Will do some pics later but the bass landed today and very excited to play it with the band.  It's neither a P or a J (nor a PJ) and it is the first Limelight with a one-piece Alder body.  Quick teaser pic...

Quit teasing already! xD

I like that decal!

 

Still at work so please bear with...the pic was from Mark at Classic & Cool so I promise it's not a tease.  I'm doing the electronics myself hence the mini delay.

You are of course correct my friend.  Weirdly my boss doesn't see it that way.  However I have loaded a couple of 'pre-EMGs' pics for your delectation.  When finished it will be a Limelight Lee Sklar bass although as I don't know any famous recording artistes gathering sigs may take some time :(

 

Here you go with a couple of pics of the original first:

My L/L version awaiting some ink...

Sadly I couldn't find any of the original sort so it is the modern EMG Ps that are fitted.

Would it be returned Nick?

Flats or rounds people?  Not sure what strings Mr S uses or what were fitted on the original one.

Very much roundwounds. 

 

Lee uses GHS Super Steels, the 40/58/80/102 set. They are great-sounding strings, very bright.

Not a fan of steel string but I'll pop some bright nickel wounds on.  Thanks for the advice.

Looks very nice! Also looks like Mark is prepared to go a bit more bespoke than I'd assumed. Think the most off-piste bass I've seen him do was the P with an MM pickup instead of the split coil.

All the bits fitted now.  Sounds great and LS is a genius for coming up with the idea.  Need to do a bit more tweakery and we're good to go.
