It's not my time to get another bass either, my wife said no way. But that's a sweet bass
That Bass is killer. Whoa! Maybe I'll re-think the DJ being my next purchase. Hmmmmm

Win some, lose some..... I cant decide what I want in trade... a Skyline 3tsb and RW board Glaub.... or a Skyline trans burgundy hollowbody... Somebody make my mind up for me!!!
Who has got some experience in comparing these two basses?

Hm. I have a 2008 MIA Fender that's better than any Skyline I've ever personally played, but I'll meet you halfway on some of the older MIA Fenders vs Skylines.
I played a few DJs and always liked the zing and liveliness of them, though. They practically slap themselves. Aesthetically speaking, I find the upper horn to be inelegant, but the overall size and form of the body's a fairly nice take on the J bass.
yup....that one makes you stop in your tracks for sure...
Had a Skyline BG4 and LOVED it....got rid of it when i got my US BG5PJ....have only played a few HBs for short periods of time but am always impressed when i do...
HBs are more "rare" and harder to come by so i would say go for the HB...BUT it all does depend on what style of music you are playing (to a degree)
Jes....I agree...I could actually slap (well pluck/pull) half way decent on my DJ4 ...and I cannot really slap at all....
hope to get to play this one someday!!!

Ok... I've been saying that I would add pics of the whole family since #55 I think....
Well.... Here's the current group:
that's a really nice shot.
yeah, I think that, in terms of tone and... I don't know what exactly, but 'slappability' is a good word for it, the DJ is probably one of my favourite slap machines. They just seem to beg for it. If I had endless money, a US one in Markus orange would be on its way to me.
