SOLD: Limelight precision - fiesta red
£725

Recommended Posts

Limelight P for sale - reliced, fiesta red, tort pick guard. I bought this from MattM a few months ago, but unfortunately I think I'm too used to J basses and can't get on with the chunkiness of the neck profile. Lovely looking bass though, and sounds fantastic too. 

Alder body, slab rosewood board, clay dots, rolled fingerboard edges, reverse tuners, late 60s/early 70s logo. Hand wound pickup with CTS pots, switchcraft jack. Nut width just  under 40mm, weight approx 9lbs.

Comes with decent quality gig bag - price is £725. Would much prefer local collection or meet up in the Scottish central belt, but will consider (UK only) shipping.

Also will consider trades - ultimately I'm after a p sound with a jazz-type neck (like a lot of people!), so feel free to try me.

I spotted this for sale, just too late, when Matt originally advertised it
Kicked myself at the time - so I ordered my own version :)
Limelight basses are lovely - this shouldn't be around for too long (it, and a similar one went quickly last time)

PS. 40mm doesn't sound too wide for a Precision neck - or is this one quite deep too?

This is a lovely, lovely bass.   Only sold it on as I had an option on an ultra lightweight USA P which I figured would be easier for my young son to learn on.  

The Limelight has got a great range of sound, and as Derek says a slim (for a P)) neck width - similar to the B widths that were around in late 60s/early 70s like Nate Mendel's P is modelled on but quite deep.   Found it a wee bit different moving to the shallow modern C profile on my USA P but getting used to it.

Indeed Marc, it's exactly between the Fender A (38mm) and B (42mm) neck.  I did drool a little when I saw this but then realised the nut would be too small for me.

But, it'll be a superb Bass for someone, and like has already been said, won't be around for long, get it while it's hot folks!

I have a sunburst relic Limelight P with a jazz neck, the first Precision I've got on with in 30 years! I've also had a thing for a worn fiesta red for a while too 

....... so tempted by this 

I've got a Fiesta Red Limelight on order..... and even I'm tempted by this too Dazed! ;)
This represents a good saving on ordering one from Mark... go on - you know you want to :)
