...I am jealous

pseudo lakie related....my new rig in which I will play my lakies just got delivered according to UPS....MESA!
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!
Exactly! I'm proud to say I helped!
(does not fit.....just need to use it once in a while!)HOLY CRAP IT'S GORGEOUS!!!The Dark Star combined w/ the chrome knobs n bridge
.......WOW!!!

And, she feels like an ultra-light. My shoulder will thank me!
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?
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.
Yeah...that was when I ....was into Communism.
(over political????)I love those, but I just love the Rosewood look more. Sorry dawg!!The rosewood on my decade is beautiful!
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.

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.
