...Daphine Blue Nitro Finish including the back of the Neck...
Hey guys,
It's been a while; but... a few months ago I was in the studio recording with my decade and chi-sonic DJ...
a few tunes are up at: myspace.com/oneaccordncu
It'd be cool to get a few bass players' take on the tracks/tones/etc. This is a first for me, so I'm open to any critique you have.
As far as the bass breakdown:
What Are You Waiting For: Decade
All I Have: DJ
Sing To You: Decade
Thin Place: Fender MIJ 62 RI
Sweet Sufficiency: DJ
More Than I Hoped For: Decade... I think.
Everything was recorded direct through my REDDI.

Thanks Jody! Nothing like winning Battle of the Bands though!

.Ed Reynolds, my mistake, Thanks
Wow, very nice! Congrats on picking that one up. Ed Reynolds is, by all accounts, excellent. He refretted the Fender '57 reissue Precision I later bought, and it plays like a dream. Carl Pedigo, Lakland's head luthier, has seen and admired the fretwork of the bass--Ed is definitely one of his big influences. Oh, and welcome to TB!I have a very special Lakland 55-94 that was built by Ed Reynolds whom from what I have read is one of the best Luthier's in the business and one of Lakland's top consultant's. It is signed and dated 2006 by him on the inside backplate of the control cavity. Alder Body with Matching Headstock, Daphine Blue Nitro Finish including the back of the Neck, Bartolini Pickups and Preamp. I just put the Black Abalone screwless Pickguard on it which looks pretty cool. I was initially going to put a White or Vintage White Pearl Pickguard on it. What do you guys think? It sounds and plays fantastic. I am new to the forum and this is my first post. Hopefully I will learn more as I go.
Haha! Ya I guess so. Forgot how nice passive 4-string jazz basses sounded (slap happy too). Like the new avatar Markus.
Here's the new DJ4 Skyline.
Put black beauties on the 4-94 fretless. Much more to my liking, but I think I need to put some bow into the neck...it's almost completely flat when I "fret" 1st fret and 12 and push down on 7. A little less relief (or more, not sure what the term is), drop the saddles a bit and it will be killer with new strings.

Haha, you heard. Best thing was getting called the next day to open for Drowning Pool
. We couldn't accept, I was sleeping and the guitarist was doing ultrasounds (DAMNIT!!!) but it was nice to go from unknown to the first band called
