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.

You, Sir, win the internet.

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...

NOW that's what I call a SIGNATURE Bass.

Congratulations on such an innovative idea for a fantastic bass.

What's the bit between the pups? I though it might be a ramp but it seems to be sitting flush?

It's where the batteries live/where the original P rout would have been on the original. @6:35

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.

Have you brought it to his attention?

I think he might be quite tickled to hear about it.

 

I'm not sure that I would know how to do that :(

Or if you can stand it, Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LelandSklarOfficial

 

As a rule I don't do social media (except BC plus LinkedIn as I have to for work) so don't have accounts on either platform.

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?!

 

If I could find some I'd definitely swap them out, assuming of course I could afford them!
