Gave it a very slight overdrive and everyone was blown away by my Lakland's tone. | Cool! Link us up to it if you can.

Maybe the bass you looked at was from one of those batches.
Lakland will fix any issues..... | Any idea who I should mail at lakland about this ? I have a bass with the same issue, so I guess it's one of the same batch.

|  | Don't want no treble. | | Join Date: May 2012 Location: Long Beach CA | | New (to me) 2011 Skyline 44-60 limited edition with BnB neck and Chi-sonics in Inca Silver. Arrrr!!! Now, must decide which Lakie jazz to keep...this, or 2007 DJ4 in LPB?? Both are excellent. I think the Chis get the edge but it is close!!

Attachment 312498 | That's a tough choice, but a nice problem to have! One with rounds, one with flats? Chis love flats.

I already had three Fender Jazz basses that are all keepers. The War Department is starting to catch on...and I love Precisions too! (Including my DD.)

I just (I mean just) got a 2008 JO-5 off of eBay for $800 with Aero pickups and Audere JZ3 preamp. The seller also has the original preamp and shipping them with the bass.
My question is - What is the original preamp in a 2008 JO-5?
Thanks :-)

Thanks :-) | The JO's are passive. Maybe he means pots and plate?

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SF Bay Area | | | Hello. I should have posted in here a long time ago. Big Lakie fan here. I've been very happy with my Korean era Skyline BG4 bought new in 2007 and a JO4 purchased in November from another TBer.
Question for the experts: Does Lakland ever sell parts? Tuners, pickguards and the like? |

The pots are CTS and the cap looks like a Sprague (I have the passive plate).

That is the sound I was looking for, great combination. I never liked those strings on any other instrument.

Thanks :-)

Hey guys, thought i might finally pipe up after all these years of lurking the forum! Some of these custom lakies are just incredible! Just curious, Is it an easy process to order these custom models, or do you do it through certain connections to the company?
Glad to see the LOG is still alive! (BTW, I humbly own a fretless 44-01, thinking a US 44-64 is my next axe, but would love to customize it slightly  ) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
