OK...I know this isn't Lakland specific, but I MUST share this with my Lakland bros! I just bought a Gramma isolation pad for my rig, and OH MY! What a HUGE upgrade in my tone!
Just posting because I care

I've heard them things are incredible.
They really are! Best $50 I ever spent! ChiSonics through my Fusion, on top of one of these is pure bliss! I found my tone!

I also have one of these Gramma as well. They are the soundman's best friend !!!! They do in fact make a difference in Tone, and so does the Musicord Pro power cables !!!!
Enjoy !

'Been using them since 2001... I always have one, usually TWO Grammas under my rigs, no matter the size. Get 'em up and tilt 'em back. Sounds much better to me that way.

Ive got some of the foam Gramma strips and it does indeed make a difference. We play a lot on hollow wooden stages and ive always been against raising my cab off the floor in the past but having these strips really makes a difference.
Opps, forgot to post about this.
I picked it up this morning. First impression was not good im afraid.
I think i was shocked at how small it was and it reminded of one of those 3/4 guitars Argo sell. Its also pretty light.
But after sitting down with it im very happy. Its nice to have a Lakland neck again. Ive been saying recently how well im getting on with the P5 but after a few min's on the DJ5 i now remember why i wanted one.
Very fast neck and i prefer the smaller fret wire Lakalnd use. I had forgotten about that and i think this makes a huge difference. I still like the P5 neck but after playing the DJ5 for a few mins the P5 now feel "clunky" to me.
I cant tell if there is a difference between the DJ5 neck and the 5501/JO% neck. There is spec wise but not sure it really makes a difference. Certainly my worries were put to rest once i started playing it.
Ive not plugged it in to an amp yet, although i played it through my PC using guitar rig in to headphones. Lovely tone but i will change the strings for Elixirs once i get back off holiday. Im pretty sure the Elixirs have more punch and i like the higher tension. For now though the Lakland strings are fine. I used to use them all the time on my 55-01.
Finish is perfect and im hoping the sparkle with bring it to life under stage lighting.
Really looking forward to gigging it tonight.
Ive taken a few ropey pics quickly but ill do some better ones when i get back. Im also ordering a Black scratch plate for it as soon as i can.

I always kinda wrote this product off. Glad I decided to try it! I can't believe how clear and punchy it made everything!

That sucks
One week longer wait isn't too bad though.Opps, forgot to post about this.

Glad your diggin' it after your first size impression. Looks sexy!
Not sure I can explain it correctly. Something about getting rid of standing waves. Here's a link to the site:

That is a beauty! The smaller body is one thing that makes me think twice about getting one. I am a full figured male bass model, and I don't know how a tiny little bass would work with my full figuredness...lol...I still want to try one though..I am a sucker for bound and blocked rosewood.
What cabs are you using it with? I am wondering if it makes a difference with a single 12. I would think that taking advantage of floor coupling with a single 12 may be a benefit.
