......and an airfare down here.......how are you gonna get by customs with that many basses???? they will stop you from importing.......I can see it now:

J: "yes Mr. Customs Agent?"

Agent: "Are you going to sell those basses?"

J: "No just going to enjoy them all"

Agent: "ALL of them? where is your other luggage"

J:"OTHER luggage? um.....WHO needs "other" luggage when you have Lakies!"

Agent: "Where did you get them all?"

J: " they were - um "donated" by a down on his luck American who's dollar is shrinking"

Agent: "Well in that case...carry on!"

Jes: you can play them ANYtime you can get down here....as long as I get Elk!!!

feel no....sound...actually YES! the bass seems to have more "zing" than it did before and I am VERY happy about it....not sure what changed.....maybe Carl put a different LH3 in it? not sure.....maybe he has it set differntly.....not sure....but it sounded GREAT yesterday!

I could make it "zing" for some of the more modern sounding songs and make it "move alot of air" and thump for the mellow songs etc.....I think i need to experiment more with the knobs on this one!!!

Was regretting getting rid of Amber (well...WHEN John gets here to pick it up!) but after Sunday - well.....let's just say that it is a "little easier to let her go now...

looks like the big 'WHEN' needs a 'yeah, right' thereafter

Hahah... I have a problem... once I visualize something in my head, I have to get it out or I'm obsessed with it the rest of the day. Denis' challenge that a P-style guard hadn't been done well on the 55's (and looked right/good) was inspiring too. :)

Anyway, glad you dig it... Markus contributed some nice enhancements too.

glad I can feel I had some participation... sort of :)
anyway, the brainstorm was astonishingly short and productive. Thumbs up!

Roadkill - I can tell you from experience that the Plekked necks are better than the "hand finished" korean ones. perhaps some were perfect, mine wasn't - it was within spec but didn't allow for a really low action. the Plekked one i now have IS perfect. The skills you talk about weren't used on the Skylines anyway - they were perhaps touched up in the States, but not levelled and dressed. With the Plekk machine, used as it is now,you can guarantee a perfect set of frets, allowing the action to be as low as you want it.

I can't now see what difference there could be in playability with the US models - the Skylines are as good as it gets, and my DJ5 plays as good as or better than any bass I have had.

Yeah, and I hadn't picked up on the PLEK-free nature of the US-built ones, either. So I guess I was way out to lunch.
