[/quote] True again, but the back of the headstock will also have Mark's Limelight serial number written on it with a Sharpie, so it's all about what it looks like from the front in my humble opinion.

[/quote] Entirely agree! Just playing devil's advocate. The more I look at these the more interested I become. I've wanted a Fender Roadworn P for a while after having a positive experience with the Jazz version, but think I'd rather have one of these. Especially if they'd be up for putting a second p pickup nearer the bridge like ezbass did with his Roadworn a few years back...

[/quote] So they won't route for extra pickups and would have to source a sunburst body from somewhere as they don't spray 'burst finishes... Must really want one, cos now I'm disappointed!!! Sunburst isn't the end of the world, and I suppose I could bust out my dad's router and do the bridge pickup myself if it came to it... Still mighty interested!

Bigwan Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Further update - Marks says he CAN get an extra pickup installed. Backup plan of LPB or Burgundy Mist (with matching headstock of course!) might come in to play if I go ahead, as sunburst is a bit of a problem... Also inquired about early 50s style p bass builds and they're possible too. Edited June 25, 2014 by Bigwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
