SOLD Lakland Darryl Jones 5 NECK. Black / Maple. DJ5, 2008 NOS

What's the width at the nut and at the heel?

 

If only my JO were black, I'd buy this! But the black may clash with my LPB...

 

May not work anyway. I thought I saw a thread that the DJ necks had either 1 extra fret or 1 less fret so not interchangeable!

 

Wow, live and learn. I went to the Lakland site to find out the scoop:

The DJ has both 1+ and 1-, depending on the model you're comparing them to....

Both the 4 and 5 string DJ have 21 frets.

The JO has 20 frets on the 4 string and 22 frets on the 5 string

The AJ and P-Bass models are like the JO

The 44-xx and 55-xx (being a Lakland original design) have 22 frets on both the 4 and 5 string.

So, it seems that 4 string "vintage inspired" Laklands have 20 fret necks

5 string versions of the vintage instruments required a slight redesign anyway, so Lakland made them conform to the Lakland 22 fret standard.

And (since they were a recreation of the DJ bass from "A Basses") the DJ models are their own animal.

The really grainy picture of DJ's A bass seems to have a 21 fret neck. So I assume the Lakland DJ models are faithful recreations, with 21 fret necks that are only found on that model.

Thanks for the tip!

 

Somebody grab this!! These are GREAT necks. Find a way to make it fit............get a different bridge, move the bridge, have a body made, etc. I doubt you will ever see a DJ neck in mint condition at this price again.

 

You have a LPB 5 string Skyline JO?

 

Plek'd?

 

By the info above, this would fit a 55-02?

 

Perhaps - if you can cram the saddle pieces into the springs enough to make the intonation work.

Look at the distance between fret 21 and fret 22 on your 55-02... that's how much your saddles will all need to move towards the tail end of your bass.

More likely you would need to move the bridge. If you don't use the string thru body option (and thus don't care if the holes in bridge no longer line up with the holes thru the body), moving the bridge would not be a huge job. But its new position might leave exposed screw holes.

 

Yes, one of the first from 2002. It also has an East preamp.

 

I am not sure I ever saw one. That is a rare bird indeed!

 

Don't think so....different number of frets and different profiles...

 

PM Sent!

 

So glad it's sold! - I had absolutely no use for it, but yet it was calling my name...
