Ummmm, so would that be a black blocked maple neck fiver???? (do I sound like a broken record yet?)
Although I'm not a LOGger, I reckon the second bass with the Ebony(?) fretboard and Maple(?) inlays was the most nicest.
I have a love/hate relationship with this thread.
I'm GASsing hard for a Lakland 5er, but I am a 17yr old Australian with little money. And for some reason I can't help but torture myself by browsing this thread.
Anyone have a spare 55-02/DJ5/JO5 they want to donate to a worthy cause?
I wait with high hopes.
Luke.
Luke:
your wondering and yearning are always welcome.....sorry to make your GAS pains so bad...we all have them....save up and one day you can get a nice Lakie....good things take time (I KNOW I sound like your dad...I have a 20 year old and a 16 year old (and an 8 year old)...so I am a old fart) but I do know it is true.....sounds rough but it is true...
when I was your age, well....see some posts above and you will see what I used to have....did not have anything as nice as a Lakie until I was 42 or 43....
as for the Lakie donation line, get behind Surpise! Panda (who - NO surprises) has been asking for almost 2 years now....
I was denied....EPIC FAIL
I dunno...I am a sucker for binding.....but then I would go with rosewood....but that's just me...lol. No worries at all Doug, I was joking. If I can get a decade neck, I will be all set in the bound and blocked dept!
no difference..same thing...
it is actually a 55-94...but for some reason, the 4 string versions are 4-94s.....
I'm right hear.
Don't you have some basses to play?
This is one hell of a wave!!!!!
Yeah thats my old JOCS.
Seems to be a bit expensive compared to what I sold it for. I'm just sayin.
yeh yeh yeh...should be playing but had 18+ pages to read!!!
thanks - one of my best (and Markus missed the signage!!! - getting old suck!)
yeh - the price keeps growing and growing.....
ooo..thats gotta hurt!
watch them drunks.....and keep them away from the bass....drunk people think they KNOW how to play bass....
OK - so can we do 30 BB&Bs (Butterscotch BG5 with blocks)????
ordering a Skyline would sure save me an armored car full of pennys!!!!
ready for another round gents????

Well like my Nan always says, "if you never ask, you'll never know", but unlike Surprise! Panda, I havn't been pestering you for one, lol
The only person to blame for my GAS pains is that dang Dan Lakin and the rest of his crew, hahahaha I'm kidding, don't tell on me!
The annoying thing (for me) is that I had some $$$ saved up, and then I managed to go and get myself in a car accident where I was technically "at fault" and a whopping insurance excess fee put a stop to my new bass ideas, haha, but live and learn.
At least when I finally get my new 5er, the wait will make it seem even better.
I'm thinking of asking for donations as 18th Birthday/Christmas gifts, to help me out, last year I used that to help me get my Eden stuff...I like to scheme...heh heh. (There should be a shifty eyes emoticon)
It doesn't sound rough at all, I know that one can't always have everything handed to them on a plate, and that's what really annoys me, when I see on forums such as TB, spoilt kids whose parents get them what they want, when they want it.
/Rant.
Well, I'm sure I'll be popping up from time to time in here.
Luke.
Like I said, anything with five strings and a black blocked maple neck will get my $$$$$.
I know the DJ5 has a different neck profile than the other Lakland 5s...but tonally, bland is not how I'd describe any DJ I've played.
Ah...now I'm seeing what the playing a 5, and 6 string compensates for! I thought it was the other thing
watch it! I'll put a 3-toed foot upside yo head!
YES!!!! Just ask.....any moment is a "good moment" for that question......good luck and (prospective) congrats!!!
Thanks my friend
the Geddy Chi!!!! it would sell!!
i would mos def go with a black pickgaurd though.
and there is your black blocks randy.
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.
Well the good news is my DJ5 is in the country, its at the suppliers and should get to the shop before the end of the week.
Im off on holiday for a week from this coming sunday but hopefully ill be able to use it at this sat's gig.
I was going to say i cant wait but ive just read the message about the radius being rounder than most Lakland necks.
While i know it is im now a bit worried it might be too different from the JO5 neck. I know its in between the JO5 and my P5 so im hoping its going to be fine.
Im being silly aren't i?
