thanks - gee it had sat there for a few years then!! I got it for a great price as it was literally taking up space in their warehouse and hadn't been played in a while. I should take some nice pics then ey...
I'd love a nice tort guard, but was quoted abut $220 Aus for a genuine Lakland (jeanies) one thru a current Lakland stockist...ouch.

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could do me a quick favor and photoshop a 44-01 for moi!
On this bass, Invalid Link Removed, I would like to have a black pickguard on it, and a tortoise shell P/G.

Looking for a Lakland bassist...
Yesterday (August 22) I was at the Sweet Corn/Blues Festival in Normal, Illinois. Around 3:30 or so there was a band playing and the bassist had what looked like a Decade with Chi-Sonics in it and a weird shaped, cream colored pickguard. He also had a newish StingRay (HS), and Epifani cabinet and a really tiny head. The band was a four-piece with a guitar (Natural fiinsh Les Paul), drums, and local sax ace Gerard.
I'm really interested in both the bass this guy was playing AND the amp.
BTW, I thought the Lakland sounded better out front. The 'Ray's bottom just took over and didn't so much drive the band, but seemed to stick out as a separate part... But he said he had some "technical difficulties" when he switched over.
Anyone recognize the band?
Thanks!!
John

My US order is in it's 5th month with another 3 to go.
Dan has hopes to get this lead time down to 4 months by the years end.
Carl woud LIKE to see it under 2 months....way to go before that happens though....
I think CHAD is working on that....he is doing alot of patches and other things today....
That is a thing of beauty, I've never been a huge fan of birdseye before, but jeez, this is incredible.
It still looks great, but it has taken a beating over the past several weeks. That bass is on its way to being "reliced"
Spread the orange....Spread the orange....
glad you got it!!!! practice.....practice.....practice.....and play it live...this will "force you" to be good at it.
that is what I did and am not "somewhat" comfortable with it on the songs where I do not have to do any fast changes or major runs.....I am WAY far off from alot of but can hold my own on some less complex fretless riffs....
I find it fun and challenging.....keep at it and don't give up....
good luck!
a 55-01 may be what you need....if you want more versatility, a 55-02 is GREAT! the neck is not as thin as a J bass but it is not bad....I find the neck very comfortable....
all of the lakland 5ers (with the exception of the DJ5) have the same neck profile so if you like the J sound, try a JO5...however, for more variety, I would try a nice used 55-01 or 55-02 first....MHO!
you just described a 55-02!
BTW - off topic....I have not been on a on a couple of days since I had to take my son to college...came home and wanted to play my beloved Lakies....go on here and I have 17+ pages to catch up on....how can I preactice when i have soooo much info to catch up on????
dang!
LOL!
Ok guys I am calling on some help here to help me make a couple of decisions.
Today I put my, new to me, DJ5 through the paces at 2 church services. I love the feel of the bass but the output was really lacking. This is the first all passive / single coil bass I have owned. Without changing any settings on my side (amp, DI, etc) the soundman literally had my gain at 2 or 3 oclock and the slider almost all the way up and my signal to the board was still very weak. For the first time ever he and everyone else told me to crank my amp up.
Without going into "fixing the soundman and system problems" I would like to get an onboard pre and change the pickups.
I do prefer a modern sound but do like the passive tones. Help me decide which pickups and pre to buy.
I have been reading about the Audere JZ3 and the East DJ Retro preamps. I want something to just drop in with no mods to be done. I know that the Audere requires drilling on the plate and that is ok.
What pickups Nordy's, Barts, etc.?
I know this is all a personal taste type thing but steer me in the right direction.

If you need more boost, and don't what to mod the bass (Cough-ChiSonics-cough), I'd just drop an active pre in there and call it done.
