Sweet!

 

[Eublet]

Color is UNREAL in person!!! Like a bunch or sparkling garnets! I can't capture it w/ my meager skills.

Agree. In all the pictures I saw, even the good ones, it just looked more "red" than anything else. In person, it has a depth and a sparkly sheen, like they ground up a bunch of diamonds to go into the finish. It's not in your face from a distance like a flake finish is. But when you get close it looks wonderful.

 

[JEDI BASS]

Yeah, that's why I posted that extreme closeup shot first.

 

[JEDI BASS]

The Inca and LPB (I assume) have that crushed diamond appearance in the paint too. As does the DJ pearl and black finishes, not as noticable in the pearl IME.

Man! A CAR DJ5 w/ Chis ("would you like Chis with that?" "Yes please.") would be smoking hot! Yum yum

 

[MarkusBass]

Word!

Look what I got yesterday. If i had to sum it up in one word it would be massive. It's huge, heavy and big and ballsy. Very bass present but not overly so or muddy in any way. Tons of punch but with a leaning to the bass side of the spectrum. I'm sure the mahogany has something to do with that. It's a rock & roll monster. And the short scale neck is just perfect. It's so much fun to play. Racy and effortless. It's all right there, no big stretches. I'm really glad I went with the short scale neck. I love my JO but it's going to get a little case time.

My addiction is totally out of control right now!!!

I'm wondering if the SE GTG is just a front for a planned intervention ??

 

[Musicman20]

Can anyone comment on the DJ5 weight? I dont know if 10lbs is too heavy!

 

[bamabass]

I should get home to see my new baby tonight......DJ5.....I have never seen the lakland LPB in person. If it is anything like JJ's pic of the CAR (regarding the sparkle) I will kick myself for not grabbing Terry two other LPB's.

NO...lol....I encourage these addictions. We need to talk about dates by the way. Maybe if I can find out when I am going to k-ville we can discuss it over an adult bevereage.

 

[JEDI BASS]

So friggin HAWT!!

 

[blondmix3]

For over a year I've wanted brown metallic...that would look cool on a P bass...humm.....ebony board and patching headstock... or dare I say natural headstock and maple, black blocked neck....so may options!

Oh well, we'll have to agree to disagree. Just not a big fan of brown

10 is very manageable. I've owned DJ5's ranging from 9ish to 11 lbs.

So pretty much John's old one with the correct number of strings

I thought we did ... 10lbs is heavy-ish but not morbidly obese.

I'd get one. My custom 55 I call Sexual Chocolate is over 11lbs. I have neck issues, but as long as I don't play it for hours everyday, on a strap, I'm good.

Huh? I thought it was a JO??

There really isn't much we can say....10lbs for me isn't too heavy. It all depends on you...your build, your strength, stamina, what kind of strap you use. Weight is never an issue for me...any bass I have problems with is about balance, not weight. My DJ4 balances perfectly...and in a few hours, I will know about my DJ5

Sorry..you are right I missed it!

Thanks

I think im going to wait and see if I can get a 9lb'er...or just wait for the new bass Lakland come out with.

Heck yeah! I know some places for adult entertainment too! Maybe we can find a lady w/ LPB eye shadow and tort pasteys !
