It's currently an option on musiciansfriend and the lakland site (On the deluxe with the quilting). I hope I can still get it. That finish is sexy.

Definitely my favorite finish among the 44-02 choices, it's gorgeous in person. Looks great with the RW board, too.

Yep...that is one nice axe! And to think...it's sunburst! :eek: I never thought you'd have one...

Since the LOG is down, I will spout off here....I was playing my latest aquisition again tonight and cannot be more impressed...I love it more and more each time I play it!

I guess I love PJs.....this thing can get so many different vibes with just a few changes of the knobs....want growl? got it...want thump? got it....want grind? yup...there as well....

all it takes is a few twists of the knobs and moving to a different plucking position (I need to experiment more with my right hand position while playing).....

EVERYTHING ELSE IS FOR SALE......THE BGPJ5 IS ALL I NEED!!!

I don't own a Lakland yet, but I went shopping yesterday and I'm pretty certain I will be the proud owner of a 44-02 very soon. Just joined on here to read all the great things you guys have to say about Lakland basses. I've been reading about them for years, but just played one for the first time yesterday and was blown away.

Who owns a 44-02 and what can I expect from it?

Also, I was thinking about going for the cherry sunburst with a rosewood fretboard. I haven't seen too many of those floating around.

Nice! Glad you're on board! That's a great combo...love it! My son has one but with a maple board...I like it but rosewood would just make that finish POP!

I had to read over 20 pages of #30 that I missed - you guys did a great job. Also had to look up "turd" in the dictionary... thanks!...well, not really :D

Now I have to read the pages of #31 that I missed...

As for the "turd" question, in my opinion, a rosewood neck reqires a matching headstock. The maple with black blocks is good because it gives some kind of visual balance. Maple with abalone blocks - no likey, lacks contrast.
Black PG is the choice

Played my BG5 PJ after about 2 weeks without touching a bass.....a little rusty (my playing that is) but the bass sounds and feels incredible!

Sometimes a nice passive P is all you need!!!!

Sounds GREAT whether doing 1950s, 1980s or 2000s.....

aaaaarrgh!!!! you're killing me!!! I just can't hear any more praising of P5 (or PJ5) - I can't afford one !! As you know, it was very high on the list
