They are the wider Chi singles, like in a Decade. But for a 5'er.
But yes, very likely for sale.
Don't even have them yet.
I just got my second Lakland in as many months!
Sold a Modulus to buy a jazz bass because I was bitten by the single coil bug! Needed to be 35" scale and within my budget, so the obvious choice was a DJ5. The hunt was on and it didn't take long for Jorge's to pop up here on TB. Jorge was happy to deliver it to my house, even though he drove an hour to get here! The bass was pristine and LIGHT, a big plus in my book, and a rare find in a DJ5 from what I have read. Can't wait to get the bass to rehearsal.

Thanks!
Anyone have an opinion on which pick guard I should choose? Looking at tortoise (LOVE IT) or white pearl, which might look better with the blocks.
Mine's a LPB DJ4 with rosewood fingerboard.
I considered a white pearl guard, but having looked at photos, I decided against it. IMO you've already got the blocks and binding, the pearl guard just seems like overkill.
Tort might be nice though. Old Skool.
All of this is personal preference. What you like, you like. I dig that.
Cheers,

I had white pearl and it looked awesome. Mine was LPB with rosewood
That looks fantastic. I think it will look a bit different with the maple FB.
I was definitely thinking that the old school look might tone down the slightly flash color scheme. Not that I don't like it as is.
Nice score! Those trans white Skyline JOs are going to look great. I stopped by Lakland today for a bit (yes, I live close bySiked! I ordered a 55-60 Limited Edition in Translucent White! It's supposed to arrive in January, so I have to wait for almost two months but my guess is that it's worth it
Can't wait!
) and they said those are almost sold out already.

Nice man! Those are going to be hot! I'll post the larger mockup in a few!
Yeah I wanted a Skyline 55-60 in Olympic White to match my '66 Fender, but Lakland doesn't build those, regularly. Then they came out with the limited trans white, and I thought: I WANT THAT!
