I have a friend who buys all of his Martins from Sweetwater and another who buys his Taks from Sweetwater...I hear they are great to deal with!

I'm thinking about picking up a 55-60(JO5) in the LTD Teal Green Metallic finish. :bassist:

Typical "Big Gov't/Big Corporate" answer....."we cannot (WILL NOT) fix the problem....our product is good...YOU are not using it properly"....(what they REALLY are saying...in a "nice way")

aren't you glad Lakland never responds that way?

Dunlop c/s replied already:

'' I'm sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience with your 1st set of Dunlop Strings. While Dunlop Strings will work fine on a 35" scale bass strung thru the bridge, going thru the body is a different issue. You may want to try stringing them thru the bridge. I think you'll find that the B-string is focused and the entire set is well balanced with a very clear fundamental. ''

Just pulled out the Skyline JO after a long hybernation - dang that is a great playing bass.
8lbs, one piece ash body, Fralins, real skinny neck. Heck, I might like it more than my US JO.

Gratuitous pics -

cool...will have to figure it out....yeh they freak out at any protein!

why is it tougher to bring in a Skyline than a US? just curious...

If it's not made in the US, it's not Kosher according to NAFTA. It's not really a drag bringing the Skylines over, but if the package doesn't say 'Made in USA/Made in Canada' on the shipping label, it can get dinged at the border as a non-free-trade item.

not sure if I could make the case that a couple of elk steaks were made in Canada, either...

My guitarist's newish guitar was almost a Martin. Then I pointed him towards the Taylors, and it was all over. He's happy as hell with his Taylor, and if I ever have a little guitar money hanging around, I'm getting one too. No question.

Yeah...When I order anything from them...they call me to ask if it is to my liking. I feel like a king! Hand me a turkey leg!!
