I'm reluctantly selling my Limelight Jazz Bass, serial 00201, as I have another couple of jazzes & this is rather surplus to requirements.

This is a lovely example of Mark's work down at Cool & Classic guitars, a take in looks on a '75 but to me it feels more like a '62. Lovely to play, typical jazz sounds (the maple board making it sound edgier than my rosewoods) & it looks great with the matching headstock & tort scratchplate.

At present it's got a Babicz bridge on it (I put these on all my basses), which I think looks great as a contrast to the lightly-reliced body, but I can put the original back on if required; I'll include it anyway. It also has Schaller straplocks on it, again I can put the originals on if required.

Another nice thing, for me, is that the matching headstock has the Limelight logo instead of the usual Fender logo - I love Mark's basses (I've had 4) so I think this adds to rather than detracts from the overall look.

Collection from Bournemouth. I'd prefer not to have to post/courier, but try me (postage at purchaser's expense). I'm willing to drive for a fair distance (up to 150 miles) to deliver, for a fuel contribution agreed before I travel.

Thanks for looking!

That's lovely.  I've got 0202 ('63 red fretless jazz).  

Excellent - I used to have 00103 ('59 Precision) & 00105 ('62 Jazz), I regret selling both but you can only have so many!! But I'm keeping 00135, a '60 jazz in Burgundy. Beautiful!

very nice bass

what about the weight ?

I don't know exactly, no scales, sadly, but it's on the heavy side of a jazz, weighs similar to my '79 Precision, if that's any help? Not as heavy as a Sire Marcus Miller, but significantly heavier than my Maruszczyk Elwood.

Sorry I can't be more exact on this!

Beautiful bass, but is the colour of the headstock different than the body? 

Good spot - I think it's the same basic colour, but the body's been aged so the cover is thinner, so the headstock looks "more" green, as it were. But yes, they are slightly different shades.

Am really interested in the bass but need a reasonably accurate weight.

Have been in touch with Mark at Limelight but he hasn't got a note of the weight. Any chance you can get hold of some scales & get a figure?

Cheers

9.2 lbs! Sorry, I posted this earlier but not as a reply to you, don't know whether you saw it or not.
