The LOG bass can do punk rock!!

Love it man!

Hey guys can I play too?

(lil' late to the party, Rumble, I know lol)

Very nice!

I have an addition to the family. I have been a devout Skyline user ever since I bought my 55-01 in 2002. With that being said, this 4-94 is amazing. Everyone said that the necks are magic. They're right.

Love that color!

anyone know the ballpark cost for a ebony fretless neck with a matching headstock (for my inca silver skyline)?

Install the RW Fretted neck and send the Ebony Lined Fretless neck to Pat to have the head professionally pained along with the US Version of the Lakland Logo applied as a finishing touch.

Cost - unknown...

Congrats! It looks great. And I'm definitely in the "necks are magic" camp, glad you feel the same.

The neck on old JO26 was absolutely magic... best I've ever had.

She's being re-done and a little re-imagined for me. I can't wait

Yeah, I can't explain it at all. It's just "right." This 4-94 also seems to have a bit more depth to the tone as well. It's amazing. I can't wait to get it to rehearsal and then to some gigs.

Not with Lakland. However, he does their custom finishes on US models...

Thanks for the link Gordon! Pat said it's $75 :-D thought it'd cost more for some reason lol

What I need to find out is if the Skyline Inca Silver is the same color as the USA Inca Silver....anybody know the answer? If it's not then he'd need the whole bass to color match.

Welcome to Pat Wilkins™ Custom Guitars & Finishes

He paints Lakland's US non-custom finishes too....just wanted to clarify.

They are going to be different...I would send the bass.

denchiq . . . sorry, it took awhile to get back online - was very busy - yes, lowering the pickups even further took care of the problem, though, at the same time I copper foiled the pickup cavities and under the control plate . . . I'm slowly raising the pickups toward the factory specs until I get the warble again . . . then I'll lower it down just touch!

 

[johndough247]

:-D someone with a Tetsuya! very nice...is it as pink as I think it is (it seems more subdued in the pic)...Does it sound any different compared to a maple 55-94?

Really luvin those side dots...
