My bass actually came with these and I really hated them... SorryLakie nickels

BassAgent, this is where I ended up in my string quest.
Flats: Sadowsky Black Label first choice, EBMM Flats second choice, TIs distant third
Rounds: EBMM Cobals first choice, many others get honorable mention, including DR Marcus Millers, Sadowsky Nickel Rounds, D'addario Pro-Steels
Generally prefer Flats on P-basses, Rounds on Jazzes, wow, what a radical I am.
Oooo so radical G!
Actually it us more radical that you are a keys player hiding behind 4 strings and a plank of wood!
we all have our cross to bear, don't we?
Don't be sorry... It's all good, that thing was awesome. Just needed a black headstock and a j pickup (definitely making it the best Lakland for Metal).
I blame basspraiser for convincing me to hang on to my JO, now I am a Lakland convert.

damn auto spell....supposed to be "late"....
Brian...argh! now it is in my head too.....whcih is worse? that or the frumpy shorts?![]()

Glaubs do not come up that often...

Just wait until you see the other little something I have coming in, uh oh
And Doug is guilty of converting many a bass player to Laklands, they should give him an honorary title like Lakland Ambassador.

I just figured that he secretly worked for Lakland... You know, Guerilla marketting or something.

Not me. I'm pure walking magic moulded from molten sex appeal. And I don't so much play bass as *pwn* it. I'm like Bass Windu with a B-string. Can't touch me, man. Can't. Touch. Me.

I think Doude is maybe a 49% share holder
LOL![]()
Anybody use a Sadowsky preamp w the JO5/5560? Soundclips if so? I need an outboard preamp, for mine, not sure which to buy....
I'm using a Tone Hammer and it sounds great. I've also used a Sadowsky Pre with a DJ5 and it killed.
Different flavors of good. The TH can give you old school if you want it. The Sadowsky is always clean.
