Long time no post! Any LOGgers have an old (er) JO4 they want to part with for some US dollars? Not interested in a Skyline. I’ve trawled the all the usual places and not finding a match! Here’s my JO 5 #1 for old times sakeView attachment 5381147

Thanks Doug. It’s in the early #300s but looks like it was never played. It’s almost like a new bass! The obligatory great tone and feel that we all love is plentiful

 

[JEDI BASS]

Great seeing you on here, Ferg… a LOGer from way back! :-D

Speaking of longtime Lākland guys… I’m going to show the latest strap made for me by John Jarmuskiewicz at Gecko Leather Works. It’s not for a Lākland, this time, but John has made matching straps for more Lakland basses than we can count, over the years. So, let this pic slide and share your Lākland/Gecko pics. I’ll be sharing mine as I find them.

Ferg I remember that Orange DJ5 you customized back in the day.
OMG how I wanted that bass when you were selling it

We’re going to need to see some pictures of that.

I saw a link to it and it was SICK! Gorgeous.

I’m fairly certain the level of lust I have for that bass and strap is neither healthy nor natural! Yowza!

I finally took her for a spin tonight, at my band’s first rehearsal with our new singer. Talking about how happy I was wouldn’t be appropriate on the Lākland thread. So, I will say that it easily feels just as amazing in the hands as my trusty 1st year 4-94, and that is saying a lot since I feel the Lākland design fits me perfectly.

I saved the pictures
I feel there were process pictures somewhere at one time.
I think this was when the ChiSonics just came out

Looks like a totally different model without the pick guard and control plate.

For a brief second I thought it was another Spector on the thread. Lol

Is that a DJ-4 body?

Looks like the correct DJ5 body to me.

That’s what I meant. A DJ body. Thanks.
