Markus:

GLAD the stock knobs are on the HB!!! I like (REALLY like) the new knobs on the Decade....

BTW - interesting carpet contrast with the Decade....kinda a 1960s "laugh in" thing going on - the Decade actually fits ight in there.....

OK...Stock knobs are back on the Hollowbody.
I think I do like them the best. I did find some cool ones for the Decade though! I think they totally fit the style of the bass:

I'm getting in my car in a few minutes, and I may very well be coming home with a Lakie.

are you leaving with a lakie? Will it be the same lakie?

Wow! It's about time. I hear they're nice.

EGAD...why would anyone string a bass that way

 

[basspraiser]

Wow...the tallest totem in the western hemisphere!

I have to add about the Lakland...it's HOT!

MAYBE NOT what I am thinking about???? I guess we will have to see....maybe I should turn my phone on to see if there are any texts or v-mails.....

 

[basspraiser]

That's it! I'm getting tacos and going to the BEACH!

It's warm here to.....today (at least!) But I just spent 2.5 hours here instead of being outside....where are my priorities??!!!

OK - confused again!!!!

 

[mattygbass]

That's the downside I guess. All guards they do are pretty mcuh custom cut so you need to send in the original guard or a tracing.

Since Jeannies is the Lakland guard maker they have accurate templates. However with an early one like you have even using Jeannies I would consider sending that guard in because I think they are not 100% the same as the newer ones since Jeannie started supplying Skyline guards.

+1, when i bought a guard for the lpb that you have it did not fit.

 

[mattygbass]

I did a search, found nothing...

Matt IIRC recommended a Meguiar's product for Kobol's haze and scratches. So, I picked up some of their Scratch X fine scratch and swirl remover. So, anybody remember if this is the right stuff?

thats the one

 

[basspraiser]

Yep, you shoulda turned on your phone!

 

[GregC]

HHHOOOOTTT

Thanks, Aaron! I'm lovin' that PJ you're getting, I've lusted after that one myself!

yup.....what I was thinking!!! congrats Greg!!!! double your fun!!!!

Thanks, Doug/Doude! Oh, this thing kills!

 

[bamabass]

OK - confused again!!!!

OK, let's unconfuse ya....

LPB DJ5 is staying

Trading DJ4 for BGPJ4

Selling BG4

 

[Johnny Alien]

WAIT A FUNKY MINUTE HERE......I THOUGHT you got JohnnyAlien's bass....you got the PJ?????

oh yeh.....major congrats!!!!

Yes it is a tad confusing. That bass minus the jazz pickup is really similar to the one I just got right down to the really nice figured rosewood board.

I just got Terry's LPB Glaub and I am not sure who sold the P/J one.

Mine will definitely not go anywhere as I have been searching a long time for a LPB Skyline. It was like my grail bass.

 

[bamabass]

Sooo...what other skylines are made in LPB.....oh yeah Doude...I am kicking myself for missing Terrys Scheff....lol

 

[Johnny Alien]

+1, when i bought a guard for the lpb that you have it did not fit.

There ya go. I thought that was the case but didn't want to say 100% as I had not fully remembered. I know the black guard that I got from Jeannies for an older Skyline Glaub was not a great fit and I ended up selling it.

 

[Johnny Alien]

Sooo...what other skylines are made in LPB.....oh yeah Doude...I am kicking myself for missing Terrys Scheff....lol

The Scheff, Glaub and Osborn were all available in LPB in 02, 03 and 04. Currently the DJ is available in that color (obviously).
