I did not know that! What a transformation. Catapilar to a beautiful butterfly!
My Chisonics are really early! I have the absolute first 5 string 5JS (as they were called at the time)....I know my Chisonics were custom wound...so maybe that has something to do with the output.
while finding these pics...found some of my "older" Lakies....a trip down memory lane (just a few):
Yup...the work of Pat Wilkins!!!
Such a nice array of Lakies over the years, @basspraiser! Lots of configurations that I've never seen or considered but now want!

Thank you and "sorry"(?)
@basspraiser - thats a lotta Lakland love!
My gateway basses were the following:
1) Ordered the DJ4 (because I loved the way it looked)
2) Convinced Dan to do a run of Amber 55-02 basses (ordered the first one of course - this was less than a week from ordering the DJ)
3) Bought a used Skyline BG from a guy in Madison while waiting...such a great bass (2002?) ! Took it to Carl for a set up and he thought it was a US Lakie.
Regarding the Amber 55-02s we had a subgroup at the time called the Amber Group...we used to know where (almost) all of them were....for the old timers remember Amber North, Amber East, Amber West (mine was Amber midwest).

That had to really have been back in the day if you had a 4 string! Beautiful collection and nice Lakland history.
Amber in the Sky with Diamonds...Amber On Down to Mexico....Amber the Midnight Rambler...etc.
Wow beauty! just catching up! Put a downpayment on a 55-02 deluxe yesterday...Lakie number 3

Prepping to host Thanksgiving tomorrow so moved everything to one corner. The sunbursts looked good together.
