Supposed to be sunny and 70 degrees today. Just had to say that.

Oooh, nice. I love the cherryburst.

After a quiet-ish period here, posting has picked up the last few days--right when you started participating again!

I don't dig super low action; so, if that's how it sets, it's gonna get changed!
fwiw; my ballpark setup is 1/16" between top of fret and bottom of string, at 12th position, while fretting first position, and "about a business card" worth of relief at 5-7, fretting 12 and 1....makes sense, right>

Hey guys,

I am shopping for a new bass, and really want to go the Lakland route. I have a Classic 70s Jazz. Would like to stay with the Jazz sound, and of course have some tonal variation.

So far,

Lakland Daryl Jones

Skyline 44-AJ.

Sorry for the thread derail!

Holdsg · #**855** 11-21-2012, 07:46 AM

Get the DJ.

I own a DJ4 and enjoy it immensely. It doesn't have that 70s jazz sound because of pickup position but its still a great jazz sound. Neck is thin and the body is comfortable and light. I highly recommend it.

Very cool - I have an 02 in black with the LH3 and like it a great deal. Like you I also have a Lakland coming in on Friday, it is a trans blue 4401 maple with Chi and LH3. I believe it originally belonged to Holdsg. Looking forward to giving it a whirl.

I'm prepared for this to be catch and release.
I don't have any other 35's, and I'm very much ok with the rest of my toolbox.

But, I like trying stuff, I've always admired the 5502D cherryburst, and I'll enjoy it no matter how long it sticks.

Glad to see it stayed in the family. Seriously good "value" bass.
