So, got a trade offer including a darkstar pickup (on it's own, not installed) and I'm thinking about putting it in the DS BG that I have. So it would be a DS P/J essentially... Yay/nay? Am I mad?!

Seems perfectly reasonable to me, but some might say that I'm mad..
But.. Would it be much different sonically than your dual DS JO?
Also, and I could be wrong, but I think one DS "should" be made with reverse polarity/reverse winding if intended to be paired.
Plus also too, depends on which item you're giving up for that trade.

You don't wanna know :/ lets just say it almost went to France, and now it's not. Whew! Close call
Try this while we wait for the smart guys:

Somewhat reminiscent of my avatar (when I was a supporting member for a million years...)
But yours is better!
too much free time
Aside from that, that's an awesome graphic!
Thansk! Only too ten minutes, and asked my boss
LOL!

Oh yeah! Forgot about that one! Thanks!
Just fell back in love with my Skyline 44-60 LE Chi, Inca Silver. When I had her set up recently, we put TI flats on. Not the right strings. Yesterday I switched those out for GHS Pressurewounds...and this bass came alive!! Gave her a good workout tonight to be sure. Pure sweetness.
Now, what the heck am I gonna sell to thin the herd? It's becoming a stampede! And the War Department is on alert...

Pressurewounds are fantastic strings on J basses.
Looks like you have a fender or 2 or 8 to thin the herd!

True that...and another incoming. I've stopped listing them!! As soon as I can identify a bass that I love less than the others, I promise to sell it.
1) I've always wanted a very early Lakland.
2) I love the way old nitro ages, cracks etc and always thought how sad that none of my Lakies would ever look like a worn out 60s Fender.
3) 11 is one of my lucky numbers
4) Old Barts are my favorite flavor of 44/55-94 pups.
5) Always wanted to know what a (legendary) McFarland Lakland neck felt like.
Well... meet my latest, the 11th Lakland built :
She will get a thorough testing with the band later today. Love the patina on the body!!

Ran across this photo on the Raleigh News & Observer website from a July 5 gig. Nice shot of the 2004 Lakland Skyline hollowbody (first year of production) that I picked up on TB a couple of months ago and never will part with. (The bass is nicer-looking than the shorts, which we virtually never wear to gigs.
