Well, it looks pretty clean, Korean and price is about right. Wouldn't be a bad purchase by any measure IMO.

NBD!! Well, it came yesterday so I guess DANBD, but day 1 was spent playing and didn't get around to posting until day 2...
Wasn't expecting this until Tuesday so getting her on Saturday of a 3 day weekend is a giant bonus!
Skyline DJ4 in Trans Burgundy with ChiSonics. Had to wait a few weeks for the pickup mod from the factory, but worth every excruciating minute of waiting.
Love, love, loving her...
Couldn't resist the gratuitous dog photo...love her a bunch too...

I'm really not a fan of that color on the Decade, but love it on the DJ. Must be the difference of the Ash, as opposed to the Mahogany
Thanks for all the compliments!
I'd played a couple of DJs and loved them, but blue, white or silver just don't do it for me so I never really seriously considered one (shallow I know, but you're lying to yourself if you say color doesn't matter).
So I was looking to get a new J and had pretty much decided on an American Deluxe J in wine transparent when I ran across these from Bass Club Chicago.
I was going to get the J-Retro installed, but then played a friend's Decade and REALLY dug the Chi-Sonics.
Always a little anxious about buying a bass that I can't play first, but they really nailed this one. The pics don't really do the finish justice...the grain is beautiful.
Then there's the neck...just fantastic. Craftsmanship all around is impeccable.
And the sound...well...wow!
I don't see the love affair ending anytime soon. My other basses are gonna be jealous!

Your new bass has been photo bombed!!!
Congrats!
*gasp* 
That is one of the best looking basses I think I've ever seen. I knew that Laklands in general were on my GAS list, but that is truly remarkable...I'm not sure if I'll be able to get that out of my mind anytime soon! It might be time to start selling some gear and saving some money!!!

+1
and
Does yours have DJ's signature at the headstock? I don't see it.
That grain is gorgeous. Much better than those stock pics online!
Wow, if I'd known I wouldn't have posted so many pics...turning into thread spam!
Style is so subjective. I knew this was exactly the bass for my taste, didn't expect others would dig it this much.
No, the headstock doesn't have the signature. I think only the US models do.
Yeah, it's always a happy surprise when a bass looks better in person...and even better when it plays and sounds as good as it looks!

Interesting... skylines have DJ's signature. My new skyline Lake Placid Blue does aswell.
Maybe they forgot a minor detail?
