Looks like the control plate is mounted in farther than a DJ built for a pickguard. Is that the case Evan?

I'm really diggin' the humbuck'd DJ...

The more I see the natural DJ with the binding the more I like it. Gonna get a black guard for it some day?

It had a pickguard at one point, the holes are there. I don't know if I'm every going to add one since I like the thumb rest so much... maybe I will down the line.

DOUG, I did not get an acrylic. I just got another oil coat or whatever it is on it. The flats are there to stay, so there should be no reason for acrylic. I'd prefer not to, but we'll see how the board holds up to my beast of a left hand.

Our tour has a date in Chicago on Dec 15. I worked out some hang time with Dan, which will include picking up my 2 new basses that I ordered in January.

#1 - USA BG, black w/ black guard, maple neck w/ black blocks & binding, 1.625" nut and a Chi-sonic humbucker! Flats will go on this one.

#2 - USA BG, white w/ black guard, rosewood board w/ dots & binding (ala 1966 Jazz), 1.625" nut and a standard Lakland P pickup. Roundwounds on this one.

Very stoked!!!!:bassist:

I'm stoked that an excellent, hittin'-the-big-time player like Julie Slick posted several times in the last thread (though it's not reflected in this list).

Note that #30 lasted nine days--so divide by that number to get your Lakland-posts-per-day count, and that's just on TB.:D

not fair! I was out for a few days! ;-)




meanwhile, Nessie has arrived to the guy who will get her over the pond. His description was, "I have no words, it's a killer!"

I wish I knew what he was saying:

An overly simplified and likely butchered translation:

It's a 4 string passive bass with the new Chee Sonic pickups. Humbucker with a Single Coil sound. / it's a bass that looks alot like a Gibson Thunderbird, but there are some differences. / The bass comes in this red color, and I put the white pickguard on to make it look more interesting. / Not available in Sparkling Turd. / The controls are like a Jazz bass, but with different sounds. / This is Markus' hat. He doesn't know I have it. / The neck pickup has a very full sound. / With both pickups it has an interesting sound. / It's a bass best designed to play rock, among other things. And blues. / I'm using some of the bridge pickup but this is mostly from the neck pickup. / It's a Lakland Deecade and is available everywhere. / I wish they made a 5 string Skyline P-Bass.


I think I got most of it, but some of it doesn't seem right. :p

SERIOUSLY LOL!!! No Sparkling Turd? I'm out!


BTW...I do have a hat like that!


That dude needs to learn some alternate picking though..

Had a great time last night. Had calzones and stouts w/ Aaron and his coworker who's also a musician (poor guy barely got a word in).

Got to see his basses, LPB definitely IS more striking in person! And, that non-ACDJ is super cool- light, small and sexy. And the Glaub neck felt great, unlike all the Fen**r P necks that have always seemed to feel too big.

We had no time for strippers and spooning though, I had to work. My dachshund was SO disappointed.
