But if I want to eat...I have to work! And don't get me started on self employment tax!
I wont. Hey Markus, which bass of yours gets the most playing, now that they are all "settled in"
Hmmm...I actually have to say I play them all the same. Just depends on my mood.
This just landed in the classifieds - would love to - but alas I am fresh out.

Ah of course you do. You weren't by any chance, a politician prior to your current job, were you? Lol.
anyone here running any kind of tube/overdrive pedal with their lakies? One thing I am looking for is a new DI, and thinking about getting something that can give me that tubey sound when I am not using my rig. I have a pedaltrain mini that I am building for a grab and go for gigs where I run direct.
I am thinking about a DHA-VT1-EQ but curious what else is out there. I wish the VT bass had a di, but that is a different topic. What are you using and how do you like it?

Hell no!
I might play the Js and the HB a little more...just a sconche.
Would be cool if you could get it! Just don't tell me it's gonna be a CS51P
You actually mean product line, like a new model? Personally I like the idea a lot but let's face it: with Sting at hand, Fender still aren't selling tons of '51s
was thinking the exact same thing. The HB does have an unique headstock
BTW, anyone has pics of a bass with the "lawsuit" Lakland headstock? From what I've read I have the idea that at least a few production line basses were made in early 1995
So, I've had this beautiful 55-02D that I traded for a couple weeks back. Easily the best playing and put together Skyline I've owned out of 4 now. However, the tone is just not happening for me.
It has the LH3 system (not sure which version, but it is an '08 model 55). It came with a fresh set of Lakland strings on it (light gauge... usually play medium) that I decided to leave on for the time being as they were new. So, thinking that may be part of the issue as well. Hoping that slapping a set of my "go to" DR Hi Beams on it will help. Only other thing I can think of would be the midrange setting. Haven't really toyed with that yet, but curious as to what you guys have yours set at?

c
mine is bart pre lakland pups, I've chosen the barts' stock 500 Hz
for my ash/maple/bart pre/lh-3 pick ups,
I usually use the forward coil
pan @ mostly 9 sometimes 12 o' clock, occasionally 2 o'clock. Bass flat or @ 10 o'clock
mid @ 2 sometimes 4 o'clock
high @ 3 to 5 o'clock
I like to have a bit of vol at hand (like setting it @4-5 o'clock)
I remember using more often the rear coil with the all-barts setting
So let me get this straight...you spent time, and sleepless nights selling your JO5 to get the "GAS Master HB", and it's right there within your grasp, and you are thinking about going with a bass that you weren't even GASing for? I regret you inform you that this wins the very rare Mega-Totem of Shame!
:scowl:
firstly, I think that deserves the mega-totem of GAS fame
secondly, THIS isn't the Mega-Totem of Shame since it doesn't have these:
P.S. personally, I think Markus omitted those for decorative reasons. Like he thinks the curtain and the rug of the totem pole wouldn't match or something
