LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #25

[bamabass]

I love the DJ neck and body... but, a DJ neck on a JO wouldn't appeal to me as much. I like the smaller body on the DJ. It fits my frame better for sure.

And that is where I am the complete opposite. Being a larger guy, the smaller body looks really tiny on me. But, give me the neck on a JO and I am a happy camper.

GREAT MATTY! those CHIs sure got a nice grunge to them in those songs!!!!

wow.....so which one is going on the LOG CD? (hee hee Hee!!!!)

Have you guys heard anything about Lakland selling out to ESP?

[mattygbass]

Sounds good, Matt. Good grind on the tone. I really want to get an SVT of some sort. The Lakland sounds really good through it.

LOVE it dude!!!!

[JEDI BASS]

JO on weight watchers?????

maybe a work out with Richard Simmons would help:

Yeah, call the new bass the Gay-O




















because Richard's just so darn happy all the time

 

[JEDI BASS]

Ok, just heard em... killer stuff MattyG! Even thru laptop speakers.



But, what in the world is up w/ the band mascot? What is that thing, a groundhog w/ a 'possum's tail?

Thinking of getting my first 5 String - narrowed it down to Peavey Cirrus US, US Fender Jazz V or a Lakland 5501 - what do you guys think of the model. Just looking for advice - played a friends Lakland 4 String (don't know the model) and it really nice, light and sounded great. Right now Lakland is the price performance leader of the bunch. Thanks!

The 01 series has a great feel to it, but the MK-1 electronics are mediocre. Shame, because at its price it's unparalleled in playability, but having to replace all the electronics for a good sound drives the price up equal to any other Lakland.

Thanks - so would a 5502 be the next step up?

 

[jmain]

I am sure that is in discussion....it all depends on what input DJ had or did not have.....and on what parts....

So if they don't use those ideas should be okay. Sounds a little complicated and hope it doesn't get too legal.

I like the downsized body and the fretboard radius - could take or leave the curved control plate and the finishes. Seems they could do blocks and binding on a JO neck and body. Maybe? Or does that mess up the JO thing? Shouldn't since the necks are the same as the 55 series. Then do TTS/Black/Natural and please Oly White.

Another reason not to do a sig bass. Hope it works out.

if you followed my link, you'd see that Albey and Darryl brought the design to Lakland for production. They own the design.. without Darryl, there's no DJ Bass. I say keep the neck, do a different streamlined body, load it with chi-sonics. done.

The 02 series is top of the line in every aspect. Massive step up from the 01.

IMO, the 01 series is the "entry level" Lakland. It doesn't feel or play like a cheaper instrument, but it sure sounds like it. All their other basses are just different flavors of great and all up to personal preference.

It's a shame, the DJ is the ideal Jazz bass for me, I'd probably have to pick one up used anyway, but if I were to ever hit the lottery, I can't order my dream Jazz anymore!

OK, just got back from Chicago, haven't even looked at where you guys are yet, but all I can say is GO TO THE LOG PAGE!!!! Tons of cool stuff posted from the factory trip, plus I may be able to shed some light on other stuff as we go.....
