Man!!! Love that 55-07. Absolutely beautiful!!!
Nice surprise when I got home today - “Vintage” 4 Ply Red Tort 
Installed it right away on Funk #49 - Perfect!
Before and after:
Chandler Music / Pickguard Heaven did the work.
I’m keeping the original, but gigging her with the tort. Got 3 this week, starting Wednesday - festival season!

Yep. Black & Tort is my favorite...
Actually about to list my 44-60 FRETLESS that would be that one's twin...

vurry nice.
I'm a sucker for black and red tort.
current family pic (sorry, no Laklands at the moment):
Probably listing my US 44-64 Glaub in the next couple weeks. It's currently got a Fralin pup installed. Just posting here first for the group in case anyone is interested. Since I just got my 44-51m, I'll be playing that mainly.
SOLD - US Lakland 44-64 Glaub

the black jazz (MIM, active) has Nordy J-blades...amazing pickups with the original fender preamp.
It's my Tom Petty and Led Zeppelin bass.
the Hammersmith has the Big Blade Man, which is like 2 J-blades in the P sweet-spot. Neck is excellent on that bass, and its a perfect bass for modern country (which is what I use it for, along with the Roscoe P).
The Spectors are just not getting much play these days, but I love the big splits so they might get into the Zep or Petty rotation from time to time.

Actually, it’s the twin on both ends... Originally was a 3knob with mint pickguard, I put the Lakland stack knob and tort on it... since I was putting it on the market I put it back to the original... but don’t *have* to. :-DI’ll keep a lookout
Aaaaaaannnnnddddd, she's in the usually capable hands of UPS! LOL. Put her through the paces at rehearsal last night, and she sounded and felt great. Now I just have to narrow down the exact shade of sparkle

Does anyone have any experience of the 44-64 Classics vs the Skylines 44-64/BG?
As I documented above, just got hold of a 2008 Skyline BG, and it's very cool, sounds great but it's a tiny bit heavy. I've been talking to Brian about MAYBE having a Classic built instead, but it would certainly involve selling the Skyline.
If you have a 44-64 Classic, what is the Sunburst like on it? The website shows a very black to yellow finish, but I've seen a few pictures which are black to almost a dark red.
Any experiences or thoughts?
Cheers
