wouldn't it be great if they made the Skyline DJ in black maple board?
i really like the white, but I'm sure sales could go up if they added black and sunburst to the skyline.
also it looks like it is not that easy to find the white + maple in 4 strings.
ive seen it in the basscentral site, but seems to be hard to find, or is it just me?

My two mains basses now are a Dingwall SJ (the one in my avatar) and my Skyline custom 44-64. There are definitely some differences in build quality, but playability (Lakland neck <3) and tone-wise they are both at the top of my list. I think that speaks volumes about how much bang for your buck you can get out of a skyline bass :hyper:

I believe I got that at WD Music.. Sent them the stock one so they could custom make it.

I've gotten stuff from WD before - great folks, excellent quality. You might want to check and see if they saved a template for that PG, and if so they can whip one out and send it to you pretty quickly. If not, you can either send it in (as the OP did) or they can send you detailed tracing instructions and make one from that.

I did inquire if they had the template and they replied with the tracing instructions. So that's what I'll be doing. :thumbsup:

Thanks.
