I remember (before getting my 1st Lakland) NOT digging the 55 body shape's looks. But, the features and reputation drew me in. I agreed to buy my 55-94 without having ever seen or played a Lakland. It took about 2 seconds in my hands, to totally fall in love w/ the bass. Now, I can't remember why I didn't dig the body shape.

I felt the same about the DJ5's shape. Bought one off the 'bay and fell in love, wish I coulda kept it and wired it in series.

The JO5.... I've always loved it's looks! Miss that bass too!

where's my kleenex

Nice Jody!!! I LOVE the Banana cream!

Very nice! Someday, I'll try my hand (and ear) at fretless...

 

[JEDI BASS]

It's funny you say that because almost as soon as I posted that remark I looked at pics of mine and other 55's and I questioned myself. I think the lower horn just looks a bit short, but I think that's why it's as comfy as it is and access to high frets is great, unlike a J style 5 (my other bass).

Yeah, that was probly it.

I hear a Markus photoshop coming on....

Thanks Greg - Liking it a lot.

Thats funny Markus... I got to admit, I have spent the past week pricing different Pick ups..Dark Stars and Chi's to name a few...but, I am pleasantly suprised at how good this Bass sounds! Way better than I had expected-to be honest..we'll see - Chi Hum - DS....

A 44-01 fretless? Nice, Ferg! How are you liking it so far?

 

[fergbassplayer]

Thanks Randy - your hands can do it already - Ear is the key on the fretless IMHO

Very nice! Someday, I'll try my hand (and ear) at fretless...

I like the lower horn. It certainly looks shorter if you put a 94 against a MMSR but, as it is, somehow the guys managed to make the shape very organic. To say nothing of the higher frets access - it's perfect! Better access to the 22th fret than my former neck-through 24-fret Ibby!
