Limelight Custom "1968/1969" P bass (Based on John Deacons Live Aid bass) - ON HOLD - *SOLD* £800 Tamworth

[Nibody]

Price is ONO. I bought this way back close to covid days in summer 2021  from @hiram.k.hackenbacker on this very site.

 

The bass can be found on "Classic and Cool"'s gallery of limelights - its number 0236. From what I recall it is a one-piece selected body, bass is slightly reliced, jazz profile neck and all the usual limelight stuff - clay dots, nitro lacquer, reliced parts etc. I changed the tort pickguard for a black one and fitted aged schaller straplocks. The bridge saddles were a little over reliced, and were replaced by the previous owner.

 

The case it came in has been replaced with a Fender Hard case, and will also come with a Fender soft case

 

My health issues are now so bad I cant justify keeping it any longer. 

 

Ideally due to my mobility issues and having used all my suitable packing boxes selling off other instruments, I'd prefer collection from Tamworth, Staffs

Hello matey... still remember collecting it from you at Conkers! It's the nicest playing P bass I've owned, but the arthritis has won now (neck, back, shoulders and now hitting left hand)and as much as it guts me theres no point it just sitting in a case gathering dust. Been soul searching for about 6 months over letting her go.

Mark put a lot of effort into sourcing a suitable body for this and I think he did a great job.
