I have a DJ. It does absolutely everything I could ask it to.
Get one, live long and prosper.

I'm probably going to get it really well shielded at some point, though. Hums like a b****.

Just out of interest, it's a skyline with the serial number 08047028. Which I think means it may be the last-ever Korean Lakland. That would be pretty sweet to own!

Cheers, SoundSupport.

Quick question for you knowledgeable LOG'ers; I've been lusting over Laklands for some time now, particularly the Skyline 44-60, going so far as to speak with my doctor about how "vital" some of my organs really are, and the going rate on today's market. My question is, does the Skyline 44-60 not come in natural? I noticed on the Lakland site that it offers 3T Translucent, Black, and Natural, but when I download the brochure, it says that the natural is only offered on the Skyline 55-60. It's only a minor hindrance, as I'm also a fan of Black/Tort/RW, but I'll be damned if I haven't already fallen in love with the idea of Natural/Tort/RW. Any insight?

I've seen a few natural Skyline 44-60s floating around out there, but they're relatively older and quite rare. My guess is Lakland did a small number of runs of them years ago. Good luck!

Email Lakland, I'm sure they'll sort you out. Going Lakland is a good move anyhow

Good luck

If I survive and you don't, I am coming for that 44-94

I'm interested in trying a Lakland - specifically a 5 string with a P/J configuration of some type. But I'm disappointed with their choice of dealers in the NYC area. Sam Ash and Guitar Center? Yech. Suggestions?

Maybe buy one minty and used for a good price here on talkbass when the right one surfaces.
Worst comes to worst, you do not like it and re sell it.
I have had great luck buying used US Laklands here from great people @ reasonable prices.

Will do.
Just need get through this holiday HOOPLAH first.
Then will snap a few pics.
In person I think it is not as contrasty as the BC pics make it look.
More subtle tones.

yes, I've bought several basses here on TB and I have my eye open for a US-built Lak 5 with P/J config, don't see any at the moment. Thx though. Kind of confirms no good dealers around in NYC, no?

I would have to say none that I am aware of in NYC.
Anywhere in the state of NY for that matter.
I have not seen many dealers out there online that carry many US Laklands new.
Usually you see most dealers out there stocking skylines.
Bass Central has a decent amount.
I think Bass Club Chicago has a few.
I have seen some nice US Lakland 5'ers selling on Ebay.

**Mrfstop** · #**418** 12-20-2012, 08:24 PM

Like this one for example...on ebay right now.
It is not a P/J, But...........
It is a super rare 55-07!!
In Ice Blue!
With chisonic buckers
maybe make the seller an offer?

lol - I actually checked that one out. (Shows I'm looking, right?) I found the pickup and controls a little skeery ... I like the P/J idea, and the 5 knobs. Not shooting for double 'buckers and all those knobbies plus toggle.
