KingPrawn Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Hello All I bought this from BC very recently. It's a stunning bass and when I saw it I had to have it. However, it was an impulse buy and I'm not using it, My 75 remains king.As you can see from the pictures it has been given a good going over by the limelight team and it just looks fab. Loads of tone nice neck and plays really well. Weight 9lb on the nose. Not really looking for trades. Comes with a soft case. More than happy to post (Fully insured). Also happy to meet up locally to Birmingham. £750 inc Postage Edited January 8, 2018 by KingPrawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumnote Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I was the original buyer, this is a really nice bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Bit confused, is it a fender or a Limelight? Looks like a regular Limelight to me not a fender but title suggests it's a Fender that has been modified by Limelight. Either way it's lovely.

Hutton Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It's a Limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll amend the title. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limelight basses did come with Fender logos if the buyer requested it. Ask Mark at Classic and Cool guitars for the current position regarding this. It has the Limelight serial number on the back. They are excellent basses but I have no idea why you think a Limelight logo'd bass would be worth more than an original pre-cbs Fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumnote Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I asked Mark to put a fender decal on when I bought it. It isnt the same as a real stack knob so with the limelight sno on the back and the variation from standard theres no possibilities of passing off. And yes I am that shallow sometimes.

Why go to all the trouble of making it look exactly like a vintage Fender and then miss out a vital feature like the decal on the headstock.This is a cracking bass. Mark is superb at producing these instruments for ordinary mortals who want the look and sound but can’t afford genuine prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that a Limelight would be worth more than a genuine Fender; I said that a Limelight presented as itself would be worth more than an illegal fake "Fender". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also PM Prowla to ask him to remove his provocative comments. If he fails to do so, ask the Mods to do it. My comment will be removed in a couple of hours. Fine basses Limelight, fitting tributes to the Fenders most of us can't afford. Thanks, advice was taken. My poor attempt at lightning the mood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Great basses. I'm relieved Mark doesn't do sunburst although the thought of a nice (lightweight) mocha Precision with a rosewood board is seriously tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harryburke14 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It's local and I'm sure it sounds good, so tempted. Only thing letting it down is the colour - Claret is not welcome in this Royal Blue home 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
