I have a question for some of you guys that are familiar with the Lakland building process. When a US bass is ordered, what's the process? Is it like an assembly line thing, got one guy doing the woodwork, one doing the wiring, one for the fretwork....? Or, does one luthier take on the entire process? How long does it take from start to finish? How many folks actually are there to craft the US instruments? Since Carl left, who took his place?

Just curious, guys.

Interesting question! I'm very interested in knowing about this too...

Question on the LOG bass and Lakland P5s in general. Is the most posterior pickguard expanded or is the pup in a different location? There seems to be a lot of guard behind the p pup in pictures compared to 4's or even Chefs Lakland P5

5 string's pup placement and overall appearance were affected by the 2 extra frets and 35" scale.

Just got a chance to snap a family pic. Each with it's own sound!

From left to right:
2010 LOG Bass / 1999 55-94 / 2010 55-60 / Custom Semi-hollow w/ChiSonics.

I also have an Ergo EUB, but these are all the electrics I have.

Ray,

That's a good question, and as much as I've been around the shop at times, even I can't fully answer that. I could give you partial answers, but I may not be exactly right. This would be a good "Ask Lakland" question for the LOG site. I'm going to submit it as such.

Cool, thanks bro!

I've tried 2 different times to join the LOG site, and have had problems both times. Hopefully, 3rd time's the charm;):cool:

that is interesting, considering the same wood/pickup combo... Also I thought the DJ WAS the agressive/trebley j-bass


glad you're digging it! great looks too

Yes, I find this interesting as well!

The DJ5 has even more punchy low mids than my alder/brz Sadowsky PJ5 (with similar Nordstrand PUs) in passive mode.

I REALLY like this DJ!

Now, if I could only find a regular DJ5 RW to add to the stable.
I've got some original Aero PU waiting to come to some use.

There's something special to passive basses :hyper:

Really? Bummer! Don't try right now, because the site is down for maintenance. Should be back up later today.
