LAKLAND OWNERS GROUP #26

Do the Skyline bodies ship to the U.S. already routed? I know you can get different pickups for an additional charge, but what about a 44-01 or 44-02 with a passive J-type setup?

If nobody is sure, I'll give them a call.
Thanks!

yes pre-routed but without electronics....as for a Skyline Double J (which is what they are).....not sure....you would have to get on heck of a large and long custom pickguard from Jeannies.....you can reroute for CHIs because they are larger but for JJ? not sure...
 
In addition....does anyone know if the 5501 neck is the same as the JO5 neck? There seems to be some differences on the Lakland site.

Another Q hhahaha - does the back of the headstock have the serial number?

The 55-02 and JO5 necks are identical....not sure about the 55-01s...

the serial numbers are on the top of the headstock in black.
 
HAHA, you know it takes me a while to get pics up. Maybe tomorrow or after the weekend.


BTW, I weighed my self w/ and w/out on my digital baffroom scales. Bass weighed 7.5lbs once, and 8lbs three times, so close to 8lbs is my guesstimate. She's my lightest bass to date.

Played her plugged in, NICE! Very reminiscent of my CHI'd badboys, but w/ a slightly different flavor. The tone leaves me wanting to throw flats on her.... and that's just not "ME" LOL. I love Chromes on my fretless basses, but have never come close to cutting a set for a fretted bass. Hmm, maybe I can cut a set of Chromes for the Proto fretless and swap em back and forth, if I leave a little extra length on the D. Yeah, that's the ticket :hyper:.

Hey - I have a set of Chromes (5 set) "gently used"....PM me....
 
For those who own US 55-94's specially older ones can you help me out and tell me what the serial number format is, like how many digits, are there letters in it, etc?

I emailed Lakland on mine (it has a 4 digit sn) and they said it wasn't a Lakland number and for me to double check, it's lightly stamped where Lakland sn's are usually found and it is exactly what I emailed to them. No response yet when I emailed back to confirm the sn.

:help:

does this help???

Thinking about selling my JO5 when my custom comes in if its all that. Or may want to trade for a DJ5.

Really bummed that the DJ5 is gonna be discontinued before they do a different color. In my book, they would sell a veritable crap-ton (psuedo metric unit) if they kept a form of the DJ around and offered some other colors. That is IMB or IMO. :)
 
yea, man. If they could do another smaller J body and keep that neck profile, that would be tops!
I really would like to order this:

Today will be a DARK day, BLACK in fact, it's in the STARs. But, that doesn't mean it will BE bAD 4 me. In fact, this day will rank EXTRA high on my greatness SCALE. It will almost be as sweet as my fifth b-day back in '76.

yeah baby! I do think the original setup is awesome for that bass. Great news!





...but riddles? what gave you such skittish mood? :D
