hey everyone,

stepped in to say my heart is with you,and share some news. Going through an interesting period of personal and professional life, the 55 Dual J fretless AKA Nessie traded for a 55-94 that used to be mine before, Carl's hand wound stompbox LH-3 preamp sold locally, and found very nice 1968 Dynacord Bass-King amp heads that I will probably lean to to replace ampeg inmy gear.

All the best!

I think you will be fine...but just in case, email [email protected] for some advice....I am not sure how much L-R movement there is...sweet bass!

That is a US version of the Skyline non-AC then....looks identical!

Hey guys,

I've had this US DJ4 for a couple of years now. I decided to replace the current lakland pups replaced with aeros, so I contacted Larry to get things going. He asked me to measure the string spacing, and now that I've had a good look, I've noticed that the strings don't line up between the pickup pole pieces. The E string sits perfectly between its pole pieces, while the G string is about 3-4mm off-centre, with the A and D strings each being a little off centre, increasing to the G.

I'm aware that the DJ4 has slightly narrower bridge spacing, and that's what's causing the misalignment, and so I'm not too fussed as far as that goes. My problem is that Larry at Aero said that the strings must align with the pickups for good resolution, and that anything other than that will cause problems. So, my question to twofold:

Has anyone with Aeros in the DJ4 had this problem, and was it a problem for the sound? Or even any other pickups? This could be partly why I'm not 100% happy with the lakland pups.

If so, is there any way to adjust it so that the strings 'share' the misalignment better. i.e. shifting something so that the E and G strings are 2mm off, and A and D strings are 1mm off?

I ordered a new bass today, but it's nothing I can show off here :-/ BUT..... worth noting... it has a blocked and bound fretboard which I typically dislike.

Maybe I'll put a Lakland p'up in it :-).

Of course. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? At least the staff appreciates when I ask them politely, "May I fondle this one? Is it okay to grope that one?" Then, they all laugh with me because no one can figure out if we should call them victims when they're willing......

he he.....if they were willing no harm no foul....:D
