Hey Marcel here's what I need to know....is there anything you don't know about Lakland?
Anyone know if the Skyline AJ's will be available with Blocks/binding? That would seal a preorder for me.
So charcoal and black cherry for the skyline aj? I awesome wanted tobacco burst but I dig charcoal. What about the blocks

Hehehe, lots of stuff I still don't know, but I am learning one or two new things everyday!
No blocks/binding, at least initially--that's the word from John P. Maybe at a later date?
Sad day... but still planing on buying one ASAP that plus my 55-01 will be awesome then a 55-94 once I finish this degree
Hi,
I just bought a DJ5 with maple board.
Is it possible to get a RW boarded neck and just swap them?
Does Lakland still do these necks?

They're no longer making DJ4s and 5s, so I think your best bet is to find someone who'll swap w/ you. I'd shoot for a same build-year swap if it was me.
+1. I bet the last Skyline DJ was made something like 18 months ago, so chances are slim that there are any necks still hanging around the shop. But it doesn't hurt to ask. And they just packed up everything and moved last week, so they should be right on top of their inventory.
Thanks for the replies.
I am aware that the DJs are no longer in production.
I guess, my questions was more of a general nature.
Now I have to wait for the DJ to arrive and try to locate someone in Europe to swap necks.
That will probably not be easy....

Anyway, today seems to be my lucky day.
After selling off all my Sadowskys and enjoying playing paassive basses again, I found another Lakie today: a LPB JO5 w. Fralins and a RW board.
So that makes 2 LPB Skyline 5 strings in a single day!!!!

Sweet! You don't see many LPB JO5s around, that's for sure.
I've tried to love active basses, but passives just work better for me.
Decade sound but that is a JO - Great Bass Player, I have that DVD and it's solid all the way. Visceglia uses a US JO
oh man, that's a really great pair o' basses you've got there!
If you want to hear a really great, growly Decade sound, and an excellent bassline to boot, here you go:
YouTube - Suzanne Vega - Luka [LIVE]
you're welcome

Anyone out there using Circle K's on the Lakies? I just ordered a balanced 136 set. I also have a set of Elixirs that I'm 'testing'. I can't decide whether to put the circle K's on my passive P/J or the active 55-02 (LH3). The other bass with get the Elixirs (for now).
I'm curious as to folks' Lakland specific experience (if any) with these Circle K's on passive or active basses.
[Yes. I know that going through-body is a no-no with Circle K's.]

Never tried the circle K's, but once (only needed once), is that anything like the seven Elevens? (bad attempt at humor) I tried some of the coated Elixirs. Coating started coming off after about four hours. Fuzzy strings? no thank you.
