew it as it was pointed out to me that the neck could do with a tweak to bring it into alignment. That has now been done and so the bass is up for sale again. Price includes shipping to UK mainland. Trades considered.

I was indeed the previous and original owner of this SUB4 and it is a very nice example. There are always a few basses that we regret selling and this is one of mine. I've just purchased a bass otherwise I would be very sorely tempted.

Are you absolutely certain that these are Seymour Duncan pups? They look awfully like Dimarzio P & J pups.

That is a truly cracking bass. If I can find a way to finance a purchase I shall be in touch.

Great period of building at Fender. I just love 82-85 Fenders. Beautiful bass at a knock down price!

I’m just going to withdraw this. Maybe the alignment does need a wee tweak, I just play the damn thing and it’s fine. However, now that doubt has been cast on the neck’s ability to stay in alignment there is no point in carrying on with a sale.

It may be that the photo is taken off centre. I have had a scan through other pics of precisions and this is obviously not an exact science with positioning not being determined by digital calliper. Who knows? Whatever is the case this bass looks, plays, and sounds superb. If this is just a casual comment it may be better to make such comments by pm. However, anyone is very welcome to play this bass before purchase. Here’s a pic of the bass as taken by Limelight. Nothing wrong here folks move along now!😄

The body is alder.

Limelight say it is a maple P width neck appropriate to 1957. I can measure nut width if that helps.
