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... NOW that's what I call a SIGNATURE Bass. Congratulations on such an innovative idea for a fantastic bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 What's the bit between the pups? I though it might be a ramp but it seems to be sitting flush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Nation Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Question is, do you have the beard to match? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 I have a pretty tame moustache, but not a chance in the beard dept. Same hair colour though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Not always @LukeFRC, I'd say my favorite setting is neck pickup on full throttle and the other backed off about 10%, plus the tone backed off by about 25%. It also works nicely the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloke_zero Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Lovely project - I've looked at doing something similar but not in such detail. I'm sure Leland would love to know about it. I wonder how hard it is to get those old EMG's?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I think it’s interesting that despite the world and it’s sound engineer going on about the P having the pickup in the perfect sweet spot, the world’s most recorded bass has the pickup moved forward closer to the neck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 This is epic! Would love to hear it sometime. Such a great idea! I would be interested in a LS sig bass for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
