NBD - A slightly different Limelight

Recommended Posts

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.

Shan’t and won’t, big reveal required now! Work? There are more important things, namely us. ;) 

 

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...

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.
