He isn't interested in anything that has been modded before he actually gets it in his hands :p




Hmm, I thought you bought it because you liked the sound of the DS. Please describe your impressions ASAP

I'm not good at describing tone. Sorry. But, I'd say the way the pre's set now (it's got mid switches), it's more mellow than a CHIbucker w/ a definite vintage flavor reminiscent of old hollowbodies. That combined w/ the fullness of a 35" B and E, a resonant ultralight (I'm assuming-- ash) body, and the Bart pre... I think it'll be pretty versatile and multi-voiced.

My band will always prefer my Bart-loaded 55-94 over ALL others, w/ SC in 2nd. I think I can get the 4-76 in 2nd place w/ some tweaking. It's gonna be a lot of fun! She's a pleasure to play!

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:

Not much of a story here. I brought home a 55-02 and a DJ5 a year ago, and just thought that the 55-02 was "close enough" to a jazz not justify keeping both, so I took the DJ5 back and bought a 44-02. Over the last year, I've hardly used anything but the "jazz" setting on either bass. It is a close sound, but it just isn't the same as a real pair of passive single coils. Plus the DJ is just so darn sexy.

So I called up Bass Central and ordered a DJ and a DJ5. Only have the DJ so far, and I've decided to sell my 44 and 55-02's in the process. I don't need that many basses. I'm just a jazz bass kinda guy, and the DJ is hard to beat.

The only thing I'd change on her would be the abalone SIDE dots. They blend in w/ the splotchy BEM, and make it hard to see position in low light. I actually have some trouble w/ the ebony dots on my other BEM-boarded Lakies, they're a little too small (at times) for crappy stage lighting.

Wonder if Carl could/would install bigger side dots??

I've been on the fence to get those stick on LED strips for over a year now, just hate that they're visible to the audience.

Thanks :D. Since Dennis asked, and I'm worthless.. how would you describe it's tone? If you remember that is :).

I agree with Randy's quick description. I can definitely hear the difference between yours and my DS'd Glaub (I A/B'd them at Lakland)--not only is your pickup a little closer to the bridge, but the pole pieces are at the rear (mine are towards the front). When I dug in on yours near the bridge, I got some good grind out of it. I'm sure EQ'ing would get even more. Also, I don't know if you ever play with a pick, but Dark Stars like them a lot!

Well guys, I’ve taken the plunge!

Just ordered a new Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn 5, in 3 Tone Sunburst with a rosewood board. It comes with the Aged White plate, and I’ve also ordered a spare Tort plate to make the rosewood look even nicer.

After many emails, and some excellent customer service, Dan @ Lakland has reserved me their lowest weight JO5 in that spec.

Also, to top it off, I have a new Aguilar Tone Hammer coming through the post. The pre-amp, brilliant dirt and fantastic DI will give me everything I need, and will add that little ‘ummmph’ to my passive basses if they need it.

GAS for basses? Not anymore, apart from possibly selling my MIJ P Bass and getting another USA P 08/09 in Olympic white/tort guard/rosewood board.

I am still after the Shuttle 9.0…definitely. Then Im done!
