Hi guys i played a lakland the other day at the store and i can't stop thinking about it.
i'm thinking to get a 55-02 cherry burst.
I've seen that some guys wont buy a lakie cause of the 35 scale.
i own both 34 and 35 and i prefer the 34 but when i played the lakland it didnt feel that long. i guess because everything is thrown towards the bridge so it doesnt feel that long. am I wrong?
i have a 34 warwick that feels super long cause the way they are made.
excuse my ignorance but what is the diference between the JOE OSBORN and the D.J.

I don't play fives, but I've tried 35" scale basses and had no problem with'em myself. But some people have small hands.
The differences between the JO (now called the 44-60) and the DJ (now called the 44-75) are that the latter has blocks and binding on the neck, as well as a smaller body.
i do have small hands plus i'm short so I think if I had a 32 would be perfect but when I play the 35 I do not find it imposible it is just more jumping arround with the hand.
I wish I could just go buty that lakland righ now but my wife would kill me; so i'll just wait for my birthday and make it my gift. hehe.

Well folks, my Lakland 55-01 fretless sunburst with ebony lined fretboard showed up yesterday at Mr. Music in Boston. They said I was the first Lakland buyer in their store as they just got the connection with Lakland established recently.
I was going to really give roundwounds a try. I made it for about 4 hours before I put on a new set of DD chromes.
Sorry for the lousy picture, but I'd sooner play than photograph on my New Bass Day.

P.S. Looks like the older type fretboard, is that right?
