Thanks very much, Jim! I know you have a couple of very nice Lakies yourself.

Thanks. I could easily just use my amp at most venues, including this one -- those NEO speakers push power. But sound guys still run the DI through the PA. That way the sound guy can control the balance and levels with the other instruments and the bass fills the room more since it's going through speakers on both sides of the stage. I love the rig though and the easy load-in and load-out!

Here's another clip of the JO:

Nice work, man! Thanks for another good clip!

Just curious: Did you carry the Cubby Bear with your rig or go through the PA, too?
 
After much lurking, googling, and gnashing of teeth, I just bought this from Funky Munky Music.

It's my first "real bass". I own a number of modded squires and an MIM Fender Deluxe Active jazz. I've been shopping for quite a while, saw some great deals on some used ones I should have grabbed and in the end went with what I first saw on the Lakland site a couple years ago, a Skyline 44-60. The old JO first caught my eye, especially in this color, this one is the slightly different, LTD version

It should be here early next week, I know I'm going to love it.

Holy cow! I'm so jealous of your early 4-94 and the JO w/ the sick birdseye!
 
The '95 4-94 is so cool... such a historic piece, really! How does it sound compared to newer 4-94's or 44-02's? Any discernible differences?
First, thanks to you and everyone else for your very kind compliments.
Soloed, it seems kind of "polite", very smooth and unassuming sounding, but it sits perfectly in the mix and sounds huge recorded live.
The neck is truly amazing. Feels like the ideal P Bass neck. Just - 'right', you know?
It has a few unusual features. Metal neck plate, no battery compartment, jack on top of body, beautiful neck and body wood.

Oh, I also got to once again meet fellow Lakland artist and the man who inspired me to become a bassist... Mr. George Porter Jr.

He even signed the set list for me (and made a correction since he added a song).

That is super cool! I'd love to just hear GP live, never mind meet him!
