I don't know man... that's quite expensive right there. I would keep the DJ as is

Well, there is a decade on ebay right now that was damaged in shipping. I have been planning on ordering a decade neck for my BG if I can find a way to get Leo to sell it to me...lol. I figured a damaged Decade at a good price is cheaper than a new bound and blocked neck and a pair od chisonic buckers . Anyway, just thinking about options right now...I think a J-Retro will bea t the top of the list.

Well, I checked Traci's headstock, she's got half a dozen little bumps n bruises. Hmm, looks like she's been well used in her previous relationships..... the tramp! No telling what mark I put on her last night, but at least the tuners aren't bent.

My rt elbow's hurting for some reason :confused: I think I remember hitting the brick wall w/ it at some point :rollno:. Endorphines and Red Stripe lager = bodily harm I 'spose. :D

must do again soon hehe

You sure that a Decade neck will match up on a BG? Then there'd be a paint job needed for the headstock.

I say get the decade, swap necks if you can, and get someone to fix the decade. How bad is it damaged?

I was told that it would bolt right up, and I would leave the headstock black...I think a black headstock would look cool on a 3TB glaub with all the black around the edges.

It's funny. I felt that my Aero'd DJ5 sounded very modern-ish (although the RW board and tiny frets mellowed it somewhat).

And I assumed you were a more vintage tone kinda guy. Are your tastes changing or does that bass just have something special. It sure looks "special"!!

I don't know if my tastes are changing, even though I do own an active bass now. It's just a huge, fat sounding bass. I roll back the tone about 1/3 of the way because of the new strings on there. I remember when the lo-riders on my old JO wore in. It sounded awesome. This bass may sound slightly more modern than my old JO, but it still has an old school vibe to the tone. Especially the neck pickup! Warm and gooey.

Hey guys! I have been a bit preoccupied with some family stuff lately. Needless to say, because of that stuff, I missed my opportunity on the HB. :( Anyway, to make it up to me...my wife bought this for me! She saw that I had been looking at it earlier and felt bad that missed the HB. So anyway, this should be here Tuesday.

hey Randy, are you getting the neck done on your BG5? what is the time frame? Maple and Black are cool now that I will have one...lol

Depends on a few pending financial deals..... I'm the biggest fan of them, and I'd love to be the first on the planet with a Lakie fiver with a black-blocked maple neck. You know, because having the prototype BG5 isn't already special enough, lol ;)
