Hm. I hadn't noticed that extra chunk of pickguard. I guess I was blinded by the colour combo. I actually quite like the shape in this link here : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...93385ec&itemid=360056002776&ff4=263602_263622
I have no association with the sale.

I don't think of them as old school, maybe BEM blocks, no guard & let the wood do the talkin!

Mmmmm, blocky.
Was that a U.S only block party? You racist
Ah k, excellent.
The curved lower horn on the 44/55 bodies has its pros and cons, and having slight phallic tendencies can been seen as either
I like that one, but I like more of a jazz shape on the lower horn.

You're not alone in that. the shape I linked is my fave, but I also found a bunch with a softer approach to teh curves near the knobs, which I didn't like, and a whole swack of 'guards more like what you've done in your image. Then f course, there are the Stingray style ones, which shouldn't be a surprise, I guess. I don't like 'em, though.
I find it cool just how many different 'guard styles people are finding to put on that bass body style

Forgot your 4-07 had blocks! Does look good! This is all just talk. I doubt I'm going to do anything to my 4-07. I love it the way it is.

Get you're mind out of the gutter! There's not room for both of us!
I like it too. Nice to see all the different shapes. I used to not like the mm style, but it is growing on me.
I'm never too sure on this, but I think it was around 2007. What year was your DJ made?
If it's a Skyline, the first 2 digits of the serial no. tell you the year, and the next 2 tell you which month
Verrry nice, Markus! I'm sure you noticed Dan said he loves his fretless Decade. And the surfer with blocks looks as hot as I expected!
Man, I hope you don't have to sell it. That's such a cool bass! Looks great and it's truly one-of-a-kind. I'm pretty sure I've only seen one other jazz-style bass from Lakland with humbucking Chis in it; the guy was part of Conan's band, I think.Here is my U.S. Lakland Darryl Jones with humbucking Chi's and custom JRetro preamp with coil taps. I love it but may sadly have to let it go soon. I need to make some upgrades in my studio and might need to sell it to come up with the cash. Boohoo...boohoo!
Man, what a killer trio. How's that 4-07 workin' so far, Matt?random block party photo...
Luke's right, it was 2007. Early in the year, I believe. (I know Doug picked up his Hanson-loaded DJ early in the year.) Actually, it might have been late '06 when they made the switch.
Yes!
Not DJ related, but I really like the Lakland/Hanson guts in my 55-02 over the Barts that I tried.
Not dissing the Barts JJ, just keeping this post Lakie related
