Lakland Skyline JO5 ordered about 4 weeks ago from VBTC. Bass is natural w/rosewood board, tort guard and a lakland Hardshell case. This bass was ordered with Aero pickups instead of the Fralins. I also paid to have Lakland do a shielding job on the bass as well. The bass weighs in at 10.2 lbs on my scale and is in mint condition. The bass also has Dunlop straplocks installed. $900 shipped to the lower 48.

Nice JO5. I'm kinda partial to oil and natural finishes. I'd be all over this if I didn't get a Tre-tone burst last week (hey, price was right).

What you didn't liked about it?
do the Aeros sound right in that bass?

Sorry for all the questions but
I need a bass by next week and
want to buy a Lakland for sure.

but still undecided between a JO & DJ (4 and 5 strings)

How about the neck feel between the JO & DJ
plus the weight between them.

thanks for the feedback on the bass
It looks like a good choice
regards,
CJ

The aero sound pretty aggressive....I like them a lot. The thing that bothers me is the 35 scale I think. The bass sounds huge...like one big string (B string is awesome). I'm not posotive but I have read that the DJ5 neck was a little chunkier which is why I ordered the JO5 with the DJ5 pickups. The neck is flat and thin...very easy to play. The weight would probably be about the same. I guess it depends on each individual piece of wood though.

Believe me, I've been trying to justify taking this off your hands. Bump for a good deal on a sweet ride.

what sort of payment will you require(i.e. check, Paypal)?

Prefer US Postal service money order but Paypal will work if you want to pay (or possibly split) the fees.
