yes - it was Marty...but I was thinking about the bassist who had them done...
On that same line was the original AC DJ (the natural finish DJ) supposed to be a LOG bass? For some reason I feel like that started as a special run of some sort and then became kind of a more regular option. I still want one of those at some point.
Great memory
Yes
That was supposed to be the LOG bass but we didn't get 30 orders ( minimum at the time)
Interestingly enough they sold over 100 of them over time.
I was offered to purchase serial number one by Lakland but had already gone pretty much 5 string by the time .... So I turned it down....
Seems fine to me. Spacing is measured between string centers.
That would be Randy.
Thank your Marcel!
You are 100% correct. For some reason I could not remember his name.
I do remember that whenever he played he used to wear a very wide white belt.
Funny what you remember and don't remember.
Damn getting old.

A little live Skyline 55-60 action. “Old Glory” was sounding pretty beefy through the PA. We’re usually a 5-6 piece band but had to trim down to a 4-piece for this show. Sounded pretty tight.
Apologize as the video quality leaves a bit to be desired during the low light segments. Sounds pretty good though.

My recollection on the Skyline Decade is that orders were taken through Steve Barr of the Dudepit. But something happened with Barr, and after a delay Lakland stepped in and finished the job.
I'm just about certain that that run ended up being the first batch of Indonesian Skylines, I remember visiting the shop and the basses were there along with the not-completely-unpacked PLEK machine.
I owned one and I really liked it - the updated Bart Pre and pick ups with pull up passive function worked well - it felt light and fast, mine was well set up on low action - great for modern tones and slap, different sounding than Lakland's LH3 and Hansons. The OS (off set) body shape is comfortable, although I didn't see a big difference, just fit well overall like my over lakies. I got a great deal on mine and it played fantastic.
Love the progressions on amazing grace, fun! and nice to hear your Lakkies Doug, thanks for sharing
Excellent, a LOG Tradition thanks Doug! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Looks like a great show, sounds good too! thanks for sharing!
I believe this is typical nut alignment from Lakland. My 55-94 had similar spacing. My tech swapped it out for a more "even" distribution. Do what feels comfortable to you.
Attached is my new nut (installed) and my old nut held in place. I tried to line up the ends with the edge of the neck to see where the old spacing was.

Thanks much!
It's a fun one... The guy who arranged it is super talented.... Ironically I remember watching him play sax in the grade school band!
Now he's all growed up and stuff!
NBD! Today I fount a really nice JO5 at a pretty peculiar guitarshop in Amsterdam (de plug). A shop that looks more like a guitar thriftshop or guitar hoarders livingroom than anything else. But I was looking for a passive 5 and they had a nice example right there behind some old Eko’s, framus’ and other oddities. Really happy to join the Lakland owners club!
