+1, though I'm willing to admit that I might just have to get used to it... *if* it's got the same sound as the DJ did.

just wondering, is a 55-02 really a true 35" if you string thru bridge?
my 55-02 length looks same visually next to my 4 string jazz bass.
and since normal 34" strings work via bridge but not via body, i was thinking, is it only truely 35" if you choose to string thru the body?

I like it!
(And dang, Markus posted the design how many months ago? I'm sure most of you saw it then.) I'll admit, I liked the original DJ more, but I thought they changed it in a fairly tasteful way.
Hey dudes - just couldn't wait to post this. Leo just snapped this pic for me. In the mail as we speak . . .

All that matters is the measurement from where the ring rests on the saddle to where the string goes through the nut. After the saddle, it can run all the way around the bass again and the scale length wouldn't change. The through-body really only comes into play when buying strings. Through-body ones MUST be Extra Long Scale (or DR's.).
And yes. It really is 35". On my 55-02, it is actually a little over that.
Nice! That's a great pair of Lakies right there.The new DDunn gets a home on the wall of fame next to his fretless cousin, until rehearsal this week of course.
Oooh, sweet! Firemist gold, that's a great call. Congrats, Ian!

Agreed.

It 'could' sound as good, but it will never be as cool.
Nope.
I concur, but it's not EVEN a DJ.

I motion we stop referring to this as "The New DJ" as it's only what's filling the void in which the DJ reigned for years.
It's more of a Mustang than anything really. Let's hope it sells well, but it will NEVER replace the mighty DJ!
I second that motion.
Honestly, I think the P/G kills the shape...I think i'd like it if they re-did the guard so it flowed better instead of trainwrecking into the upper horn.
I'm going to be part of this club on Friday! I'm really excited, I've only ever played the Skyline 4-94, and L O V E D it. Now I have a ''limited run'' model (apparently) from 1999. Actually, does anyone have any info on it?
I tried calling Lakland and haven't heard back, 3 messages later
In fairness someone did call me today regarding a message I left 4 days ago, but I couldn't talk, I was rounding. Told him I'd call back in 20 minutes, but alas no response. Anyway, excited about the bass, anyone with info?
