That is, until a BGPJ5 comes out in a Skyline of course.
Here's hoping.
Actually, I was thinking earlier on today, could the reason that Lakland has not yet released a SkyBGPJ5 be that they don't have their P5 pup figured out yet?
I imagine if I was Dan that I would much rather have my own inhouse pickup over another company's.
Just a thought
Nice point. According to Stew of Nordstrand, making a pickup(s) with an uneven number of coils (E.g. 2+3) may be a trick. However, Lakland already have experience with 5-string Bartolini and Lakland linear single coils, like the neck pickup of the 55-94/-02 and each of the halves of the MME quadbucker.
Now, just a thought. We have a 55-94/-02 3+2 quadbucker in the bridge position already. Mind you, a quadbucker! 4 coils! What if we had another one in the neck position, but with a different switching pattern: 2 coils = "single", 4 coils = "humbucker" and 2 coils = "this":

could someone please explain the difference in sound between a DS and a CS? Besides the 5th string, of course

I'm not sure how feasible it is, but it seems like a pretty groovy idea to me!
Slow month aye?
LOL, wishing those gigs were for the original project, but it's the cover band (which pays SO much better anyway

I spoke with Dan today and worked out final details for the first of two new Glaubs:
Black body w/ black white black pickguard, maple neck w/ black B&B, Chi-Sonic HB w/ a push/pull switch on the volume pot. Gonna pick it up at the shop during my tour.
The white Glaub will be done in January, but I am working that one in to a video budget. The video MUST HAVE a white Lakland bass
Having said that, it looks like I can take my Sonic Blue BG off the block. I really was torn about selling it anyway.

Sounds like a killer pair! I'm digging the music, just wish you guys were hitting a little closer to home (Atlanta & Chicago are both about six hours away....). Keep up the nice work!
Cool! That's a sweet-looking Glaub, hang on to it if you can. Plus, I was getting really tempted by it, so I'm glad you pulled it off the block.I spoke with Dan today and worked out final details for the first of two new Glaubs:

If you do decide to unload one of them down the road, I'd frankly pursue any one of those three! They're all going to look great. Also, I played the first Glaub with a Chi HB (w/push-pull), and it was just thunderous and authoritative.

Be glad, the gigging band I'm in, has been "breaking" for over a month now and the bipolar trio has only jammed twice in the last few months. I'm going nuts!!! Been thinking about joining a cover band, but soon as I do, everything will pick up again.
Great news. Can't wait to hear how the CS sounds.I spoke with Dan today and worked out final details for the first of two new Glaubs:

Speaking of pickups... I'd like a 55 w/ dual Bart MM pups, and as I've said many times before, a P/MM 5er. Maybe when the Sky BG5 makes it's debut, I can mod one. I know it will look crowded, but I'd do it anyway. Hmm, maybe a 55-02 would be a better candidate? Yeah!! Just get a custom PG from Roger to cover the route.

I hear ya....our singer went the rehab route....and then got married. Who knows when we will pick up again. Hopefully after the new year.
Good lord, where's Markus?? It's 5:30 AM out there in US Lakieville and he's normally up and posting (5 per minute 
) by now.
) by now.
the woman at UPS says that "Greyhound" will get your package there by Wednesday.
I said, "Greyhound? The bus?"
.
She looked at me.... bewildered..
Her coworker says "Ground!"
I start laughing, and said "WOW, now that's some REAL southern talk!"
Luckily everyone started laughing, she didn't take offense. PHEWW, I apologized anyways in between the laughing
