You made the right decision with the orange translucent. It would have been criminal to put an opaque color over that awesome grain. The factory marks are also cool since it is a prototype.
I love the black guard but it would be nice to see white with the maple board.

Well she's here, but I don't get to hear her until Monday when my tech gets her wired and setup. Anyway, here's my family portrait (although the JO, is going to see some changes once the BG is running....).
The color is somewhat close on this pic...
For those that don't know, she's the Bob Glaub 5 Prototype, loaded with a Nordstrand NP5. Can't WAIT to play and hear it!
Man I missed out on that bass by a couple hours
You've done it up right Randy.
How do you like the finish job on there?
You might have to pass the name of the guy on to me.

OK! I just got home from my gig. It's been crazy crazy busy lately. I have a rehearsal later today and I'm teaching all day on Monday, but Tuesday I should be able to FINALLY get the first Lick of the Month done! We're going to start it simple, but if anyone has any requests for anything, let me know. My apologies for the delay. Gig after gig after gig after gig...
Hi there,
I got a Skyline Darryl Jones 4 about 6 weeks ago. I'm amazed with this bass, unbelievable tone and matching playability.
However, I have noticed that when both the volume pots are turned fully down I am still getting a signal. This is very temperamental, sometimes there is no signal and other times there is a signal. It seems not quite right. Any DJ owners out there who have noticed this?
Also, just out of curiosity, how is the neck pocket on your DJ, mine is not as tight as I'd like it, both my cheaper guitars have a much tighter neck pocket! I think this is purely an aesthetic grumble, although I must admit it does bug me a little.
Apart from this I'd give this bass 10/10 and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new bass.
I'd love to hear some feedback from some DJ owners.
Many thanks.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I got really lucky with this one. Marty Bell did the work, and it is FLAWLESS, and the work was done faster than expected. I certainly won't hesitate to use him again.
Thanks! It's perfect timing, because I've got some tracks to lay down anyway, so I'll post something soon. And a Lakland P/U would've been ideal, but as of yet, they don't make a split fiver....

That's what I've been waiting for...
You have my heart-felt congrats!
One day, I'll have one...
A couple of years back I picked up a used 44-02 fretless. I contacted Lakland and they told me that all their fretless basses came with the same medium stainless roundwounds as the fretted 4's. I didn't try them on that bass, due to my concern for stainless rounds on a unfinished board. My favorite strings for that bass ended up being DR Sunbeams, which are nickel roundwounds on a round core. I did not try flats, though I'm sure they would sound great if you are looking for that tone. A string that I did try, and expected to like - but hated - was D'addario Half Rounds. I found them very 'sticky' and hard to slide on. As always YMMV.
i had the same experiance with the half rounds. heted em' on fretless.
not too bad on fretted bass though.
I wish I would've kept "Orange Crush" for myself... so bring on the suggestions!!!
I owned a skyline DJ a while back and noticed neither of the issues you have. The pocket was tight and no volume meant no volume. Maybe you have a mute switch to help you out?
Orange Lazarus. It's from that old show Pete & Pete. It was a mind controlling cold drink.
