I can't afford to pay for my internet access until some bass(es) sell(s).

Shank that 30" hobo?

I'd shank a hobo for that bass!

Instant review...the thing is awesome. Anyone considering one should go for it. One of the best SS basses I've played, superior to the feel of any import I've played.

I like the bridge pup solo'd with the tone rolled off.

That being said, I think I want Marty Bell to make it a pretty pastel color...

Hi!
Could someone please tell me what's the height of the string retainer on a Skyline JO? It seems the factory forgot to put one on my bass, and I'd like to fix that. I'm considering either of these:

so either 3,5 mm or 7 mm. What do you think?

Why not just call Lakland or your dealer to get an OEM one?

Um, huh? Whaa? Stabbing a tiny 30" homeless man? Playing a bass? What does it all mean...?

Yeah, I could do that, but since I'm in Europe these options would probably take a few weeks, and I can source the Gotoh ones locally.

Pretty much this. Get the bar retainer from Lakland. Don't ruin the look with the disk... Or god forbid 2 disks...

Mine is a 4 string, and I don't like the idea of a bar retainer on a 4 string bass. I was thinking about the 3 string Hipshot thingy, but it would cover part of the Lakland logo.

So this week I upgraded the JO5 to a VT/VT setup, and CAN NOT BELIEVE the difference! Holy cow, it almost makes me feel like I can stop lusting after another LOG bass!
Pics and more details later, but WOW, why didn't I ever hear about this before, lol?

My 55-02D is sitting at the UPS facility about 3 miles from my office, I just got out of jury duty, the fact that its so close is killing me and I have a MRI and property tax hearing on Friday...

Plus, I need to photograph my other 44-02D so that both of them can be sold. Too much to do!

No idea when I'll get to play the 55-02...

Randy, I guess you didn't read my posts when I got my early US JO in 2009.:D I sang the praises of the stack knob layout then. Being able to roll some treble off that bridge pickup was pretty darn cool in my book.
