, so, they had this clearance sale, and I'm fortunate enough to get this 44-02

, the only problem is, the front coil of MM pickup is kinda fail, I can't barely hear a thing if it's solo'ed. So I ask them to give me another discount, since they out of bussiness and never bother to send the bass to lakland, they agree, double discount for me..yay!!.I always wanted to have 44-02 with a pair of Basslines pickup ( I already have a 55-02 with lakland hanson pickup), so, the problem is solved..

here it is,

I'm a 34" scale guy, but gotta feeling this bass is gonna become my workhorse. Also, I'm a rosewood guy, but I always find myself enjoying the maple boards on Laklands better.

Wow wow wow. I'm a new Skyline owner (times two as of later today! DD and DJ4). Now you have set off GAS pains anew with that lovely natural finish and jazz neck.

Enjoy!!

Cool - but I don't believe that's a natural finish or a jazz neck.

Bad news for you though, I'm in pretty good health, and the Tornados that are hitting the Mobile, Alabama area each week keep missing me!

well....that would be most kind of ya! however, I will not be wishing any ill on ya! glad for the good health and the tornado misses!

Nice LE DS Dunn as well!

peace....

congrats on 2 in one day!

this is actually one of a limited edition LOG bass.

It is actually butterescotch....the neck is the standard Lakie 5er neck...very comfy IMHO...

diglo · #**549** 12-27-2012, 06:49 PM

@basspraiser....not sure where it originated from. It was at Low End.

**Mrfstop** · #**550** 12-27-2012, 09:33 PM

And I thank you for the correction! A lovely piece of work even if I didn't fully appreciate the subtleties.

Do you players know when Lakland stop offering a 34" scale 5594....what serial number? I know it was the first year, 1996.

ShowLow · #**555** 12-28-2012, 10:29 PM

My most recent set of twins. Fraternal, acquired separately. Also my first Lakies. They are nice players and easy on the eyes...IMHO of course! Both are 2007 Skylines.

Just so you guys don't think I'm crazy... found the pic of Geezer playing the Seafoam green JO4...

Don't think you're crazy. But say it isn't so Geezer, where's the black man!?

On the Ampeg grill? He was endorsing Ampeg and Lakland about the same time IIRC...

Thanks, basspraiser. You were really the one who brought about this trade, for which I also thank you. There was some debate whether the P pups are Hanson Vintage or Nordstrand. I'm not sure, but they both look good to me. I'm going to play and gig it first before making a decision on the J conversion.

If anyone cares, the Fender Jazz in the middle in the pic below is what I traded for this apparently somewhat unique Lak fiver. This Jazz is a great bass of its kind, but I've moved on tone-wise. Even trade IMO.
