Certainly a group I need to be a member of. I'm also hoping I can find the exact DJ5 in a black/maple combination.

Seriously considering letting go of my drop dead gorgeous one off US Decade.
It is the only one in "Firemist Gold".
A custom color designed by Pat Wilkins and the original owner Ian Allison.
Single coil chi sonics/ passive.....
Just play my other Laklands a bit more and am thinking 4 USA Laklands for a non gigging kinda guy is a bit excessive. LOL
Stay tuned, Will give LOG doodes first dibs if it does become available
I think a decade is the only model I haven't tried/owned yet. must resist mind control ray.
well my friend as mentioned, I MIGHT loose my mind and let this go.
Then again????????????
I just am coming to my senses slowly but surely and finding I just do not need all these high end basses hanging around barely getting played more times than not these days.
Would the sale of this bass get you down to your magic number we spoke of?
If yes, then stay on target red leader and sell the bass.

Nope, not going to get me down to 9.
LOL
Time will tell, have someone already saying they want it.
But honestly.... seriously on the fence IF I want to part with it.
Will NEVER find another like it.

Sweet looking Lakland! How did you get a case that has the Lakland logo? That case is sweet too. I have the same case, without the Lakland logo.

But that's what's so cool about US Laklands...You can order anything you want. I bet I could find another one like it is I ordered one;-) But it's a custom shop...If I want a P bass in baby poop brown...I can order it!
ummmm yea sure ya can order it if you want to plunk mucho $$$ for it and wait 3 months or so.
I am talking about finding one mint on the used market for under $2,300.00.
Not gunna happen bro
Baby Poop Brown huh? hmmmmm? With sparkles? LMAO

Nope peanuts. Eeeeewwwww! Sorry, had to go there.
I get your point, but you did mention that the body shape, especially the upper bout wasn't exactly ideal for you - just saying

Do you mean one of these?
Just for reference, here is a very poor photoshop of the clear guard. In case it changes anyone's opinions.
ShowKing knows where I stand, yay.
This is the inspiration. The graphic would be a challenge but you get the idea.

Chet, you need to hang out more at Link Removed bro.
EDIT: my kids took my iPhone when I was writing this.
But I was going to say that there are three types of Lakland US cases. You got the original one: cream without the logo. After some time they changed to the off-white (lighter color than the one before) with the logo. Then recently they changed to the brownish one with the logo on a plate.
I preferred the looks of the white one, but the new one has two advantages: it's considerably lighter in weight and it fits the 55-64 (the others don't).
