Cool! Glad it went well, Randy. In that pic, was it the angle or were you wearing guyliner?
Just the angle... no guyliner here!
Well, hang on now--they had a one-time shipment of Skyline fretless maple necks, it was over a year ago (possibly two). I'm not sure how big it was (not very, I think), and I don't think anyone has inquired lately as to whether there are any left. But if you're interested, it can't hurt to contact Leo.
I am finally a Lakland owner!!! Here is my brand new Skyline Decade I picked up. I played her for a day and decided she needed flats. Not my "go to" yet...but she is getting there.
hey guys....NBD NBD NBD!!! HeeHee.....and met another great TBer and LOGer....Bassman7pm, thanks for a great bass and a great deal! Pics will be coming soon.
55-01D, Quilted Cherryburst, Rosewood. Here are the questions: FatStacks or Big Splits?????? Hmmmmm? Maybe an East U-Retro???
P.S. I just love it when my wife reads over my shoulder correcting my bass grammar. She did allow me to buy this one so she gets a free pass....THIS TIME!!!

LMAO...not
Yeah baby...yeah!
I had flat on my last DS'd p bass...so I'm thinking that too. Rounds do sound good! But I think it's going to be flats.
I was thinking that too about the PJ...hmm....

Cool man! Great basses!
will they fit into the standard 55-01 PU cavities??
Not sure about that one...call Leo or John!
Passive? Consider Big Splits (I have one in my 55-01-57 P/J and it kills!)
Active? Consider FatStacks
Congrats!

i heard they are working on a chi to fit the 55-01 cavity, probably worth the wait

Why change it? The stock pre and pickups sound great. I respect the desire to mod, but why rip the guts out the minute you get the bass? Play it and see if you like how it sounds stock first. 
I'm digging it more and more. I didn't like it at first with the Lakland rounds, but as soon as I put my Fender flats on it...it came to life. Sweet tones through my Ampeg B-15N! I used it solo at church on Sunday and the leader said he loved the tone through my Walkabout. The neck on these is so nice...makes me want to sell my Yamahas and grab a Duck Dunn or DJ.
They are...but I don't think he can wait that long
DING DING DING, we have a winner, plus the pull to passive doesn't work. Anyway, here are a few pics.
and here its quilted siblings
Nice! I like the Chis with either, but they do sound sweet with flats. And the Plek'd boards are so smooth...
I really believe, as I know many of you do, that the PLEK system really makes a difference. I've played a few basses over time, including my Decade, that have been PLEK'd and man does it make a difference. Lovin' it!

I've spoken with Bo at Hanson (...lakland?) and it turns out they are working on getting the Chi-sonics into the 44/55-01 pickup "hole"
