Limelight Custom Guitars 00192 1970’s P Bass Light relic Olympic White over Black with rosewood fretboard. 

I am reluctantly selling this beauty as I have now picked up another P Bass which came along and I couldn't resist.

I bought this off a fellow BC'er in December and have enjoyed it on several gigs, from cool Soul to balls out Rock and it was 'awesome' (sorry!)

I'll be sad to see it go but I have two P's plus others all needing to be used. The original details are on the Limelight web page here:

Welcome to try it out in Poole, collection preferred or a meet up. I'm travelling up to the Midlands this weekend. 

Thanks.

Do you know what pickups are fitted?

I don't think Mark (limelight) tells folk where his pickups come from.

Correct but they’re damn good

I initially commissioned this bass from Mark, I didn’t spec anything other than make it look old, he did, I loved it but the blues project folded sold that and the Fretless Jazz I commissioned at the same time. Absolutely spot on as a bass sound and looks.

Absolute killer bass. The rosewood version of mine (in my profile pic).

I owned this bass before Paddy and it is a cracker indeed.

Great bass, great price and top BC'er - GLWTS!

Would a MIdlands meetup on Sunday any time from 4pm onwards be possible? If so I will have this please. 

[paddybass]

Hi, I’ll have to be leaving Walsall area by 11am heading down South. I can work something out around then but definitely won’t be there in afternoon. Thanks, Paddy.

For Godsake please buy this to stop me getting in trouble at home!

[holyflamingsmoke]

Hi Paddy. Don't suppose you are there on Friday, as I am free all day? If not how about Saturday? I can be down there for about 3pm but not much later as I have to get back oop North for an evening gig.
