or you can just order a brand new one for $150+shipping. i've gotten two of them so far.

i got the one that UPS put a hole in it, he gave it to me for free with my jo5

i pushed out the part that got pushed in and then glued it, it looks pretty good now, but i may cover that area with an LOG sticker

There ya go!

the lines on fretless are actually maple inlays. you can get unlined fretboard too although they are not often

Cool, so that should be pretty easy to darken if I get ready.

 

[blondmix3]

I don't

Agreed. Although I wouldn't kick it off stage either way....

I got a "beater" with my JO5 from Leo as well. Other than some sticker goo and some scratches, it's beautiful.

 

[DanTheMan2112]

did you buy that from Terry (Buffordbass)? that is a nice 4-94....not you huh? what "is" you?

Thanks!
It's actually a 44-02 Deluxe I traded my Fender Am. Deluxe Jazz V for.
I really want something with a maple fretboard, and probably passive. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome bass that I would probably only trade for another Lakland.

it's Je-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH..............

 

[basspraiser]

what's OCD?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder......the person is VERY picky about some things (usually "odd things" like basses!!!)....if things are not "just so" they feel off balance (literally)....we are ALL OCD in some way shape or fashion....it is just "now" it has a name.....

 

[basspraiser]

I'll do my best. It will be a crazy-jam-packed weekend, but hopefully can see some friendly faces!

and mine.....

 

[basspraiser]

Been there, definitely done that....

me too.....funny thing was I was typing that with my wife in the room and I gotta face full of $&!^ for it as well......oh well...I married the best woman I ever dated so all ended up good.....well. for me anyways.....she is STUCK with me you know!!!

As of today, I have a fretless 55-02 on it's way to me. Nothing particularly special about it. Natural finish, lined ebony board and Lakland gizzards. This will be my fourth Lakland after a 55-02, 44-02 and DJ5. The DJ I no longer have, but I really liked it. The 44/55 series basses are just "it" for me. I've had these for a while now and not even a hint of dissatisfaction with them.

Quick question about the fretless. What are the lines made of? They standout pretty good in the pictures I've seen. I'm wondering if I could obscure them a bit with some oil or a light stain?

major congrats!!! EVERY Lakland is special!! I agree with the 44/55 series comment...I have 3 variants and am happy with each!

as for the lines.....I am not sure on the Skylines...maybe some form of plastic? they do stand out but not from a few paces away.....they disappear nicely at about the second or third row (from the stage).....leave them be...no reason to cover them....(IMHO!)

the US lines are hand sanded birds eye maple...hand done by Carl......

You'll LOVE the mwah factor....if it does not cry enough for you send it in and have Carl set it up...he recently re-did mine and oh my.......

 

[basspraiser]

I don't

 

[basspraiser]

the lines on fretless are actually maple inlays. you can get unlined fretboard too although they are not often

only on the US models.....maybe the Shoreline models as well, but not on the skylines...

 

[basspraiser]

Thanks, that is good news.
Well, week two and no DJ5 yet, hopefully only one week to go

hopes for a "short" 7 days!!!

 

[basspraiser]

i may cover that area with an LOG sticker

GREAT use...duct tape and LOG stickers, they fix anything!!!!

BTW - anyone can buy more stickers if the want them...check the LOG site....the "old" T's are gone...Denchig just ordered the last one!!!! They are now "officially" a collector's item......
