Nope! Two and five. I've been a good boy though and done all my half term homework early so I have a bit of time in the evening to browse. It's proving dangerous to the wallet!

Haha. :) It certainly is. I've managed to resist two large-ticket purchases so far this week, so that's a plus.

Sorry, I'm re-posting (re-quoting) this again
Purely because I haven't seen the pics of this bass for a few days now

I am an addict, and I don't mind admitting it ;)
This bass is THE best looking bass I've ever seen
I'm pretty sure I've even dreamed about it! lol

There is no hope for me, is there?

Cor! Just Cor!!!!

I have just changed the spec on my bass I had originally ordered a burgundy mist P bass with rosewood board, kept coming back to this time and time again, so I called Mark and luckily I was in time to change the spec to a Shell Pink 63 P bass with a matching headstock, tort plate rosewood board and bridge cover in medium to heavy relic really looking forward to how it turns out

I'll tell you what. Whoever spec'd that pink bass must be a man of exceptional style and class
[/quote]

I totally agree. But then you'd expect it from a man who's 'good with colours'. :D

That early-60s blonde stacker early in the thread is a stunner, too. I reckon whoever specced that is very talented and attractive to women. I expect he's got lovely legs too and [i]always [/i]changes his pants and socks before he needs to, even when his girlfriend is away for the weekend. :mellow:

Calling those of you with 60s Limelight P's.....

How are the neck profiles? Are they shallow front-to-back, or do they have a bit of 'chunk' about them?
[/quote]

You can specify what neck you want on your order
I played one P with an old fashioned, chunky neck
Which to me, felt like an old 70's P bass I used to have

I played another P, which had the modern C shape neck on it
You wouldn't necessarily have known that, except when it came to playing
That neck was much more like I prefer - it was similar to a Jazz neck
but maybe a tad deeper at the nut end
Very similar in fact to my Classic Vibe 60's Squier P bass

So 2 quite different necks there....

If you speak to Mark, he'll let you know what the choices are

Sorry about the delay bonnie lad, just got back from ordering a Barefaced Retro Two10 cabinet. :)

Mine has a C shaped neck (Limelight 00139)
Width at nut = 1 5/8 inches
Width at 12th fret = 2 1/4 inches
Depth at 1st fret = 3/4 inch
Depth at 12th fret = 7/8 inch.

Medium frets, plays and sounds a dream with Roto TruBass Black nylons fitted.

Hope that helps but I must say that Mark will probably be able to advise and source exactly what you need.

...and as if by magic :-)

Holy crap - that's a beaut. Is it firemist?

Someone put me out of my misery and tell me what colour combo to get so I can put the order in. PLEASE.

What kept you?

Well if you don't want an early 60s blonde/tort/rosewood, how about a 70s aged olympic white/black pg/one-piece maple neck..? ;)
