Technically I should now sell my Limelight, but I can't part with it. It's just too wonderful. Yeah that needs to live with me 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky 4000 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Anybody know where this Limelight fella is based? I don't want his address, just nearest town or whatever? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to say that he does not as he is trying to simulate a vintage look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrrgh, everytime I see it written - Lou24 - yeah, it's a frickin' stupid name innit...it's an old, old, old works PC username from years ago, thought I'd use it set up my account, then change it, but could never work out how to...just wish I'd went with plain ol' Dougie...! Anyway, back on topic...so how does the relicing process actually work then...I'm assuming you need to actually finish the paintwork on the bass to a full finish then deteriorate it backwards to whatever relic is desired...so therefore in essence a completely non-relic option would be easier in that respect than a relic option of any harshness? Or am I completely missing something......?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knicknack Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 @lou24d53 I think that the final finish quality doesn't have to be flawless in the same way as a non-relic'd would be. I was chatting with SC relics about this the other day, the setup he has to spray perfect finishes is insane! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned it for a while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I've just had a price for a P bass at under £1000 so that's a plus. He has offered to put on a slimmer neck with 38mm nut altho he said it won't be as slim as my Geddy Jazz. I didn't realise that he only does reliced finish tho. Its not something i like. I could accept very light and i mean very light relic finish. I'm waiting on his reply to a couple of questions but i'm thinkng this might be the way to go.

knicknack Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Such pressure! It’s not mine but it was offered to me first, but I can’t stretch at the mo so it’ll be here soon. Pino style P bass but Jazz width neck. One of the lightest relics I’ve seen him do and a real player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
