basshead56 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 [sharedmedia=core:attachments:152749] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:152750] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:152748] I had similar thoughts (and taste) but didn't go as far... My Butterscotch 51 RI Precision was nice but i wanted to make it feel a bit more 'lived in' Stripped paint, added slight contour, and refinished with a white blonde finish with a final clear coat over that (beautiful woodgrain showing through). Also relic'd the finish a wee bit around the edges. Added proper vintage wiring harness, new input jack and full cavity shielding (second japanese bass I've had with poor cavity shielding). I thought about replacing the stock pickup with something else, but have decided to leave that for now - really digging the sound. Also added appropriate bridge and pickup covers I also sanded back the finish on the neck. Now it feels amazingly good to play Chucked on some LaBella flats and she's now an old school tone-machine!!! Just waiting on a chrome tug bar to arrive from overseas and the rebirth is complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 My limelight precision.

Marc S Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Looks quite something! Prob a bit too heavy reliced for my own tastes, but of course, it's all personal taste.... Looks really different, and very eye-catching though I love my factory finish Fender J Roadworn It's the best, most comfortable bass I've ever played and I just love playing it There are those who dislike roadworn / reliced instruments but one real plus, is that you are less precious about them getting slight knocks on stage .... and that's quite liberating, in an odd sort of way I once had a near mint Rick and was paranoid when I took it out & about....

martthebass Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Another limelight Jazz. This really has become my go to bass. A bit reliced for some tastes but at least I don't get concerned about it picking up the odd ding.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
