Crazy lucky find. Lower, Juan Alderete custom DJ. fretless, pj, killer.

Story to come. Now I have 2 of his Lakies, but this one is by accident. Had no idea until I took it out of the box...thanks guitar center used!

Have any of you current DJ5 owners replaced your pickups? I like what I'm hearing from the Lakland single coils, but was just wondering what you playa's like.

I swapped my Aero's with a set of Nordstrand Nj4's and really liked the sound.....seemed to bring out a little more of the wood from the bass, but in a really good tight way.

And for the record.....selling that bass will haunt me for the rest of my life....I miss it!!!!:bawl:

the CHIs are much hotter passive....when I got my JO5CS the sound guy thought it was active!

...there is a small volume knob on the LH3 to eaualize the volumes passive and active....Carl says to not overdue it or you get distortion....details here:

Yes, I have adjusted that before to try and equalize the two settings. I have to say though, I did not like the active set that low for some reason, so I bumped it back up again just a bit. I often prefer the active setting live and passive for recording, there is just that much more definition to my ear in a busy bar mix and room. Fantastic instruments and ditto on all the neck comments, love em.
I don't think I ever got a club number - so I attached one of my Lakkies to join if I could....

Sweet find! I thought Juan's DS-loaded Joe Osborn was black, too, but maybe this is a different one or maybe it was refinished at some point.

I had it refin'd to shell pink by Pat Wilkins. The finish was mega beat up, as is this fretless. Actually, the fretless is worse than the JO was. I only consider big modifications such as refins on basses that I view as lifers. But I want to keep this fretless all original.

This bass was brand new from Bass Central in May of 2010 (I am the 2nd owner). Serial number is 7243. I love everything about its sound and playability. My motive for wanting to Sale is mostly due to changing aesthetic tastes (looking for something with more of a vintage vibe),
Disclosure: When the bass was shipped to me, the bottom strap button screw was not fully tightened. As a result, the strap button was bumped in transit and scraped a tiny bit of finish off within a few millimeters of the strap button. I do not know how this happened, but such it is. This small imperfection is the bass's only significant flaw and is completely hidden by the strap when playing. I don't have a scale, but it seems lighter than my 60's J-bass; I'm guessing 8.5 -9.5 lbs. Bass comes with OHSC and installed strap-lock buttons.
Price $2400.00

If I had the $, I'd buy that in a Montréal minute.
