ead Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) 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... Edited April 5, 2022 by ead 4 Quote

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...

ead Posted April 5, 2022 Author Posted April 5, 2022 Sadly I couldn't find any of the original sort so it is the modern EMG Ps that are fitted. 2 Quote

ead Posted April 5, 2022 Author Posted April 5, 2022 Flats or rounds people? Not sure what strings Mr S uses or what were fitted on the original one. 1 Quote

Misdee Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 Great project, by the way. I like your taste. 🙂. 1 1 Quote

howdenspur Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 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. 1 Quote
ead Posted April 5, 2022 Author Posted April 5, 2022 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. 20 Quote
